Malphious, me thinks you need to go back to real estate management school…
A) being across the park is a huge asset
B) having tenants is a major plus for most people
C)when you finally pull the trigger and buy a place…sounds fitting, because you WILL need a gun because you’ll be buy in a really crappy neighborhood.
why would anyone buy right now? makes no sense we are headed into a terrible recession because of this whole housing nonsense.
The Park Slope house (the best of the lot) has exactly the same woodwork and layout as my aunt’s house in Bed Stuy. Interesting.
In answer to Mona, who knows, you’d have to see what the rest looks like, but you’d have to take out two kitchens, tear out some walls, put new walls up, perhaps. If you decide you want to move the main kitchen, or the location of the master bedroom, or living room, there’s that to consider as well. You might want a new kitchen and several new bathrooms, while you’re at it. Assuming there’s nothing majorly wrong with the infrastructure of the house, like wiring, plumbing, etc, I would expect all of it to jack up the total to around 2.8 or 9. That’s assuming you go top of the line, in workmanship, materials and appliances/fixtures. Just my $.02.
Check out the crazy backyard photo of the Carroll Gardens house. It looks like a giant, hairy, green vagina.
The Fort Green house will end up selling for 1.5 – 1.6 mill.
It takes a lot of time and money to build a beautiful duplex or Tripplex. Also, being directly on Fort Green park means noise from traffic.
When I finally pull the trigger, I want a side street near a park. I also hope to get a good enough price and have enough stashed aways that I won’t need to have any tenants.
I’m a real estate manager/owner by profession, and the last thing I want is a tenant living above or below me.
How much do you think it would cost to convert the Park Slope house into a single-family?
Those CHP’s who sign in are real, all others mere shadows.
I’m flattered. About as much as Louis Vuitton is by counterfits sold on the street.
CHP, that has to be the owner posting about that house. There is just no way – Who would pay near $2 m for a kitchen like that? Give me a break.
Hey, been wrong plenty of times before, have no problem admitting it again, if true.
Just thinking that if I had a mil, nine, I could buy a fully detailed, better house somewhere else, and still have money left to do some major renovations and interior decor. But that’s me. This could be a major coup for someone with deep, deep pockets.
Buona fortuna!
