I know that Bushwick house. Great location, ridiculous boom price. $460,000 for a 1,500-sf one family? Geez, is a parking space really worth $160,000?
I think the reference to “no-house-should-cost-more-than-this-amount-that-I-deem-reasonable camp” is the funny part!
OK. Even I have to say that $530 for that top of a Pez dispenser is funny.
This might be the meanest thing I’ve written on here.
Just saying “funny” not stupid or anything the no-house-should-cost-more-than-this-amount-that-I-deem-reasonable camp might say.

hmmm -very intersting and you are probably right!
The FSBO website on the Kensington place was nicely done as well. I would have like to see the bathroom, but you can’t have everything. Listings like that in that price range should make COTD more often. I think it’s more in line with what most folks can afford/want to see.
love that kensington flr plan – very very little wasted sq ft via hallways
I love Kensington. There are good deals like that all around. My building has some from time to time. If any of your regulars are interested, I can keep you updated.
Snappy, that Kensington place was sweet. New Ikea kitchen, renovated bathroom, refinished floors, and Elfa shelving systems in every closet. Oh, and a terrace to boot.
gemini, I heard that the Charette folks are doing a brick house on that block of 14th. That may be the house. If Charette bought it, the house probably never hit the market. They will do a decent reno with nice farmhouse-chic finishes and try to flip. They did 303 13th and 237 14th. You will want to do teh nosy neighbor thing and see it when it is done, but chances are the price will be too high.
