Condos of the Day: 24 Remsen Street
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.

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.

How could this thread veer off in this direction without me.
I am late to the party.
Cattyshack….hhhmmmm!
I hear you 11217, it’s A LOT of money to tip all the people that are suggested that one tip each year. I’d be broke if I kept up with that!
(But I think sam was trying to being humorous…)
sam, you forgot d)
d) don’t want to talk about the Knicks every time you get in an elevator.
“b) you are too cheap to give out holiday tips”
Not only would I find this comment tasteless in a “normal” economy, but I find it downright ignorant to say in this one.
Not everyone has an extra couple hundred or thousand dollars lying around to tip people for doing their (well paid) job.
Sensitivity, much?
Rob, easy as a quick search on “Cattyshack”

That’s an excellent summation sam, thank you.
gee, DIBS, I can’t imagine.
[Cattyshack is a lesbian bar! LOL, Cattyshack…now I get it. Duh.]
oh i’d love to dig up that thread.. any clue how to find it?
actually has anyone moved in there yet? all the floors look completely empty, but it seems like two cars in the neighborhood have taken it upon themselves to use those two private spaces. i guess it’s not hurting anyone.

So doormen are not great if you:
a) deal drugs or engage in other activities that you would prefer no one know about
b) you are too cheap to give out holiday tips
c) you like to mug people in their lobbies
otherwise, I think having a doorman really beats not having one.
