House of the Day: 64 Lefferts Place
This four-story, three-family limestone at 64 Lefferts Place on the southern edge of Clinton Hill has some beautiful original detail (we’re particularly taken with the plaster moldings shown in the bedroom and, in this slideshow, in the stairwell). We’re less enthusiastic about how the new(ish) kitchens look, but each to his own. The asking price…

We’re less enthusiastic about how the new(ish) kitchens look, but each to his own. The asking price for the 4,200-square-foot house is a “negotiable” $1,750,000. (Taxes are less than $2,000 a year!) How much negotiation do you think the seller will actually have to do to get this deal done?

FGG – you were chastized because of your charge of racism where there was none. People like you who bring up racsim so liberally and loosely devalue the impact of the charge of racism. Your kneejerk overuse washes it of its significance.
what did 9:04 write? why do they delete comments and keep the responses. so confusing delete it all.
“It’s nice to know that even if I go away for two weeks, resident d-bag, Biff, is still here.”
Um, yeah…you thought faded guest trolls will ever keep me away? No chance.

All the CH haters are annoying. I’m glad Mr. UWS’der wrote what he did. The fear of black people on these threads is palpable at times. I was been chastised by a number of posters when I pointed out the RACISM of the thread on the Washington Avenue HOTD this week.
Thank you UWS’der, not that I totally “buy” your supposed dearth of advantages (maybe you’re not entitled, as you say, but you’ve had advantages that many people have not had or could, frankly, have access to in the US), your perspective and attitude should give some guidance to those who are stuck in the prison of what might be termed the “fantasy of security”, those who might have trouble dealing with African-Americans who tell us that only PS, CG, BH et al are places worthy of being including on the Mount Olympus of Brownstone Brooklyn.
I feel that FG and CH are the Elysian Fields frankly (who wants to live on Mount Olympus?) AND we still qualify as wonderful communities within Brownstone Brooklyn, not the hand-maidens or poor cousins to the exalted Slope buyers.
I positively love FG. I’m not is some fog of admiration though and recognize the positive sides of other neighborhoods. I lived at a prime-UES address and eventually grew to hate it…for many reasons. I prefer FG and wouldn’t go back to the UES unless forced to by things outside my control.

I thought that was a great family story, 11:29. Your father must have been an amazing person and it was it is such a classic American immigrant tale. I wish brownstoner would set up a genealogy thread so Brooklynites could post their family stories. NOP writes wonderful stories about growing up in Crown Heights.
You can talk about anything you like. I wouldn’t have posted that at the beginning of the HOTD but I started typing a response to 904 and it just came out. Not meaning to lecture.
Interesting post there 11:29am.
Can we talk about my problems now?
