I went to open houses in Prospect Lefferts Gardens in the cold and rain, and everywhere I went, saw many filled sign-in sheets. Quite a reversal from a year ago.
168 Midwood street: beautiful modern renovation, they pulled off a tasteful parlor kitchen, which isn’t so easy. Overall a lovely house on a lovely block.
141 Lefferts avenue: a bit too Home Depot, but fine house with fine bones. I was turned off by the chain link fences and plastic awnings.
212 Midwood street: another beautiful renovation, with a great staging (husband and I wondered, do real people really buy new furniture to sell a house?); anyway, I really liked the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. The only negative is that the house is almost at the end of the block, kitty corner to the fire station.
207 Lincoln road: more high Victorian details, plaster details everywhere, and the original marble sinks in the pass-through closets, great big deck off the back parlor. Overall not decorated to my taste, but excellent details.
I fell in love with the next block of Lincoln road, which has detached houses, one block away to an express subway stop.
I’m shamefully at work. No excuses, just discretionary paid days not used.
Re: NYTimes on sellers remorse
The upcoming HOLDER’S REMORSE will be similar in magnitude but opposite in sign. But missing the sell-off will feel worse than missing the run-up as having love and lost it is worse than never having love at all.
Schlitz- I remember my dad having those in the fridge back in the day.
Great story Benson.
Liverwurst- yum. I’m not supposed to have that now (listeria concerns- blah, blah, blah). What I do have for lunch today is last nights sausage and peppers leftovers. I made a huge batch and today I’m going to slice them up and make a pot of sauce. I’ll keep one out for a sandwich though.
May 2008, that is
Wow – 168 Midwood was a HOTD last May:

LOL, Benson. Almost every time Dibs et al talk about finance there’re terms I don’t know – I’m abysmally ignorant about a lot of stuff.
bored….
