House of the Day: 615 2nd Street Revisited
The owners of 615 2nd Street gave selling their Park Slope limestone a go last year but packed it in after six months when the $3,495,000 asking price proved to much for the market to bear. Now the house is back on the market with a new price tag of $2,950,000. It’s a great house…

The owners of 615 2nd Street gave selling their Park Slope limestone a go last year but packed it in after six months when the $3,495,000 asking price proved to much for the market to bear. Now the house is back on the market with a new price tag of $2,950,000. It’s a great house to be sure but, as we noted last time around, the kitchen finishes seem a little out of place. What do you think the market-clearing price is on this baby?

Right, and you conveniently left out the fact that the SPX had been down 25% on the year at the bottom in march. Why did you leave that fact out?

Because I was only comparing the so-called meteoric rise in gold to that of the S&P 500 from when the latter bottomed.
What is it with you and the reading comprehension problem????
Pigeon – I hear ya, but I’m not sure if I call morning commute walking “enjoyable.” I ride my bike to work most days through the canopied streets of Flatbush/Ditmas Park… it’s a beautiful ride. BUT I have to say I don’t notice it in the morning — though it is very de-stressing some days on the way home.
I think I’d rather have a very short walk to the subway and the access to the beauty when I can really enjoy it. You always have the *option* of taking a detour on your walk home from the subway. Options are much better than requirements! No?
Pigeon, I’m with you. I enjoy walking through the City, and am in no rush to get on the subway. So much so that I’ve made walking over the Brooklyn Bridge part of my daily commute, getting on/off the subway at City Hall. I vary my routine (confuses would-be assassins), and often walk out of my walk just to enjoy going home via the Promenade.
Is this the same block that Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss bought on?
Wait, why do I care.
tyburg you are seriously becoming one of the biggest broken record players on this board. you’ve literally stated in this thread one point, FOUR SEPARATE TIMES. and something that has been said 100s of other times by everyone about brokers. are you some sort of scripted bot or something? it’s creepy. that or youre one of the few cases of authentic autism.
*rob*
>>And your point is????

And i think exiting the subway in Fulton Park and walking up Stuyvesant Ave is quite beautiful as well. It is far, far more quiet than most parts of PS and BoCoCa.
stevieb, if you want to continue your inane comments take them to the OT. Leave this for real estate bashing.
tybur6,
Thanks for refering to the idea I posted elsewhere that it can be nice when your walk to the subway is through one of the most beautiful parts of NYC. (Even though you were being facitious.)
But seriously, wouldn’t it be nice to live a few extra blocks from the subway if those few extra blocks are an extraordinarily beautiful walk? Or, do people prefer to live closer to the subway, even if that means you don’t enjoy the beauty of your neighborhood as much?
