MM…are you up for a gut reno??? If so, that place on the corner of Adelphi & Lafayette would probably go for $700k.

I just looked at it and posted on the Forum about it on Tuesday.
Actually, given the square footage of 6th St, I think a million bucks is generous. When all is said & done, you’ll have spent closer to 1.5 to have a nicely renovated, but very small, house next door to the Chip Shop. Still a very pretty penny.
I think a million for 6th Street would be about right since it needs a gut reno, which would run at least 400+K. Comp would be that beautiful house on 10th St which sold for just over 1.5m+ recently, but was renovated to perfection and was better location (closer to 7th Ave, not next to the Chip shop, ugh).
slim pickins indeed, this is the best Mr B could come up with for open houses in Brooklyn?
Has there been some run on inventory I haven’t heard about or something?

Oh, 6th Street. Where to begin?
I live nearby, and this block of 6th is actually pretty nice. BUT this particular house is right next to the Chip Shop’s takeout annex. I would be concerned that we’re seeing the “3rd floor kitchen” but no other. Garden itself is fine but chainlink fence is not exactly photogenic. And while some of the datedness comes from the furnishings, I’d want to know what mechanical updating it needs. And is that wall-to-wall carpeting I see?
Definitely nostalgia pricing, especially at less than 2000 sf. Bonus touch: realtor page asks you to follow a Twitter account that doesn’t exist.
Kensintgon House is a couple blocks to the Albermarle Road entrance to the Church Avenue F train stop, which will be a lot better if they ever reinstate express service. There’s a decent-size Foodtown on McDonald Avenue and Albermarle, and a serviceable neighborhood retail area centered on Church and McDonald.
Also, the bathroom on the top floor is hysterical.
In the middle of all this dirt and grimness, there’s this tacky bathroom with a shower stall that feels like a de-sanitization unit.
Yes, the vet’s office, pharmacy, drug rehab and famous actor’s houses across the street have really driven the property values down…
Some sarcasm there.
The people at Teen Challenge are so nice it hurts my teeth. Recommend you check out their thrift store on the weekends and see for yourself.
