Real Estate

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.

Charles Gavan Reynolds was my Great Grand Uncle. He did a great job! His father was another builder in Bedford Sty, Michael Joseph John Reynolds (my GG Grandfather). He actually died on the job! This Brownstone is beautiful. No need to renovate! It's got to be the best in Brooklyn. My grandparents (Gertrude (Nunan) & Dr. Frank B. Ring) and great grandparents (Joseph and Philomena (Reynolds) Nunan) lived on 94 Fenimore Street most of their lives. My grandmother Gertrude was born on Bainbridge in Bedford Sty. I love the Brownstoner Newsletter and love looking at all the places in Brooklyn for sale.

that crown heights house is beyond beautiful

Although I voted no on 2, 3, and 4, as did most people I know, I had mixed feelings about them. I hope this works out well and actually results in more affordable housing.
