The silver lining in water damage suffered by this early 20th century freestanding house was the chance it gave the homeowners, in exchange for a year of displacement, to realize changes they had long contemplated.
Sick house! Porch is great with that octagon bump out. Backyard is gigantic - possibly the biggest in the area if you exclude the few Victorians with double lots. So nice to have a place with this much original detail intact that is in move-in condition. Would love to have pics of the loft space and the basement.
Ditmas Park Colonial With Wraparound Porch, Garage Asks $2.995 MillionA beautiful house, inside and out (even though I'm not a fan of blue walls). The exception is the kitchen, which is so poorly designed. The quicker the end of the "island" trend, the happier I'll be. And the same goes for subway tiles!

The Insider: Ditmas Park Charmer Gets Gentle Reno With Scandinavian TouchIt's incredible to see the old photos of what this house used to look like, and sad to see what it's become. I walk by it every day, and it is a total dump. I'd usually never condone tearing down an old Victorian, but I think this one is unsalvageable - it's an eyesore for the neighborhood (and also unsafe) and I'm looking forward to seeing it replaced by something that adds value to the area rather than detracts from it, which is what the current version of this home does.
