House of the Day: Stuy Heights Gem
Another beauty from Stuyvesant Heights by way of Craigslist. The 4,300-square-foot two-family is configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. By all appearances (and the broker’s flowery prose) it sounds like this is one of those jaw-droppers, complete with original restored woodwork, wainscotting, and pier mirrors. The 1899 house also has a center…
Another beauty from Stuyvesant Heights by way of Craigslist. The 4,300-square-foot two-family is configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. By all appearances (and the broker’s flowery prose) it sounds like this is one of those jaw-droppers, complete with original restored woodwork, wainscotting, and pier mirrors. The 1899 house also has a center stair with an “intricate oak basket weave design” on the railings and restored golden oak lattice work overhead. Located on Bainbridge off Lewis Avenue, the house is only a couple of blocks from the A train. If all this is true, the asking price of $1,235,000 seems a little lower than we would have expected. What say ye?

No, actually, I’m the product of Nassau County, Long Island. But what do YOU know? And you’re right, I’ll stop procrastinating and waisting time with the likes of YOU.
Spend less time procrastinating NS and more time on your chore. But then again you seem the less motivated type. You are a product of BS
No Doubt CHP!… Happy to be here!!
Now if I can only get this kitchen Done!!!
NewStoner, having argued with this individual before, I can tell you that you are wasting your time. He is incapable of having an intelligent discourse, as he immediately resorts to childish name calling, and throwing the very insulting term “natives” around like a baseball bat in a small room. He has no point to make, besides his absurd opinion that BS, CH, etc are all slums, and that he is doing us all the great favor of driving that “fact” home, whilst buying up the hood in the name of ethnic cleansing and progress.
This post will, of course, turn his steely eye on me again, but that’s fine. He can dish it out, but he certainly can’t take it.
Meanwhile, NS, welcome to the hood, and enjoy your new home.
So I’m a Liberal White now??
Wow, I wonder what my mom would say to that. Clearly, you are disenfranchised with your own decisions and can find nothing better to do then try and rabble rouse. You are pretty insignificant when it comes to this discussion. Stay on what ever part of town you’re on. And the rest of the intelligent folks that wish to have wholesome debate over real estate, Brownstones, and prices can do just that.
I’m sure you’ve got another witty comeback.. I await with baited breath!
“If I’m paying $1.23M for a home it sure isn’t an attached old relic where it needs constant maintanence.”
A perfectly valid point–I can understand that not everyone loves old houses (and, truth be told, maintanence of an antique home CAN be a PITA), BUT why waste your time on a site that’s about “an unhealthy obsession with historic Brooklyn brownstones and the neighborhoods and lifestyles they define” if you don’t like brownstones?
See what I mean. You’re proving me right about typical liberal whites who have migrated to Brooklyn, acting like the natives
Ooooooooooo. I shudder at your wit.
Typical child-like response from a less educated BS native
