House of the Day: 18 Willow Place
It’s looking like the folks who bought the 2,600-square-foot brick house at 18 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights for $2,500,000 in 2006 aren’t going to make a whole lot of money, considering that they did a renovation and have relisted it at $2,850,000, not a lay-up price by any means. While the renovation looks thorough…
It’s looking like the folks who bought the 2,600-square-foot brick house at 18 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights for $2,500,000 in 2006 aren’t going to make a whole lot of money, considering that they did a renovation and have relisted it at $2,850,000, not a lay-up price by any means. While the renovation looks thorough and conscientious, it’s not a look we like: A traditional style without any of the charm that an older space would have. Still, it’s sure to appeal to buyers who don’t want to scrimp on modern conveniences.

OH, for crying out loud!
DIBS, not the front of the counter.
But in this case the side of the island; the short side…where one will be walking by to get to the the doors leading to the outside.
Every cooktop/range usually comes to the “edge” of a counter. What are you talking about BRG?????
Here you go snark, here’s an ‘A’
I would never design a kitchen with a cooktop / range so close to an edge like this one. It’s a hazard in my book. Plus, it’s nice to have surfaces on both sides of the cooktop, for ingredients, plating, etc.
Wine Lover, you may be right; it was a feel, more than actual proportions. The stair cuts through the middle somewhat awkwardly, instead of hugging a wall. Dunno…anyone see Verandah?
BRG – I am constantly scolding myself in the kitchen. Mostly for not cooking enough.
I don’t understand the cooktop issue. Its no more harmful placed on that island than were it on the other counter. Same height, same distance from the edge.
sender, yes boring indeed.
Take out the furniture and the finishes remind me of a newly built suburban ‘McMansion’ void of character.
CMU – As a newly designed kitchen, they should have thought about the location of the cooktop. An adult could be standing right there and a child can still have an accident.
Heck, even an adult can scold themselves on an oversized pot on that cooktop as they’re walking by.
BRG, what’s on earth is the diff between a cooktop “at the edge of the counter” and a range? If you leave a kid that age alone in the kitchen…
Hoboken, if you promise to cook up some salmon on that outdoor grill, I’ll be over and I’ll even bring you a house plant 🙂
