Flatbush

First floor details are really nice (excluding the "dinette/sitting room"). Gonna need some money invested in the kitchen and bathrooms. But I really like the throwback floor tile and wall tile in the bathroom. That custom rug around the pool table is really something! Was that a common design back in the day?

Such a jarring mismatch of taste: the exterior cladding, the hardscaping, the choice of shrubbery versus the interior. Was this a couple who decided to divide domains? "Honey, you can do whatever you want outside, but I'm preserving the character inside." Anyway, how much to remove permastone? And while you're at it, re-open the wraparound porch. There's plenty of space inside; no need to add extra square footage by enclosing one the best features.

"South Midwood" next.

Great house for someone who had the money to renovate - someone smarter than me can calculate interest rates and reno costs and compare to the price other houses in the neighborhood are asking that are already move-in ready. I would open the porch back up - less interior space to heat and more room to enjoy the leafy street vibe with neighbors etc.
