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?

first ppl swore that onehansonplace was minsky’s blog and now they think that brownstoner is minsky’s blog. which one is it? i don’t think minsky has time to update two blogs. maybe just one.
anyhow, ppl love to hate those that are great/good.
as for you, 4:13, no skin off minsky’s back. he’s going to sell it regardles of whether you go and look at it or not, for he is the fort greene don…lol..
you’re an idiot for brains, 4:13.
I’m looking in Fort Greene, and I’ve made it a point to NOT see any listings that are carried by Minsky. If I miss out on a great house, I don’t care.
The problem with Minsky isn’t just his pricing – it’s his personality. He’s too busy talking about himself to tell you about the property. If he personally turns off buyers who don’t want to deal with him, then he is doing his clients a disservice.
Mr. B’s ‘impeccable’ taste is slipping. This one is a clunker.

The term “beaucoup de recessed lighting” is one that Mr. Brownstoner has used in the past to express his dislike of certain modern renovations that were not connected to Minsky, so I felt that it was appropriate to use the term twice in one post. Plus it is just so pleasing how it rolls off the old key board. Beaucoup de recessed lighting. You try.
Dark, dank, ugly recessed lighting, no natural sunlight, ever.
