House of the Day: 351 Pacific Street
This 20-footer in Boerum Hill should spark a lot of interest at $2,095,000, we suspect, unless Boerum Hill has lost its hotness and someone forgot to tell us. The house has lots of old deets (including five marble fireplaces and two pier mirrors). There are some slightly non-traditional touches that work quite nicely, too, namely…
This 20-footer in Boerum Hill should spark a lot of interest at $2,095,000, we suspect, unless Boerum Hill has lost its hotness and someone forgot to tell us. The house has lots of old deets (including five marble fireplaces and two pier mirrors). There are some slightly non-traditional touches that work quite nicely, too, namely the skylight and splash of exposed brick in the lofty top-floor studio space. As for the price, it falls right between the $2.27 million that 90 Dean Street (one block west) sold for in November and the $1.965 million that 208 Dean Street (one block east) sold for in January. The first open house will be on Sunday from 12 to 2. Should be a crowded one.

This whole conversation is exhausting me. Ratnerville sucks, and everyone with half an ounce of a brain knows it. Case closed.
Meanwhile, the house on Pacific is great, and will probably go for asking. Two just sold down the block in same range, both within a week’s time.
I agree with anonymous 7:35 and 9:14. Everything with AY is goin to turn out just fine. Also tired with all these naysayers about Bush and Irag. That part of the world’s neighborhood too will be calm and democratized before you know it. We can trust those in charge to make really good decisions about things for us. They’re not influenced by slef-interest or money.
brooklyn doesn’t seem as desirable as it did 5 years ago…from what i can see, it’s becoming a mess. AY, the architecturally nauseating buildings, the big box stores, proximity to public housing….yummy. i’m glad i got out of the borough (although i did love the heights) before the apocalypse.
Thank god there is a “fury” or overall disgust for the blatant political corruption that this development has benfited from. You are paid for, or blind if you don’t cringe at the thievery. The polticos should be ashamed.
The anti-AY folks are so red in the face with fury…It just comes across in these posts so clearly. And what a bunch of crap. I say again: Manhattan is just across the river…It’s managed to absorb its density and entertainment venues pretty well. It’s time for Brooklyn to grow up, too — literally and figuratively. You spoiled brats who don’t want things to change now that you’re here should remember the place was different before you arrived. (Yes, it’s true; Brooklyn actually had a history before you came on the scene.) It was fine for you to yuppifie the place, now you want the rules to change. Sorry. You lose.
Brownstoner, stop schilling for DDDB. You’re becoming DG’s little beyeatch. You’ve allowed the NIMBY crazies to take over this website and use it as their personal/exclusive platform to proliferate lies and spread unfounded fears in the community. Every single thread turns into some tirade against Ratner or AY. I’m so sick and tired of it all.
For better or worse AY is going to be built. If our beloved Brooklyn is going to turn into shit in a hole then simply LEAVE! I’m sick and tired of your bellyaching and constant whining. Posting bullshit on this blog does nothing to help your cause. It just pisses off us moderates and further isolates you from the majority.
People this is New York City. If you get into a car during rush hour there will be traffic. Curse at the guy in the SUV all you want for not getting out of your way, it won’t change. It is the price you pay to not have to eat at olive garden, be happy no one is shoving all the crappy breadsticks they can make down your throat.
Jesus Christ! More pathetic scare tactics?!?! Can’t you guys give it a rest?
The real congestion will be created by the 10,000 new residents that are being added to the neighborhood. And if the rule holds true that everyone who lives in Brooklyn owns a car, then that equals 10,000 new cars looking to ‘live’ on free parking in the neighborhood.
