House of the Day: 213 Berkeley Place
This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive. There’s also a garden-level rental to take the edge off the mortgage you…
This four-story brownstone at 213 Berkeley Place in Park Slope is a beauty, no doubt about it. The period vibe on the parlor floor also works nicely, we think, and doesn’t come off as too over-the-top. The backyard is simple but attractive. There’s also a garden-level rental to take the edge off the mortgage you will likely need given the asking price of $2,475,000. We’ll be surprised if they get full price in this market, but suspect that within 10 percent of it is not out of the question. You?

Oh. Oops. In defense of my double post, I was trying to catch it to fix the incorrect apostrophe in “it’s.” Was too late. But see how it’s correct in the second post? So, worth it. At least my mother doesn’t have to be ashamed of me.

Yes. In particular, I suggest my art. Its value can only go up.

I love having a laundry room in the middle of the house. Right next to the generator of the greatest amount of laundry.
Thanks mopar. Dinner was great fun. I started out with some chicken breast (which Mrs. Jackal had defrosted for the kids but never got cooked). I had in my mind that I wanted something involving peanuts or peanut butter. I love cooking with peanut butter. So I chopped up some giner and some garlic and started sauteeing it in some olive oil, then threw in a bunch of dried chili peppers. While that was going I sliced up the chicken breast and added it to the pan. Then I took a jar of peanut butter that was almost empty (it had a couple tablespoons maybe in it) and added some soy sauce to the peanut butter and stirred (so it made kind of a soy sauce peanut butter mix). Then I took a bunch of broccoli and cut it into pieces. Once the chicken-chili-ginger-garlic mix had gone for a few minutes I added the peanut butter and soy sauce mix with a bit of water and the broccoli. I put a top on an let it all simmer for a while. Then I took the top off. The sauce was still pretty watery, so I added some corn starch (mixed in water) to thicken it up. Oh yeah, I forgot, I started the entire thing by cooking up some brown rice (this takes a while so you have to start it first).
So now I’m eating my peanut spicy chicken whatever on brown rice, which is fucking delicious by the way, and guess what – my kitchen has never been renovated. Now let me ask you. Do I really need to spend a hundred thousand dollars more for an apartment just because some jackass dropped a few grand for a couple of shiny new appliances?
Denton – laundry on top floor is great idea….Do the wash where the clothes closets are. Basement laundry is the trek.
And this is a renovated kitchen…just not to some peoples taste. I don’t know how expensive the appliances—only that they are white. I think some people think that stainless steel is quality. I think the food stays just as cold in white and fire on white stove is just as hot. (or low burner too).
The kitchen curtain does have to go.
Knock down $50 on price for that.
