What’s with the PS house bed? Two twins, pushed together, does not a king make.
Holy smokes, dekalb. For a moment, you made me wish I had chosen to be rich instead of happy. damn.
Brokers today seem awfully familiar.
Just throw some bright colored furnishings into the Dekalb place, it’ll cheer it right up.
Montrose, shouldn’t they give it to you? By rights and all?
The block the Putnam Avenue house on isn’t sketchy safety-wise – it’s only 3.5 blocks to Saraghina restaurant on Lewis – but the block is home to the huge Bed-Stuy Armory, which takes up almost all of the south side of this block & houses the men’s homeless shelter. I live 2 blocks from there and have never felt bothered by the men’s shelter – the guys pretty much stay indoors, or congregate right in front of the shelter – but a lot of the houses closer to the Marcus Garvey end of the block aren’t kept up so well if you judge from their exteriors. In my view, an aesthetic issue, not a sketchyness issue.
“I may be alone in this, but I find the interior the Dekalb house to be oppressive.”
You aren’t.
(alone in that opinion, that is)
Whoever owns the Dekalb house better have good homeowners insurance since s/he neglects to shovel the sidewalk when it snows. Grrr.

One question that I have that seems to come up often in discussing these multi-million dolar homes- how many people are renting out their garden levels. Seems to me if I had $3 million to plunk down on a house, I wouldn’t want the hassle of a renter.
…
This comes up often, seemingly with any house over $2M.
Judging by the responses, I would say a fair number of those buyers like and/or require the additional $400K (depending on the area and rental income, as much as $600K) mortgage that can be afforded. Even the rich a finite amount of resources.
That said, my not-rich-by-any-means relatives often elected not to rent out the garden of their Pierrepont brownstone from 1986-96; instead, they used it as guest residence for frequent visits from relatives and friends. Sometimes they would rent it out below market to students for a term or two.
Until last summer I lived on the same block for more than eight years, and almost all of my $2M home neighbors had renters (old pioneers and newbies alike).
“That “Dream Limestone” in Park Slope doesn’t have such a dream kitchen.”
Too funny. It’s a great house in a great location though, and it’s much easier to redo a kitchen the way you like than it is to replicate the house and location. The price is a little funny too, but they can always lower it.
