House of the Day: 1600 Dorchester Road
This beautiful Victorian house at 1600 Dorchester Road has the distinction of having the only in-ground pool in Ditmas Park. And what a tastefully-done pool it is (especially when compared to what most pools in Brooklyn look like)! The interior of the house is gorgeous as well, with beautiful old floors and tastefully remodeled bathrooms….

The interior of the house is gorgeous as well, with beautiful old floors and tastefully remodeled bathrooms. There should be no shortage of potential buyers coveting this place, the question is whether they will be willing to pay the asking price of $1,525,000. What do you think?

“This house has siding, too, which is also a minus in my book.

Wow! What a house and I for one would love to have a pool that nice. I agree that 1.3 seems to be a good target for what this will go for.
Tough crowd today!
Siding is ugly
Pools are expensive headaches
Who has time to swim?
Go on Rob, ask why siding is tacky.

what about a house with a paddling pool?
Tacky – subjective, I guess. Just my opinion. I would consider a house with an in-ground pool if it was proportional to the property (as in this case), but I wouldn’t even consider looking at a house with an above-ground pool.
The opening scene to Sunset Boulevard comes to mind…
