House of the Day: 58 6th Avenue

Brownstoner

What happens when a house that may have "no soul" is located in a neighborhood that's fighting to save its own?

Character matters (as does the Atlantic Yards Effect).

...the new owner put it back on the market for $1,850,000 last July, where it sat for eight months. In early March the price was cut to $1,795,000 and in late March again to $1,695,000. More than a proximity to Ratner-land, the problem in our opinion is the renovation. It's got a bad case of personality disorder. As we've harped on again and again, a renovation that goes half-way to modern is likely to result in a house with no soul.
