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…

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.

Can someone more knowledgable then me confirm this: I thought that the yards would remain to some extent, and that the new structure would be on top of the yards. My understanding was that a big part of the “cost reduction” to the developer was due to the fact that they are not just building on the ground here, but have to create a huge platform that can carry the buildings. This has a significant cost implication.
“And I’d rather not have the bulk of the deliveries at night.”
Oh, because I live a block and a half away and enjoy sleeping.
And I realize the LIRR isn’t going anywhere, but the yard tracks will be gone and I don’t see how materials can be practically moved from the trains to the construction site.
32 posts on a 2 million dollar house, i had to come in and take a look.
ahhh, now it makes sense, atlantic yards drama.
I just drove down Pacific and it was the usual afternoon bottleneck created by everyone trying to escape through the side streets. AY will only make it worse. Don’t tell my Mom I was driving again, ok?
Anonymous 2:34 PM. I think the impact statement indicated the arena would be utlized 250 days a year. That’s roughly 5 days a week.
‘straight up railroad style setup’? huh?
Looks pretty darned good to me.
Don’t expect will sell for much under under this price. It is 3600 sq ft..tending on larger size for most houses.
PS – this is more than .5 mile from arena site.

Says who? The LIRR isn’t departing.
In fact, one of the great projects now under discussion involves building a train tunnel from the AY site to the World Trade Center Site and on to New Jersey.
A train tunnel covering that span would allow the first direct access to the Wall Street area for the residents of Long Island and New Jersey.
Today, there is no direct, single-seat method of getting to Wall Street from Long Island, CT or NJ by train.

Why not? It’s pretty dead around there in the middle of the night. I’ve walked it enough to know. In fact, in the wee hours of the morning, you could walk in the street without much danger of getting hit. Surprisingly, there’s not much traffic. Moreover, once the perimeter properties are vacated, few people will live close enough to hear the late-night deliveries.
…I take back comparing the AY to battery park city…..after checking the facts it turns out that AY site is less than 1/4 the size of BPC…perhaps a better comparison would be with the Eastern Bloc style housing on 66th and Amsterdam Av….thanks for pointing out my error.
While using the existing tracks to ship materials is an interesting thought, once the yards are really theirs, they will be ripped up and trucked out. I imagine the first 5 years will be the busiest with steady flow of 18-wheelers. And I’d rather not have the bulk of the deliveries at night.
Also 41 home games is true, but add 41 concerts, 41 college basketball games, 41 nights of the circus, etc. There is guaranteed to be a steady flow of entertainment.
