House of the Day: 282 DeKalb Avenue
Jerry Minsky’s got another gem of a listing in Clinton Hill.

Jerry Minsky’s got another gem of a listing in Clinton Hill. This Montrose Morris-designed Romanesque Revival house has tons of original charm as well as some newer touches like an island kitchen and recessed lighting. It’s hard to dispute the charm factor on this one, but it’s the price that’s going to be tougher for some people to take: At the asking price of $2,200,000, the 2,200-square-foot house is priced at $1,000 a foot. It’s fair to say that this is rather aggressive for the neighborhood. How much of a premium should the architectural lineage command?

I would fear that this place is extremely dark inside because there is a building right next to it. I could see $1.75 at max.
When the end comes, they’re coming for Jerry Minsky first. Then me.

Jerry makes more in a month than most of you do in a year.
As good as his hair “style”
He has a reputation for having listing for very expensive properties.
Thus the hatred by all the bitter fools here on this site.
Who is Jerry Minsky? Does he have a reputation for good quality projects?
Your airshaft is perfect for my wood!

PS peeps, more on the fucking-end-of-the-fucking financial system and all your charm-fucked houses to come. No end in site for this shit
It’s very narrow feeling inside. The parlor floor looks like it was redone – well with inlaid borders and all, but not original. The bathrooms are large, but need remodeling like the kitchen. The tiny basement rental is a mess, without any kitchen. The built-in bookshelves (added when) have a tacky cherry look. It does have windows on 3 sides so it does not feel dark, but there are no views. I’ve seen nicer airshafts than the backyard. There are beautiful elements, but it doen’t come close to being worth the price.
I like wood. In fact I’ve got some right now for you.
