House of the Day: 242 Washington Avenue
We had already started to write up 242 Washington Avenue as a House of the Day when it hit us: We’ve been inside that house. We were guests at a lovely al fresco dinner party last summer. In fact, Mrs. B had just been talking about how the owner’s duplex would make a good interiors…

We had already started to write up 242 Washington Avenue as a House of the Day when it hit us: We’ve been inside that house. We were guests at a lovely al fresco dinner party last summer. In fact, Mrs. B had just been talking about how the owner’s duplex would make a good interiors post. Given the conflict of interest, we’ll steer clear of opining about the $2,300,000 asking price, and just say that the owner’s duplex of this five-story, 5,500-square-foot house is really nicely done in a simple but elegant manner. We’ve never seen the upper three rental units, but judging from the photos they’re not as nice. They do, as the listing points out, generate over $50,000 a year in income. This’ll be an interesting one to watch.

Quite a few pre-foreclosures in Park Slope too. Scary.
10:08:
As per a poster on yesterday’s foreclosure thread (and realtytrac.com): 549 Henry Street, 136 Degraw Street, and 132 Degraw are in pre-foreclosure. I did a search and there are actually LOTS more in pre-foreclosure, including apartments.
322 President Street is in the last stage of foreclosure and is now bank-owned. Tell me: how is it that one house on the block is in foreclosure and another one that is short and skinny is asking $3.6 for a shitty renovation?
this is new york city. capital of the third world.
foreclosures in Carroll Gardens?
Niente, lei e sbaliato.
You are crazy in head.
No?
“cheese anyone?”
No! Let’s go Giants!
“this is new york city. one of the capitals of the world”
It will soon experience one of the capitulations of the world.
cheese anyone?
I’d call from none to a handful, a trend.
a handful of foreclosures in a neighborhood of 65,000 does not a trend make, 9:53.
do a little more research and get back to us on that one.
