House of the Day: 185 St. James Place
We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story…
We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story brick is quite attractively priced at $1,200,000. We haven’t seen anything of this size and charm for sale in the area at this price for a long, long time. Are we missing something or is this actually a good deal?

4:59 you must be the lucky winner or the broker…
This house went fast!!! I was also involved in the “bidding war” that got out of control. The house was finally won by a woman who said she would bid $20K higher than any offer on the house with no mortgage contingency or home inspection. (What is this 2003?) Anyway, we were so frustrated by this, that my fiance and I bid a couple of times just to make the price go up for her!
If people are willing to pay big bucks to live in Williamsburg (Williamsburg!) I think
the real estate climate in Brooklyn is pretty strong.
When I travel and see some of the gorgeous places around the country where they can’t give the stuff away and then I think about the demand for butt-ugly Williamsburg and Gowanus. Yikes!
We must be doing something right.

LOL. Totally agree.
What makes everyone think The What is a man? The What is obviously my sister in law.

Brownstoner went to pick up ‘The What’ from School.
4:12 = not the real The What
Hey guys,
Brownstoner’s out of the office right now, and I don’t want to speak for him. However, I don’t think there’s a conspiracy afoot.
3:47: I look forward to reading.
Mr. Brownstoner–Please readmit The What. I find his remarks refreshing in a forum that sometimes gets way too boosterish (His remark about this being a circle jerk was right on the money). While not a fan of profanity, he uses it the way it should be used–pithy and funny. I look forward to reading his posts-he always gives me a laugh and I’m always quoting his better “rants” to my husband. His sky-is-falling demeanor is certainly forgivable and can be overlooked because he does raise some excellent points about finance we’d all do well to take seriously. Your blog will be a poorer place without him.
C’mon, You know that The What rises way above the usual disgusting snarkiness and immaturity here. Think of him as the Court Jester here who is able to tell the truths nobody else dares to.
