Your Own House in the Slope for Only Half a Mil!
Wow, the market must really have cooled if houses in Park Slope are selling for less than $499,000! This beauty boasts a 13-by-24-foot floorplate and a 3-foot yard. In addition to the vinyl siding, the ad also takes pains to note that the lucky buyer will inherit floors that are “tiled and carpeted.” All this…
Wow, the market must really have cooled if houses in Park Slope are selling for less than $499,000! This beauty boasts a 13-by-24-foot floorplate and a 3-foot yard. In addition to the vinyl siding, the ad also takes pains to note that the lucky buyer will inherit floors that are “tiled and carpeted.” All this for only $800 a foot. What are you waiting for?
One Family House All Yours! [Fillmore]
1.) The house is perfectly livable, horrifying blue vinyl siding notwithstanding. I’ve seen it, and it doesn’t look half-that-bad. If I had a reason to settle in the Slope (which I don’t, and would take Sheepshead Bay/Brighton Beach over the packed Downtown any day), that would be one of my personal picks. With a bit of work (starting with the siding), this could be a nice li’l place for 1 or 2 people.
2.) Re: “Wake Up”‘s question: because they can. And because he’s paying them.
Actually you can’t build on that site. The house itself is grandfathered but if you tear it down you can’t build on that small a lot.
It wouldn’t be a bad buy if not for the fact that The house’s back yard (all 3 feet) looks out at Katan’s pit. at 182 15th street. He has destroyed that whole area and is spending countless thousands of dollars to try to get a variance to build another 12 story Shit box (see 162 16th street- right up the block). Why the fuck are our elected officials allowing this scumbag to continue his destruction of Brooklyn is beyond comprehension.
Brenda, there isn’t enough F.A.R. to do anything other than make it a driveway. Remember, the lot is only 26′ deep. THAT’S 26 FEET! and only about 13′ wide…and the house is (let’s call IT what IT is) shitty. Truth hurts, and so does the price. It is not worth anything close to $500. Cute house next door was reno’d and sold 3 years ago for around $435K.
Brownstoner can you block Dustball? He is really a nuisance.
JustThinking–do you know much about these cottages’ history? I went to see it– and I’m fascinated! Its 3 floors, one apartment–total of approx 936 sq ft or so and $/sq. ft is 550 or something. There seem to be a lot of other ones like it around there– a very cutely redone one next door. That said, they are the TINIEST houses I’ve ever seen!!
The BIG problem with this tiny house is not actually the size (I’m talking about for one person, now) but the scarifying development that butts up against and around it. And the fact that there is no room on the lot. Brick walls are about 8 inches–I am serious– from windows./
The comments aren’t necessarily meant as a personal slam against the homeowners…more against the price of real estate in PS…to each his own regarding personal decorating taste…however, half a million is a bit steep!
So, Teddy.
Have you ever considered that someone may be able to bring out the potential of this property. This is happening all over Brooklyn. Areas and homes that may be under utilized are being restored and developed everyday.
It very well may be that where you live was probably “SHITTY” at one time too!!
JustThinking, I take your point. The thing is, though? That house is shitty.
Brownstone, will you please ban “dustball”
1)This a blog about Brooklyn, not Staten Island
2)It’s really irritating that “dustball” keeps hawking that house in every thread.
Go away “dustball”.
