House of the Day: 121-123 Fort Greene Place
It’s not often that two adjacent houses come up for sale at the same time, let alone ones that are identical twins, so this new listing at 121 and 123 Fort Greene Place in, you guessed it, Fort Greene is worth taking a look at. The houses don’t have stoops, but they do have plenty…
It’s not often that two adjacent houses come up for sale at the same time, let alone ones that are identical twins, so this new listing at 121 and 123 Fort Greene Place in, you guessed it, Fort Greene is worth taking a look at. The houses don’t have stoops, but they do have plenty of original detail. Judging from the pics, though, and the fact that both buildings have been under the same ownership for at least three decades, we’re betting that they’re going to need some work. While not a park block, the location is super convenient. The combined asking price of $2,724,000 doesn’t sound like a reach to us, but we suppose it’ll all turn on how much work needs to be done. If that number’s beyond your each, the two buildings are also for sale separately, though we hear that there’s been plenty of interest already.

Rob is not trying to sterotype an ethnic group here, he made a comment about the person’s taste. I don’t see anything else beyond that. In other words, I don’t see any “code” in his musings.
mm, $20 is cheap. Considering what I paid for my restoration hardware rods I need to take a look at ebay, thanks
I tied my sheers in knots when my kittens were young so they couldn’t climb up. Three different neighbors made remarks to me along the lines of, “What is the deal w/ those curtains?” I hadn’t been aware that anyone really paid close attention to my windows. Very glad I don’t live in one of those developments where window treatments are dictated.
benson- yet if this were a place in Bay Ridge or Bensonhurst and you perceived him as making fun of Italians, you would be all over his behind. We’ve all seen you do it- so why does rob get a pass from you here?

DeLepp, you can still find those on sale on Ebay. Those great 1920’s double swing rods with the Deco lightning bolts and arrows. Look in the antique section, under architectural and garden. I’ve bought them for clients for around $20 pair.

However, there are children amongst us who did not learn manners, and were never taught that it is pretty low class, and insensitive to make fun of those who perhaps did not have the same financial or social advantages that many of us had. Some of us were taught that when we saw things in other people’s houses, or being worn by other folk, that perhaps our elders taught us were not classy, or upscale or new, or signified that these people were even poorer than ourselves, that we kept our snobbish judgements to ourselves, and show some class of our own. Because when we do mouth off, we run the distinct risk of looking to be the least classy, the most superficial, and most deserving of ridicule, not the people with the knotted curtains.
yet it’s perfectly okay (and ive seen YOU do it too) to mock fedders buildings and anything that isnt 300 years old, right? :-/

This reminds me of my grandmother’s curtain rods. They were like lightning bolts which went around their bay window in their apt in union city. great deco style, wonder what happened to them.

I never heard of it being low class but we grew up with Venetian Blinds- which I can’t stand.
