Ditmas Park Tudor With Wainscoting, Wood Burning Fireplace Asks $2.15 MillionWow! Cool! Way to chase down the answer.
The Insider: Boerum Hill Carriage House Reno Handily Maximizes Tiny SpaceReally nice! Based on the shag carpeting on the stairs and the dated style of the drapes, the bathrooms and kitchen are probably in decent shape but in need of upgrading (would love to find some avocado green 70s style appliances though!) Only other thing to note is that street has a fair amount of two-way traffic.
Ditmas Park Tudor With Wainscoting, Wood Burning Fireplace Asks $2.15 MillionThe statement that "the proposed buildings in some areas over the railyard would be smaller, opening up more areas for open space" is misleading. The buildings' <em>footprints</em> would be smaller, but the towers would be far larger in volume (as well as taller).
