Interesting that the best house of the bunch is also the cheapest! Hancock is a freaking gorgeous street – just walk that stretch from Nostrand to Tompkins and you’ll see what I mean. And Tompkins Ave. businesses are really taking off.
I believe that a few months ago 242 Hancock sold for something like $899K (I could be wrong, feel free to check on PShark) – and while it’s a couple of feet wider and technically a 2-family, it was pretty much laid out as a 1 family with conjoined mother-in-law apt. and renovations were by no means done.
The Greene and Hart houses have crap train access.
We replastered our salvageable walls (scratch coat over lathe, then skim coat) but used sheetrock for new walls or gutted-to-the-studs ones that couldn’t be saved. Whatever the cost of a new plaster wall, it would’ve been beyond us. The original walls, even in fairly crappy shape, are incredibly solid and soundproof–talk about “don’t make them like that anymore.”
“I get it. Everyone in the nice (white)neighborhoods goes away over Memorial Day weekend.”
4:03 – you are a douche
8:35-what’s wrong with modern? absolutely nothing, unless it’s done badly. i would not call this modern, i’d call it a basic, run of the mill renovation with very little “extra”. the exterior of the house is gorgeous, and some of that should have been incorporated in the interior. modern can be fabulous in brownstones, but again-it all comes down to good taste and $$
Yes from the pictures the sheetrock house is pretty hideous. It looks so modern – why do people put in those awful floors and not even run a simple border around it. It doesn’t even use much extra wood. Just a little imagination and paying tribute to the history of the house.
What’s the price on the Greene Ave one? The listing says $875K and then in the text they say the asking price is $935k? Is it really an FSBO or a FSBFlipper?
Original detail isn’t everything….i know two people that have renovated their brownstones wityh out original detail and they are going for millions…. the house 454A is great for investment purposes…period!
3:05 — sheetrock idiot here again. I get that you can re-plaster an old plaster wall. But say you’re erecting brand-new ones… creating a bathroom, reconfiguring a floor that had been cut up into rabbit warrens, etc. You can get that done with plaster today too? I guess that’s what supersleuth is saying.
But I assume it’s way, way more expensive–multiple times more, right?
My house has new plaster walls — but I bought it from a plasterer, who did them in his spare time.
