Hey, Something Sold!
Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through…
Here’s a refreshing ray of light in what has been a pretty bleak few months of real estate news: Apartment #3 at 210 Berkeley Place in Park Slope, which came onto the market for $599,000 in late September just days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, closed just before Christmas for $592,500; the two-bedroom floor-through has a maintenance of $525. (Floorplan on the jump.) In fact, it looks like it went into contract in less than three weeks on the market. Any other anecdotes like this?

Rob, check out the great meadow in Prospect Park. If you lay down on the grass and squint your eyes a little bit you might think you’re in an eternal eden and not New York City. (If a frisbee doesn’t hit your head.) I like to imagine it was designed in the style of Capability Brown, the 18th-century English landscape designer.
I wouldn’t pay any amount of money to live in this place. Give me a true one bedroom with a centered fireplace and a proper entryway for one person OR a true Victorian two-bedroom with a dining room for a family..at any price. But not this hideous monstrosity (so very typical in New York) that is pretending to be something it isn’t. I don’t care where it’s located.
Which brings me to…cw, we’re looking for the same thing. Seen anything decent in your price range? We’ve seen wreck after wreck and have decided to buy the most picturesque wreck of the bunch.
It’s so weird to be able to afford anything but not be able to find a place that isn’t a tear-down.
that’s a nice picture of biff. the white tam-o-shanter is particularly fey,
but he is spread legged and handling his slender club with confidence.
I found Biff on vacation.

All of those sam.
dave, you mean the bright green pants with little wales or frogs embroidered on them? Or the orange and blue plaid knickers?
good point shillstoner. I will take my designer neighborhood in live in a jewelry box over the knock off brand and live in a palace…
sam…by definition people on golf courses are freaks. Especially the ones wearing what I refer to as “asshole pants.”
I fall into the boring dull artsy type with a freakish streak 🙂
Do I dare post the lyrics to Shaggy’s Freaky Girl.
I wonder if the people that bought this apt. are artsy or wall streety or freaky.
