Bidding War at 538 16th Street?
The wind hasn’t gone completely out of Brooklyn market’s sails, at least if one house in Windsor Terrace is any guide. According to a tipster, 25 families came to see the 1,800-square-foot house at 538 16th Street this weekend and six of them ended up making offers—at or above the $999,999 asking price. Granted this…
The wind hasn’t gone completely out of Brooklyn market’s sails, at least if one house in Windsor Terrace is any guide. According to a tipster, 25 families came to see the 1,800-square-foot house at 538 16th Street this weekend and six of them ended up making offers—at or above the $999,999 asking price. Granted this price seems low to start with for a house with some charm just a block from Prospect Park but, then again, it also looks to be in need of some updating. So what do you think: An aberration or a sign that the pessimists have it all wrong?

This place would look amazing all done up in a modern vintage look!
Congrats to the highest bidder!
Archie Bunker reno? Oh let me get this right. All you useless hipster folk would certainly do fabulous West Elm chic here right? You are all just too cool. Brooklyn was made from homes like this like Two Toms restaurant on tird and tird. Brownstoner go back to the city and take your diaper disciples with ya!
4:50, I hate to tell you that I have some black female friends, in fact I grew up in the ‘hood. So I walk down the street on occasion with attractive Black women, altho I am not holding hands or anything. And if you walk down the street in a nabe with a lotta Black males, you will be challenged. Makes you wanna pull a nine on some of these assholes.
That’s just how it is.
To be fair, I’m not sure that the nice ethnic whites in WT appreciate it any more than the boyz in the hood.
4:50:
The comments were made as we walked down the street together and then oftentimes to her while she was alone by the people who knew we were together.
Why would you be defending people making nasty comments to us? I don’t understand that. I never did a thing to anyone other than try to be neighborly.
Why can’t you accept that we didn’t feel comfortable there?
Are you THAT blind to the realities of your own neighborhood.
Your last sentence is really disturbing. So you are saying we DESERVED (or I deserved) to be verbally attacked?
“My girlfriend was black and I’m white.
They don’t take to that too well in Bed Stuy.”
You’re so full of it. There are lots of interracial couples in Bed Stuy. I’m sure some jerks made stupid comments, but that can happen anywhere. Most Bed Stuy people wouldn’t give a crap abouit you and your girlfriend. The comments probably had something to do with you personally.
4:46 is a horse’s ass.
because most people who live in the suburbs are dead inside.
I purchased my house in Fort Greene when people were reading crime stats and saying it was the worst neighborhood in Brooklyn. I sold it for 300% profit to a young couple who was afraid to raise their kids in the suburbs. How did the suburbs become more of a scary place than the hood?
Thank you for some much needed logic, 4:31.
Anyone who claims Bed Stuy is safer than Windsor Terrace (as a whole) has not ever been to either neighborhood, and I’m guessing has a lot riding on their home purchase in Bed Stuy.
Otherwise, the comment is absurd.
