  1. “You’re supposed to pick up on a subtle signal that they might be interested in talking to you and then you walk over to them and offer to buy a drink.”

    i hate that shit. so lame

  2. Millal is finishing up the brownstoning on the steps. It looks like he will be finished with that today. I came home last night and a huge blue plastic tarp covered the entire front of my house/steps covering the freshly brownstoned steps and landing. I guess to protect it from rain. Tenants are walking through my apartment at all hours. Woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep last night –was watching TV, laying on my couch at 1:45 am when one tenant tiptoed through my living room. There is gritty dust everywhere too. Gross. Can’t wait till he is done.

  3. IJ – They’re not supposed to walk up to you and ask you to buy them a drink. You’re supposed to pick up on a subtle signal that they might be interested in talking to you and then you walk over to them and offer to buy a drink. You probably just don’t pick up on the subtle signals.

  4. Yes, I would expect more than $3.2mm 11217. I guess $3.5-$3.6mm or so. It’s an amazing house on an amazing block but I thought they were pushing a bit with that ask. The matching house next door is not in as good shape.
    Talking of interesting houses in the area, what’s your guess for 946 President? That is stunning from the outside, mixed (but renovated) inside. Only material downside I can see is that it backs on to that large apartment building on PPW that may block the light.

    Not that I am in the market for $3.5mm+ houses (yet!) but one can dream….

  5. “I’m surprised I never see Cobbble and the other BoCoCa lushes there”

    I actually don’t hang out in bars very often, except with PLUSAs. But I like Jolie, a lot, we just don’t go there very often lately since I cook at home.

  6. That is interesting etson. Thanks for passing the info along.

    That was a HOTD here. Widget pegged it at 3.2 million.

    Given that it was only on the market a few months, I’d say it got closer to ask than that. Perhaps much closer.
