House of the Day: 414 Vanderbilt Avenue
This one’s gonna be a tough sell. This four-story brownstone at 414 Vanderbilt Avenue is unfortunately an example of the seller (and recent renovator) being out of touch with the market. Not on price (though that’s clearly too high) but in terms of aesthetics. Let’s face it, most people looking to drop $2,490,000 on a…
This one’s gonna be a tough sell. This four-story brownstone at 414 Vanderbilt Avenue is unfortunately an example of the seller (and recent renovator) being out of touch with the market. Not on price (though that’s clearly too high) but in terms of aesthetics. Let’s face it, most people looking to drop $2,490,000 on a house in Fort Greene want some historic charm, or if they want modern, they want something truly modern (in a modernist sense). They don’t want a McMansion chic. And that, unfortunately, is what this place is. We foresee some big price reductions on this one.

The black toilet would take it to a whole new level. Are you able to clean them less frequently?
Harsh but fair on the Mcmansion comment. I wish I could see if the toilet is black.
Each of those photos is nicely staged. I’m particularly impressed by the number of shampoo & conditioner bottles around the spa. Kitchen need some counter cleaning too.
I would only make an offer on the Mill Basin home if the y included all furnishings including the white tiger in the bathroom.
When I saw the black in the bathroom and the salmon colored chairs in the living room I remembered seeing this. Now it’s no McMansion but I think you’ll enjoy it…

20% chop and hope for the best.
OK..It’s still early and I think we’re done with this one. Townhouse lady, you got any new listings you want to show us???!!!!
not mcmansion, just grandma. the issues are largely cosmetic, and this is a perfect candidate for a good staging or that show where $2000 investment brings you $30K higher price (or $30K less in reduction, whatever). replace/remove the cheesiest furnishings, tone down the curtains and replace that hideous border tile in the bathroom and you’re 3/4 of the way there.
I was wondering who was going to catch that spelling error and what they’d do with it GHB
