House of the Day: 276 Berkeley Place
This knock-your-socks-off mansion at 276 Berkeley Place in Park Slope was on the market back in 2006 for $4,250,000 but never sold. Now the 36-foot-wide Romanesque Revival house, which is full of drool-worthy historic detail, is back on again—this time for $4,200,000. Given that it’s 9,000 square feet and 11 bedrooms, the price doesn’t seem…

MM, I agree, and I never stop loving the Chagall murals.
Thanks for the perspective, 11217 @ 2:53.
“…three-story brownstones range in price from $250,000 in fringe areas near Fourth Avenue up to $900,000 for properties on Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West, the boulevard that runs north and south along the park. Brownstones near the middle of the Slope average $750,000.” [circa 1987]
And those were bubble times. Hmmm… What are these brownstones REALLY worth today?

I love that Montrose.
Have you been up to see any of the renovations yet? The newly opened up Alice Tully Hall is quite impressive. The entire concert hall is now lined with the veneer from a single Moabi Tree, and is thin enough so that with LED lighting behind it, it creates a marvelously warm glow. The entrance to the hall is a spectacular transformation as well, as is the new lobby.
The fountain has just reopened, complete with a new water feature done by the same folks who did the water show outside the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.
Lots of exciting new things happening up there these days…

New Widget – Amount of time before property gets delisted.
I think it’s time Stoner creates a new widget – time on market before getting delisted. All the open house picks are not selling so what sense does it make to use a price widget when nothing sells? I predict this one goes off the market in about 4 months. No way, no how, this one sells in the present climate. There were very few people who could have afforded this when times were flush, and it’s not going to be to everyone’s taste. I wouldn’t want to live there. Seller is obviously in denial as evidenced by their lowering the ask by $50,000. Anyhow, on the new time widget, I say 4 months and then drops off the market.
I learned more about what living in New York would be like from reading Daredevil than from any other source.
gotcha. (i guess somebody’s gotta clean those rusty trombones) lol

Best representation of Thor is in Daredevil #233, when the Avengers show up to stop Nuke’s path of destruction. Also the best depiction of Captain America.
There was an issue of Thor where he traveled to other dimensions; the way they depicted those dimensions was so mesmerizing to my 15-year-old mind, I’ve never forgotten it.
Back when paper was first invented, and I was in high school, I used to collect Marvel comics. I lived upstate then, and never dreamed I’d be living in NYC. Anyway, in one issue of Thor, God of Thunder, Thor, who had the corniest speech patterns of anyone in comic history, was at Lincoln Center for some reason, and he said something to the effect of ” These buildings doth rival the home of the gods, yea, mighty Asgard itself must pale in comparison.” I always think of that when I’m at Lincoln Center, especially at the Met. It’s a pretty impressive complex, and it works in scale, materials and massing. Although now almost 50 years old, and more inventive and more impressive buildings have gone up in the world, I still really like it a lot. I used to spend a lot of time there, and will always think it is one of the best parts of Manhattan.
