House of the Day: 176 Bainbridge Street
This three-story brownstone at 176 Bainbridge Street in Bed Stuy just hit the market with an asking price of $695,000. While the ultimate selling price may end up barely having a “6” at the front of it, the current ask is probably too high given the size (2,700 square feet) and the condition—while the whitewashed…
This three-story brownstone at 176 Bainbridge Street in Bed Stuy just hit the market with an asking price of $695,000. While the ultimate selling price may end up barely having a “6” at the front of it, the current ask is probably too high given the size (2,700 square feet) and the condition—while the whitewashed walls and sanded floors sit fine with us, the Home Depot light fixtures and tacky door knobs make us fear the worst about the unphotographed bathrooms and kitchens. What do you think? If this were $100,000 cheaper would it be a buy?

Where are you moving, mopar? I haven’t had enough time to follow the OT. For that matter, email me at goldenreign at gmail and tell me. I have been following your househounting saga for a while now and am really curious…
Geeze how many miles away is that 7-11?
Will he ever answer my 500k question?
Mopar, write to me at robyf@aol.com if you want. I’m not a rabbit though!
Wait, you are rabbit, right? I might be mixing you up with someone else, sorry!
OMG, rf I went to rock camp too. So cool! (BTW, must email you one of these days, we are moving to your neck of the woods as expected, would love to get together when things calm down.)
My daughter did play outside on our old block in Clinton Hill when she was 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and 11. She learned how to ride a tricycle, bike with training wheels, bike, pogo stick, jump rope, double dutch, use a skip-it, etc., etc. She took a big yellow bus to day camp in Staten Island where she learned how to make Challah and bake it over a wood fire and how to swim and how to find tadpoles in a pond. She has spent much more time outside playing than I did growing up in a classic NYC bedroom suburb.
I have lots of friends with kids growing up in the suburbs of NYC. I don’t think YOU have a very good idea of what growing up as a kid in NYC is like. She has her choice of Tompkins Park, Ft. Greene Park, Prospect Park, Central Park, Riverside Park. She went to Ithaca with the Young People’s Chorus of NYC for a week, did a free NY Shakespeare Festival program and a sports camp where she runs track, plays tennis, learns a little golf, swims every day in a city pool–that’s so far this summer, with a rock n roll camp in Greenpoint, Brooklyn coming up. And a job babysitting/mother’s helper-ing for a couple of weeks in August. Total cost to me–$300 plus Metrocard.
Maybe I can send her to Maplewood where she can learn to smoke pot in the bushes.
Maplewood, this is a great site..how bout those numbers from yesterday? Any comments? 1.9 in BH wowzers!
Be honest did this price tag hurt your pride because your appraisal came in lower than expected?
I mean you did mention 500k.
Thanks maple and good luck… we do mean that sincerely even though half a million for a 2bedrm in BH is pretty unrealistic in our opinion.
Mopar Maple will be very happy here in fact we suspect it will be dream come true for him to move here. But at this point what you are seeing is called “defense mechanism”…we remember doing that in 1st grade when this really cute girl didn’t want to play with us:)) We’ve since managed to find a better way to handle that sort of thing….
Ferrous balls where do you live? I see a ton of kids running around here in Fort Greene park everyday am I just lucky?
