There are tenants at 60 St. mark’s and they are the ones asking that shoes be removed, not the owners. The owners have to bend over backwards to please their tenants in this circumstance. Second, the floors are gorgeous…original, and there are many details left. Agree there is nothing special about the kitchen, but that can be changed by the new owner. Lovely, lovely details.
If the broker is having an open house at MacDonut this weekend…just go. I doubt they’re going to add photos…they would have had them up already. The interior may not be photogenic. I wonder if you’ll have to take your shoes off when you go to the open house…
The MacDonough house looks beautiful. Anxiously waiting interior photos to appear on the broker website.
4:21, the kitchen at the St. Marks house is in the back of the garden level–it’s right before that “sun room” thing. I was at the barefoot open house.
To 1:35 p.m. regarding ground floor kitchens:
The issue is that if you have a four-story brownstone with a ground floor kitchen, you basically end up never using the parlor floor. At least that was my experience when I owned such a house in Clinton Hill years ago. I like the parlor floor kitchen better, at least if you also have a deck from the kitchen down to the garden. That way you have your living room in the next room. Then you can use the ground floor as a rec room or screening room or bar or something like that.
BTW, my only quibble with the St. Marks house is the odd placement of the kitchen on the parlor floor near the FRONT of the house, instead of at the back with access to the garden. Weird.
all landlords are greedy scumbags!
