Condos of the Day: 24 Remsen Street
They didn’t cut any corners on this one.

They didn’t cut any corners on this one. After a lengthy renovation, the brick-and-limestone mansion at 24 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights has re-emerged as a four-unit condominium that, from the looks of it, aimed to preserve as much architectural detail while giving the 1896 residence a lighter, slightly more modern feel. It looks very well done to us. Another sweetener: The building is also a stone’s throw from the promenade. Quality has a price though: All four units are priced well north of $1,000 a foot. The third-floor floor-through, for example, clocks in at 1,441 square feet and has a maintenance of $1,103 and an asking price of $1,745,000. The development’s web site is here and there’s an open house by appointment on Sunday.

“Biff, you really should use the public transit system.
Cabs use gas, you know :)”
I know you’re teasing but it’s very rare that I do take a cab. I cycle or walk to and from work (subway in very inclement weather) and try to take the bus / train / walk as much as possible on the weekend. Only take cabs if very late and I’m a bit tipsy after being out (which, unfortunately, doesn’t happen as often as I’d like) 😉
“Biff….send lisa your email addy”
huh, why?
rob…from the sound of some of your posts I think they might tip you when you move out!!! LOL
wait we’re supposed to tip when we move out of a place!? is that goodbye money or something!?!
*rob*
How much would you tip a “yellow cab” for good service????
I certainly tip restaurant and bar staff where I am sitting for some service..and usually 20% as long as there’s nothing wrong. I agree that takeout jars are a joke.
But these people in your building are the ones you see every single day. I tipped the handymen and the service elevator operator, neither of which I may even see on a weekly basis $20. The doormen and the super all got $100 each and then I tipped them all more than that when I sold the place.
$100 at Christmas equates to 27 cents a day. Now I feel bad.
oh snap. BRG just called you out biff

Biff, you really should use the public transit system.

how about a 10 dollar donation in their name to the Save The Manatees Foundation? (ooooh sam, there’s nothing hotter than a crisp fresh new 100 dollar bill)!
