Would love to know the wall colors. Also where is that living room rug from?
The Insider: High-Gloss Yellow Kitchen Spreads Cheer in Fort Greene AerieThose prices in this market? Actually, those prices in ANY market! I don't care how much space or what location, no house is worth $7 million. And ain't but a handful of people who would be able to afford that anyway. Which is, I think, precisely the point, right?
A Cobble Hill Carriage House and More to See, Starting at $1.75 MillionLooking at the kitchen and thinking about your comment. I think the design of the kitchen is a victim of the compromise of having a powder room on the first floor. That loss of square footage and three egresses combine to make a tough design. The island I think is less a trendy choice and more an attempt to create more counter space.
Ditmas Park West Tudor With Cobblestone Mantels, Garage Asks $2.995 MillionObviously its fabulous. Love the details in the moldings, the neat little built-in cabinets, the odd nooks, that great little office/sun room. The octagonal dining room is super fun and I'm glad they went with the round dining table. it's not optimized for family life, at least not a family with small kids (though I'm sure teenagers would love having the room above the garage with it's own staircase), but I could see it being a home for a couple that likes to host frequent guests in comfort. Final note, I wish the yard were more easily accessible from the kitchen, but from what I see one has to exit onto the sidewalk in order to re-enter the yard.
