House of the Day: 871 East 15th Street
Here’s a modest but attractive house in good shape at an accessible price: 871 East 15th Street. The two-story brick is only 1,500 square feet, but it’s got three bedrooms, a front porch and backyard. The original parquet floors and other wood details have a lot of charm. All for $575,000. What do you think?…

What do y’all say if Dibs has a Brownstoner fig harvesting backyard party this year?
Maybe 11217 will come back for it.

Remember, it was Eve who started all this when she took a bite out of the apple. Otherwise, we’d all be living in Brooklyn Heights.

Who invented the apple?
Whoever it was deserves a Nobel Prize!

Gotta love it!
I wrap mine in burlap. It’s only about 6′ tall and this is its third year so this will actually be the first year it bears fruit.
We have a 15′ tall enormous fig tree in the community garden behind my house in Philly. Every year I bring a ladder over so people can get at all the figs…Tey are the smaller brown ones (Turkish?) and are the sweetest I’ve ever had.
The Bay Ridge line is still (lightly) used for freight, so it won’t be converted to a greenway. The Brighton Line train is up on an embankment there, so it’s plenty loud pulling into and out of Avenue H station, but I suppose you get used to it.
There’s a little local retail on Avenue H, which you can walk to via a footbridge over the freight tracks, and a lot more retail down on Avenue J.
Textpert,
don’t know if prices increased alot in the last 15 months or so, but for 575k, you can get similar house in Bay Ridge and that would come with a Garage or driveway parking. Midwood is not a bad hood but I would buy in your hood and the garage/parking is the ultimate tie breaker
Fig trees are great, but require a bit of protection in this area…dave, how do you protect your fig?
