Houses of the Day: Head-to-Head in The Slope
When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place…
When 590 2nd Street (right) hit the market three months ago for $3,200,000, we thought it had a pretty good shot at finding a buyer. Apparently not, as the price was just cut to $2,995,000. This, coincidentally, is the same asking price as a new Brown Harris Stevens listings in The Slope, 130 Lincoln Place (left). Both houses are two-family, four-story brownstones, though the 2nd Street house is slightly larger, according to PropertyShark. It also gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to interiors since the Lincoln Place listing is lacking in the photo department. Which do you think has a better chance of selling at this price?

Denton, I never would have imagined you had a 24-yr old daughter. I thought you were in your early 30s. Interesting…
Still no pictures for 130 Lincoln Place–the broker should be embarrassed. And this is what she’ll get $180K for?
Overpriced and will have to be reduced to sell.
House’S’ of the day. A testament to mounting inventories.
JFK Jr was ostensibly attending NYU Law at the same time I was. Never saw him there once, in three years of law school. Maybe that’s why he flunked the bar exam the first couple times he took it, and took it in a private room (not the public hall at the Javits Center) when he finally passed. You can send your kids to private school, but it doesn’t guarantee a decent product.
6:57, please don’t speak if all you can muster is that threadbare dung.
Actually most of this discussion was really pretty civil, and the obvious trolls were really easy for me just to read right over and ignore. Y’all should try it.
I think it’s great that this $600K couple wants to work to make public school work. Rich kids in NYC are the most annoying creatures alive. I don’t want to be around 12-year-olds who can tell me what kind of wine to order.
6:22, you’re right. At Yale we had residential college deans (who were also Professors). They just advised students on what they should be taking, etc… It was entirely possible to hold this position in your mid-30’s and these types of positions (along with the professor duties) probably pay between 150-250. I’m sure they have similar things at Columbia and NYU.
To the 600k buyers and public school, as well as the other people who say 321 is great but middle school sucks, my daughter went to Brooklyn Friends (when we lived in BH, and it totally sucked, btw) and then we moved here and put her in 321. When she graduated 321 she attended 51 and the program she was in was excellent. As she was interested in the arts, she went from 51 to LaGaurdia in Manhattan, in the vocal dept, and you can’t beat LG for an arts education, you can put her in any private school you want and not even come close.
From LG we put her she made it into a small liberal arts private school, not #1 and not Ivy, but good.
Now she’s employed as a tech writer at a Wall Street firm and making very nice money for a 24yo.
Overall I have to say the 51 admins and teachers were better than the ones at 321. Of course that may have changed by now.
So don’t let the anonymous haters make you believe that you can’t get a middle school education in PS. You can, and from there you can go anywhere.
And, for the study-hungry, there are studies out there. I recall reading one that said the Harvard grads with the greatest success came from modest blue-collar backgrounds. They know what their parents went thru to send them there, and they stay off the drugs and the booze and work hard.
