The architecture of the Crown Heights house is great, as usual, but the ad says it needs a COMPLETE gut reno. No surprise…people trash these houses then sell them. Also, last year, houses comparable to this, already renovated, were going for about 50k less.
It must be a slow day. No one made any comments about the round bed in the tower bedroom of the Fiske Terrace house, and only one comment on the horrible bathrooms in the Park Slope house.
they’re all over priced. buy ’em up and drive ’em higher so we have something to talk about. 🙂
ps. I thought that orange formica was really something…
the other 6th avenue brooklyn properties has for the same price looks nicer, albeit smaller, but is in 321 and this isn’t.
choices choices.
quiet comments – Maybe we’re just all searching for clips of paris hilton freaking out as her tiny brain short circuits?
Anon 3:43, good idea.
I saw the 6th Avenue property at an open house three or four weeks ago. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t gone to contract. There’s been only a trickle of 1- and 2-families in the north and central Slope under $2 million that didn’t require a couple hundred K to make them liveable.
For me, this house’s drawbacks are the 16-foot width which did feel narrow in the hallways and the front parlor, the hideous garden level which needs to be totally redone unless you like cheap paneling and orange Formica, and the avenue location. This stretch of 6th feels more commercial than higher up. There’s a pub on the 5th Street corner and from the front parlor you’re looking across the street at a dry cleaners. The upstairs bathroom is cramped and awkwardly set at the base of the stairs on the 3rd floor – you’d want to relocate that entrance.
On the plus side, it’s a solid Park Slope address, there’s a lot of space (even the top floor dormer room is still pretty big before the roof slopes), You’re not impossibly far from the R and F trains, and the building is liveable now. The garden gets tons of light and is very open. What I saw to be done was cosmetic work only – the kitchens and baths, lots of layers of paint and plaster to remove, and the garden floor. It could be a great spacious one family or a nice triplex with rental.
Dear 3:43,
6th Ave is an residential AVENUE. It is long. It has more brownstones than any other street or avenues the area. Of course a lot of listing come from there. What is your point?
Has every house on 6th Avenue gone on sale in the past year?
Hey, here’s what I’d love to see: every week, Brownstoner goes back to his HOTD from 6 months ago (or a year, whatever) and sees if they sold, and for how much.
Unfortunately, I don’t think people really give a hoot anymore.
Brownstoner may have to pull a few tricks out of the old brown paper bag if he wants to keep things exciting ’round here!
Check out the his and hers bathroom shots of the Park Slope house. One’s baby blue, the other pink.
Oof.
