This beautiful Huntington Street house is on a beautiful block, where home ownership is a thing of pride to its residents. Ok, you may have to walk past some grunge to get there, but that is true of a good many places, including those around such tony areas as Hell’s Kitchen and certain parts of the East Village.
This block is not a pit of crime and drugs, something that will be quite evident if you go to the open house. Most of the houses on this block are in semidetached groups, so that the garages can be accessed. This is a winner.
I would just like to say that despite location, I think the two cheaper listings are actually nicer than the more expensive ones this week, at least from the pictures on the internet.
Well, that PS $3.2m house is a much better deal than the So. Portland house being discussed on the other thread, that supposedly went for over $3m.
would not buy a thing prices are going lower and the agents are getting very desperate. They are leaving the real estate industry in large numbers to look for work elsewhere. Hold out the market is correcting
what is the 6th avenue house being discussed???
Why are the taxes so high on that carroll street place?
“And Park Slopers wonder why everybody hates them…”
I don’t wonder at all. I couldn’t care less.>>>
Clearly that is not the case for most others from Park Slope since they spend countless hours defending themselves against the hatred on these boards.
Guest, it needs everything. The broker’s listing is misleading. The current owner inherited the house, stripped out everything because he intended to live there, then fell ill and stopped the work in its tracks. So right now all the demolition has been done. He’s run new plumbing risers and put in wiring for electrical outlets but everything is unfinished and exposed, as in dangling wires where outlets will be, subfloors but no flooring, exposed plumbing. The “new kitchens” are in boxes – Lowe’s or Home Depot – and were waiting to be installed as of last weekend. The bathrooms are not new – that is just not true. This building would draw more receptive buyers if the broker advertised it honestly as “we’ve done the demolition, now you do the rest of the work.” The location is great – that’s a beautiful block of Sixth between Berkeley and Union. We were strongly encouraged to subtract the cost of a renovation from the sales price (already reduced twice, from a start of $1.9M to $1.79M to the current $1.65M) and make an offer, but that’s way more renovation than we want to undertake at this time.
I don’t understand about the Sixth Avenue house–if it has all new mechanicals, kitchens, baths, etc., why is it described as a “gem in the rough”? What sort of remaining TLC does the new owner need to provide?
