These two beauties come to us from Crown Heights and Canarsie, respectively. It almost looks like they could have been designed by the same person. Love those doors and peaked roofs!

  1. “hating on these is getting stale and truth be told i’ve seen some townhouses and brownstone propers that are just as and if not more fuggo.”

    Rob, I suppose it’s cathartic in these tough times and actually can give posters a chance to suggest ways to enhance these places if one so desires, as 7foundry did above. Further, maybe the brokers will actually see these comments and find ways to improve their listings. You can always skip over it, just like most people seem to do with the Inside Third and Bond feature. 🙂

  2. The pragmatic, “it’s there now, how could it be made better” is great approach/way to think about things at this stage in the game for a given property.

    As an individual buyer for one of the units, it’d be hard to do anything. One nice door and better handrails would be good if you could avoid seeing the bigger picture. You’d have to convince the other 2 new owners to replace their doors and had rails too. Covering the meters could be cheap enough to do by yourself, and add a great deal of visual value (ironically by subtracting an eyesore).

    hmmm

  3. i dont get the point of this thread every friday. it literally is the same comments everytime. and it’s the same type of house posted everytime. i mean we get it. these houses are too low-brow for your classical high tastes. fine. maybe show a different kind of horror show once in a while then? mix it up a bit. hating on these is getting stale and truth be told i’ve seen some townhouses and brownstone propers that are just as and if not more fuggo.
