House of the Day: 238 Windsor Place
This two-family house at 238 Windsor Place in Windsor Terrace may have a slightly odd mix of old-school and 80s-contemporary aesthetics going on, but at its core it looks like a lovely old house and given that it’s got over 3,000 square feet of living space, the price tag of $1,125,000 looks reasonable to us…

238 Windsor Place [Warren Lewis] GMAP P*Shark
It’d be an easy take down with shillstoner in his period appropriate costume…those high heeled boots with sterling silver buckles, his butler holding the gauzes for his wounds.
Obviously the best use of that lower level would be a Thunderdome where shillstoner and DIBS can duke it out.
Two Brownstoners enter. One Brownstoner leaves…
Well shilly, contrary to both the listing where it is described twice, and propertyshark, you would know better.
Warren Lewis is not the type of broker that would misrepresent this place.
You have presented no convincing evidence that the two of them are wrong.
When you find some, come back and argue the facts, not your impression of what they might be.
Usually in Brooklyn when realtor say english basement (as in this case) they are more than 50% below grade level…can be made to be living space -just not legal bedroom or separate apt. This is where we see ‘rec room’ and such.
Different than when have ‘garden level’ – with a basement underneath.
DIBS, it seems to be obvious to pretty much everyone but you. And I certainly will admit when I’m wrong. That just hasn’t happened yet.
bkny…I’ve never seen a place in brooklyn where the garden level is 5 steps above grade. I assume your next higher floor is not a parlour level and this is not a brownstone. No???
The parlour level is usually defined as the level at the top of the front steps or stoop. I’d be interested in a pic of this configuration.
Yes, I agree totally…it’s all about the level of available light. Most garden levels are one or two steps below grade. The one in this house is more than that but is still legal and yes, it has to be much darker.
“Not sure of the price because it clearly needs work removing the mirrors” – did you really mean removing entirely or just relocating to ceiling? It would be a waste just to throw out.
I also think will take too much to convert to better usage.
Has to be less than $1m to sell.
“Well it’s propertyshark and the listing against you. Where are your facts to back u your claim??? You’re like a stubborn child.”
The flooplan. But if you prefer to trust the realtor and the city records over what you can see before you in the flooplan, go ahead.

Maybe it’s the addition & multiplication where you’re stumped, then.
Apparently you, and no others, can see that the basement is less than 50% above grade.
Admit when you’re wrong.
I don’t give a rats ass what’s on your garden level. All I know is that all of them are too dark for formal entertaining. Get it?????

Dibs, my garden level is about 5ft above ground. you walk up steps to get to the garden floor and top floor window views tree tops. all i’m saying is not all gardens are dark. we entertain on the garden all of the time and always get comments on how bright it is. our parlor is the formal living and dining but nothing wrong with entertaining on the garden. it all depends on your space.
that said – don’t know this area, not sure how much it’s worth.
