House of the Day: 439 East 19th Street
We’re liking the look of this single-family house at 439 East 19th Street in Ditmas Park—the original built-ins and coffered ceilings are stunning. The 2,800-square-foot house changed hands in 2002 for $775,000 and just hit the market now for $1,249,000. That comes out to about $450 per square foot, less than what this house a…

Silly.
It’s a really nice house but it’s just not my cup of tea architecturally. I like ’em older.
DIBS — that was funny. (And probably true)
Antiterrorist: I completely understand the point about it being more complicated staying in the city once you have more children.
Of course, Mapley guy’s point goes beyond that. He seems to think anyone would be crazy (including the likes of *rob*) to want to live in Brooklyn. I think he should start a new blog, called Maplewooder, and then we can all go on there and trash the people who choose to live there. I wonder how they’d like that?

My child IS much more worldly and sophisticated because she grew up in NYC. There’s simply no question about it. You would be, too, if you’d had her advantages when you were growing up.

I think Maplewood’s point is, however, that once you have more than one child, things become much more complicated when you try to raise then in an urban environment, at least if you’re not seriously well-off.
— you do realize that is what Section 8 vouchers are for, right? unfortunately the only way to get a section 8 voucher in this stupid city is if you pop out crotchfruit like a pez despenser or if you man likes to beat you. BOO!

Everything else aside, I love this house and makes me yearn to return to DP! Still, I am in no condition to do another kitchen/multiple bathroom reno… Will take years to recover emotionally!
