House of the Day: 591 2nd Street
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad…
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad can crack the $3 million mark. (In this case, the asking price is actually $3,200,000.) We’ll be surprised, but we don’t think it’ll miss by much.

When the wife is away, he sometimes smokes cigars with some of his buddys on the front stoop and asks to bum a cigarette from me from time to time. Is that interesting?
no, it’s not. clearly he can only do fun stuff when “his wife is away” and that is just sad 🙁 poor whipped guy. park slope moms are so demoralizing and emasculating sometimes.

Yes, Rob…we know you hate happy people.
It shines through in each and every one of your genius comments.
My first apt was in brooklyn heights when I was in my early 20s. Decades ago but it was a terrific entry into brooklyn.

Every time I happen upon them, the husband (who is UNGODLY handsome) has his arm around his sexy wife’s waist, they are laughing while their little girl is smiling and running a few paces in front of them. I see them at the Greenmarket, I see them going for walks, going to dinner, packing up for vacations, entertaining lots in their lovely 4 story brownstone.

I used to work in Brooklyn Heights and go there to teach at least once a week. I was there yesterday.
The average age is higher than most of the other Brownstone neighborhoods.
There are some families with kids, sure. But mostly it is people over 50.
DIBS, how dense and dim can you be??? I was “ranting” about preserving the structure and integrity of the brownstone, not the countertops or the chandeliers!! You cannot rip out a bedroom in order to put in a huge ensuite bath with soaking tub. Nor can you destroy the parlour by shoving a kitchen into the corner. But you can certainly put in a mod light fixture and poured concrete counters. No contradiction there. Sorry if the nuance is too hard for you to get.
Biff is interesting and he lives in BH. So does brickoven. I might thinbk he’s an assh()le at times but he’s still interesting.
11217, do you really think that young people are not moving into Brooklyn Heights? Are you really that silly? Have you ever been to Brooklyn Heights? Seriously, your posts are begining to make me think you are a bit delusional.
Does the English basement have windows? If so it’d be perfect to throw my mom down there – she has all the amenities plus kitch and bath without the hassle of a lot of stairs.
And I’d have my mom locked in a basement. Win-win.
