House of the Day: 190 Lincoln Road
Here’s some classic PLG-y goodness for ya. The one-family house at 190 Lincoln Road is an estate sale asking $995,000. We’re loving what we see—parquet floors, pier mirror, original paneling—but, given the work that’s going to have to go into the bathrooms and kitchen alone (and the fact that it’s only three stories, including the…
Here’s some classic PLG-y goodness for ya. The one-family house at 190 Lincoln Road is an estate sale asking $995,000. We’re loving what we see—parquet floors, pier mirror, original paneling—but, given the work that’s going to have to go into the bathrooms and kitchen alone (and the fact that it’s only three stories, including the basement), we’re a little skeptical about the price. Six months ago, maybe. Now, seems like a stretch. What do the locals think?

I think having people with an urban sensibilty is good for the largest city in the u.s.
Not a bunch of suburban twits, who hole themselves up in their homes, drive their minivans to fairway, testing out the starbucks on both corners of the same street while taking car services home past dark to one of the most bucolic urban neighborhoods in the country.
2:20 = 2:10. It’s talking to itself again…
Wrong, 2:10pm. What did I say that was negative in my post at 2:03? That PLG is a family oriented neighborhood? Heavens forbid!
Normally we probably would be in the suburbs, 2:13. Which illustrates exactly who is buying in PLG. As well as who all the new home buyers in Brooklyn are. People with higher expectations, making improvements and bringing the borough back from where it slipped to, in the 70’s. I thought everyone thought this was a good thing for the market.
2:13 = 2:10
“We did that when we lived in Park Slope too, though.”
Yikes.
I think you belong in suburbia…
2:03 = 1:57 = 1:50
Actually, Bob, someone on the Risky Business thread had inquired about Lincoln. I think that’s where it started.
Oh right, like 1:54 and 1:57 aren’t the same person. It talks to itself again. And this thread had turned out so nicely up until today! Oh well.
I haven’t spent much time in Boerum Hill, don’t know anything about it. I know some have talked about one specific bad block in BH, but I didn’t think it was generally unsafe. Seems unkind to make that broad sweeping statement.
Any block in Lefferts Manor or nearby is fine. The only thing I’d say is it’s such a family oriented neighborhood, that people are home and inside later at night so if you come home late, the sidewalks are empty and unpopulated. Which I always hate, whether there’s something to worry about or not. So we take the car service home from Manhattan if it’s later than 10pm. We did that when we lived in Park Slope too, though.
Congratulations 1:54–you finally got your inane comment on your intended thread, after stupidly placing it TWICE on today’s “Risky Business” thread. Keep going like this and you may some day be able to walk and chew gum at the same time!
