House of the Day: 171 State Street
Very nice indeed! 171 State Street just hit the market and it’s a beauty. The center-stair brownstone in Brooklyn Heights has mucho original charm—fireplaces, pier mirrors, parquet out the wazoo. Given the charm factor and the location, the asking price of $2,895,000 sounds reasonable to us. Thoughts? 171 State Street [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark

unhinged?
is that the best insult you two can find?

I have to agree with 11217 in that there’s nothing racist about not liking the location of this house, especially for $3 million. I avoid walking on Court Street whenever I can because it’s crowded, noisy and dirty (for that I go to Manhattan). Otherwise, I think this is a beautiful house on an otherwise beautiful block. Though, as Maly said, I am a bit leery of the movie theatre burning down eventually.
Thank you Dave.
And I probably WOULD be ok with living next to a cinema, but probably not for 3 million dollars. That was the only point. It looks like a great house in a great neighborhood, otherwise.
And given your minor tirade to FSRG the other day, seems it’s not only me you have issues with…
“fsrq, you seem like a very angry person. I’m sorry if I have written something to offend you. I really am. I engage in this for fun not to offend people and cause ill will.
There are many synogogues and churches in the city with dwindling congregations and few if any resources to help maintain their buildings. This is not the case here. This is a healthy, thriving, well-to-do congregation. I am a bit surprised that this problem went undetected until the ceiling collapsed. That’s all. What makes you so angry?”
JESUS F*&ING CHRIST, all he meant was that it was noisy, as most cinemas are, when they let out. Do you really want to live next to one??? I think not many people do.
I won’t pay 2.8m for this. But if someone gave it to me, I wouldn’t complain.
But who’s in the giving mood these days.
I actually love Brooklyn Heights. One of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. I personally don’t want to live there though. Does that mean I hate it in your eyes?
You have issues, and there are plenty of people here who are starting to notice. Your comments above were just mentioned in the Open Thread and I’m pretty sure NO one agreed with you.
And no, I don’t hate you, but I think you are unhinged.
You need to go above and read through this thread again and realize that YOU are the one who sounds like a crazy person.
Not me.
I’m with Minard on this. On top of it, although I don’t walk by this house every day, but I almost never seeing people milling around in front of this stretch of houses like you might expect.
It’s sufficiently far away from the exit and I think the presence of other venues on Court in which to gather — like the B&N or maybe My Little Pizzeria — probably keeps the crowds that do gather to meet up and see a movie from spilling onto the side street too much.
Can’t comment on the noise factor.
OTOH, I have to imagine that the rear garden (north facing, too) really does not get very much sun, especially in winter.
11217 I think you are stoned out of your gourd again.
Stop posting when stoned will you. You get very obnoxious.
Your post above was definitely race-baiting. You hate Brooklyn Heights, we get it, we get it. You hate me. Fine.
I truly think you are a bit unhinged.
