House of the Day: 282 DeKalb Avenue
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.

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 like the TheWhat as well. but i like BrooklynLove even better. Love Brooklyn people. hate the game, not the boro.
TheWhat is good for this website given all the clicks he brings. The controvery brings attention to this blog and more advertising.
I enjoy The What’s comments. He makes some good points, even if he gets too excited doing so. Stop complaining–just cover your eyes if it offends you.
you mean green-nosing.
To 11:30–your flagrant brown nosing is so pathetic. Have some self-respect!
Listening to your readership? Yeah, I believe there are an equal amount of comments for and against The What. So what’s your point?
Enough about Jerry Minsky, already–back to the house, por favor?
It has great, irreplaceable carved wood detail, and anybody too stupid to grasp the value of that doesn’t have much real-estate glory ahead of ’em…. poor things.
But: It’s right on Dekalb, just down the block from a bus stop, so it will be loud.
Hate new, diagonal wood floors in a brownstone.
And it’s inexcusable not to have pictures of the kitchen.
On the subject of Brownstoner.com’s devotion to Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill, Ft. Greene, Cobble HIll, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, etc., maybe it’s because that is where the brownstones ARE in Brooklyn?
Dear 9:03 ,
I am sorry that you felt that you were discriminated against by Jerry. Jerry does NOT discriminate against ANYONE because of the color of their skin. I am the broker that works with him and I am an African American woman. I can tell you, that Jerry only discriminates against someone without the GREEEN to pay for his incredible listings!
Yes, it is his blog. Absolutely. And he can do what he wants. But there is something to be said for listening to your readership too.
