  1. The 10th street house has no bathroom on the parlor floor and no central air and a cute but not amazing kitchen. Not complaining, but wondering if these things were all done what the price would be? Would it just be what it would cost to do these things? Something like $125,000 more? Yes, I know you could do these renovations for less, but I’m talking really high quality renovations with an architect and an interior designer. Or would it be more than that because so few homes are really that recently renovated. I’m only asking because it makes me wonder how much it’s worth to put in to a home, can you get it back when you totally fix it up, when a house like this is considered done?

    And yes I too am sure this house will sell for its asking price. I’m only trying to figure out how good it is to totally fix up my place.

    Thanks.

  2. this site is also not about equating real estate agents with bad people.

    grow up, 10:03.

    if you think the house in question is small and overpriced by THAT much, you obviously don’t follow the brooklyn real estate markey very closely.

  3. 8:47pm,

    You’re clearly the one with the agenda.

    I’m the 10:46am poster and I have no affiliation at all with any brokers. Just because I question paying close to 2 million bucks for a small house that needs lots of work does not make be a bad person.

    What’s your problem? The point of the this site is to discuss Brooklyn brownstones. You’re welcome to your opinion and I’m welcome to mine.

    Go eat an onion or something.

  4. I doubt this is the place for real estate agents to hype their listings since so many of the posts, no matter what the property, are negative comments. Actually the only comments that may come from real estate agents are the ones that take this opportunity to bash a competitor as is obvious in 10:46’s comments.

  5. Some anonymous weenie called me a liar at 10:46. How exciting! Most trouble I’ve got into in a while. Guess posting anonymously makes some people tough.

    The house is 20 feet on the outside. I live in an identical house on the same street. Mine’s also 20 feet. Either P-shark’s wrong (duh) or my tape measure’s got a typo.

    Someone asked about 2006 purchase earlier. House has been owned by the same lady since 1979. Not a flip, just incorrect info on p-shark.

  6. Adding to the 10th Street discussion: my husband and I stopped by this afternoon. There was lots of traffic – we arrived before 3PM and were the 6th or 7th sign-ins on the sheet.

    Interesting house – the restoration/renovation on the woodwork and plasterwork on the garden and parlor floors is immaculate, House Tour quality. I’d change the dark-ish wallpaper in the parlor and ditch the awnings to bring in more light, but the parlor floor and garden-floor dining area are exquisite.

    The kitchen has no counter space. None. The current owner is using a kitchen table as an eating space and (presumably) prep space. You would have to re-do the kitchen if you’re a cook. I suspect the wonderful vintage Magic Chef range throws off a lot of heat – the oven doors seemed very light (ie not well insulated). The full bath off the kitchen is toeing the line between “period” and “kitsch.” The garden is wonderful and the mud room is sturdy and bright.

    The owners did not do any of the restoration work on the top/bedroom floor that they did on the two lower floors. Both big bedrooms need to be scraped and repainted – there’s flaking and peeling paint and some noticeable cracks in the plaster. The bathroom is a judgment call – it is very small (the tub is the smallest possible standard-size tub) and there’s no ventilation. You could use it as is and add a vent to the roof, or you could spend the money to reconfigure one of the small ‘bedrooms’ into a bath. Those small rooms are really small, as they are in most brownstones.

    It will be interesting to see if this goes for more than asking price.
