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.

yes, you’re right, 9:50.
in that case, we’ll also see london, paris, sydney, san francisco, dubai, tokyo and zurich “crash” back to 3x income and 10x rent.
you are the immature one here.
this is new york city. one of the capitals of the world.
there is not a day in the future that nyc prices will go back down to 3x income.
if it does, the world might as well implode.
And lots of foreclosures mentioned in Carroll Gardens too. They’re everywhere.
See yesterday’s post about Park Slope foreclosure, 9:44. It’s a trend.
i hear the rockaways are beautiful this time of year…
9:42–there’s one dilf I usually see around 2nd St & 7th Ave whenever I visit my cousin. A real beauty–blonde, shoulder-length hair (which he pulls off really well!), brawny, very masculine, outdoorsy-woodsman type. He’s usually pushing a stroller. Last time I passed him I was with my boyfriend, who must have felt threatened since he blurted out “we’re never moving to Park Slope”!
My point, 9:43, was to clarify my 9:38 comment that rents will decrease not increase during this recession. How old are you, like 25? Prices will never shoot back up to today’s levels (real terms) in your lifetime. Within ten years they will crash down and remain at 3X income and/or 10X rent. Read some history…

Go back home to Connecticut and take you momas home back!
B/T/W some of you pubes assume everyone here in this neighborhood is a foreclosure victim?? When you were getting diaper rashes many of us already owned and did not succumb to your infantile subprime phenomena. Time to look in Bushwich babies.
Wellllllll, you won’t be giving it to me DIRECTLY, 9:41.
