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.

It is going to be hysterical in a few years when all you trolls are going to be so out priced and over. Stupids…we owners in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill WILL NEVER LOWER OUR PRICES. Got that.. NEVER. WE will leave these homes to our children and their children before you ass farts think you will get them.
9:26…you aren’t very smart.
rentals might be going down a half a percent, but if you want to look at the history books, rentals do not go up and down to the extent that housing prices do. they go up over time with few and small drops.
oh, and you are forgetting that a lot of people like owning homes and not for investments.
i don’t care that renting might be a little cheaper…i would rather own my home.
there are more like us, than you care to admit.
practically everywhere outside of the major cities, it is cheaper to rent.
yet 70% the non-nyc crowd has decided to purchase a home, despite that.
“i do think the government would at some point step in and do something”
What do you think Chopper Ben and Dubya are unveiling this Friday even though it aint gonna do dick? Economic stimulii…yeah right!
Tighten those seatbelts, not so hard that you cut off your circulation, but tighten them nonetheless. If you’re obese make sure to order one of those seatbelt extenders soon.
“…otherwise, every person in america would be bankrupt…”
I think you’re finally seeing the light.
Sorry bud at 9:06. Rentals are going down too. Recession means job losses and relocations out of the city. Rents went down in the 1991 recession and they’re gonna go down now.
“will always go up exponentially over time” You gotta be fucking kidding me! Until prices crash 25% to 50%, renting will be cheaper than buying.
tightening a seatbelt too hard really isn’t good for you.
can actually kill you easier in a crash.
not really the best analogy there guy.
Mayor’s and NYC budget office’s forecasts for the city that were announced today are absolutely depressing. Bad times ahead. Tighten those seatbelts.
if housing prices fell by 200% like that, 9:10 i do think the government would at some point step in and do something.
otherwise, every person in america would be bankrupt.
come on now.
btw, i do always see this tall, hot guy in park slope every now and again. sometimes see him at ozzie’s.
