House of the Day: 391 12th Street
We like the look and feel of this South Slope brick house at 391 12th Street. It’s been tastefully renovated and still has plenty o’ original charm. The big catch is that it’s only got three floors, which makes the asking price of $1,750,000 feel a little hefty in this market. Do you agree? 391…

It’s not a haiku; it’s a couplet with an extra linebreak. Or perhaps a jingle.
Petebklyn,
Your impression of the terms “english basement,” “basement,” “garden level,” and “cellar” are the same as mine.
However, it seems that the term “basement” is used in a variety of ways and therefore often leads to confusion.
Thus, I propose a universal ban on the use of the term “basement.” I am hosting a United Nations forum on the topic in November.
Participation by invitation only.
Dibs the haiku master!
How is that a good layout for an apt…no windows in living area, which is TINY (10×11), bath opens into kitchen (which is probably against code) and worst, you enter thru the BEDROOM?!! Horrible.

Nomi,
I think that even if you must walk up a few steps from the sidewalk to get to the entrance, that floor could nevertheless be called a garden-level if the back of the floor is at ground level. I’m not sure how common that is, though. And that’s only my opinion.
But I agree with your premise: a garden level is approximately at ground-level.

> you bashed that beautiful grey on that lovely Brooklyn Heights house
True, I was perhaps unkind to that nummylicious house.
It was in fact a nice shade of gray. There was just too much of it. A bit of black on the fence, railing, details, etc and a touch more white would have made the place perfect.
And add some more greenery in the front. It was a bit stark.
Can anyone tell me how a floor that you walk up steps to get to can be called the garden floor?
OK, got it. Thank you.
