205-12th-Street-Brooklyn-0109.jpg
We love the feel of this petite woodframe at 205 12th Street in the South Slope. Unfortunately, a property that didn’t sell a year ago at $1,450,000 is unlikely to sell today for $1,350,000. Still, these two front rooms on the parlor floor have such a great vibe that we’re almost ready to forget the fact that the house clocks in at less than 1,500 square feet. Or that there’s a larger place a couple of blocks away for only $1,095,000.

  1. so all the “old time Italians” have moved out of CG?? i’ve lived here 14 yrs. The same Italian social clubs r still on Court St, Henry St. The same funeral homes, bakeries and street fairs r still around. In the midst of the greatest economic collapse in 80 yrs how many houses r for sale in CG ?? Fewer than when i was looking 14 yrs ago. U know why ? ‘Cause very few of those ritualistic Italians have mortgages unlike lovely Boerum Hill which has only been “discovered” in the last 5 yrs by people who r almost universally under water on their mortgages. Enjoy Angry Wade’s and American Apparel. (No I’m not Italian.)

  2. I like Carroll Gardens better, there is more space, easier parking, and it’s more ethnic. I really like that. Also, it is two minutes to the Battery tunnel to Manhattan, and it is very safe. Park Slope is more, you know, vegan inter-racial gay ville, which is perfectly fine, but not where I’m at.
