I agree with CHMomma that they are not very kid friendly, and the funny thing is that they have toys on their shelves. However, they do have a kick-ass egg and avocado sandwich, and their coffee, though overpriced, I think is excellent. I just barge on in with my two kids, place my order, and ignore the unpleasant woman behind the counter.
I can't believe that no one has mentioned that Jerry Minsky is selling this place. I think it is gorgeous and, certainly, a deal for this kind of square footage. I'm sure it will sell quickly.

Honestly, I am shocked that no one is really talking about the Kenmore Terrace place. It looks beautiful, and it's a huge home (3000 sq ft). We've really only looked in prime Ditmas Park, West Midwood, Beverly Square West, and Prospect Park South, but this home seems like a bargain for the price, and it's just one block away from Ocean Ave.

We saw this house over the summer the same day as we saw a fully renovated home on Marlborough (that incidentally sold in a week). This house was not bad, and it is located just north of Cortelyou, which is really nice. I agree with the previous poster that the renovating was not that high-end. Still, it was clean, with new floors, new paint, and new bathrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor. But there does remain a lot to do. They had a half-finished kitchen, which was very small at that, and no bathroom on the first floor. The entire front porch needs to be fixed (the wood is chipping away), and the garage in the back needs to be completely replaced. Additionally, the backyard needs work, in that the buyer would most likely want to put some kind of porch/balcony there. And who knows about the roof? Unfortunately for the sellers, in this market and given how much work still has to be done, I'd be shocked if they got even a million for it.

I saw this place last Sunday for their first open house. It has a nice layout and sizable rooms. The apartment does need new bathrooms and kitchen, but it has a lot of potential. The only real drag is that two of the bedrooms are on Ocean Parkway, and this is a first floor apartment. It's quite loud.
