Boreumresident….good point. I go to the park frequently and am impressed with the design and the incredible views of the harbor, skyline, and the bridge. It’s also interesting to watch all the boats going by. It’s really an amazing park. The city and state finally created something of enduring value!
I think it’s a great new amenity for everybody in the city, including visitors. Tourists love the place. They walk over the bridge, down to the park, and eat at Grimalidi’s or one of the other restaurants in the area. It makes for a fun day. There are activities and free events, such as Met in the Park. It was sublime to listen to opera with the NY skyline, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop. Those within easy walking distance are fortunate to have such a beautiful sanctuary so close by.
The recreational development of the waterfront is paying huge dividends for everybody.
The Willow Place home was lovely, as is to be expected.
But the central AC unit was neither on the roof nor in the backyard. It was inside the home, upstairs, built into a large closet. I thought it was a terrible place for it… all the vibrations…
Is this common… to have a central AC unit built into a closet?

Not the Willow Place home.
According to the brownstoner HOTD thread, this home sold for 2.5M in 2006.
The 2006 buyers “renovated” (whatever that means).
They sold it 4 years later (today) for the pre-renovation amount they paid in 2006.
When taking into account all the expenses and fees, the sellers lost a lot of money.
Oh that’s funny… the comments are all Italics in Firefox, but not in IE. weird.
IMO the new park will lead to much faster sales in the above $4M range. Before I think you had to factor in the idea that it would be a lot of money to spend for a neighborhood that at best could be described as sleepy. Now it’s an instant draw that extremely well-heeled buyers can tell themselves makes up for not having bought an equally nice place on a park block in the Slope for $1M less. Plus the steady yuppie-fication of DUMBO and fulton ferry means that homeowners in this part of the Heights can more easily walk to variety of restaurants rather than debating whether to go to Manhattan or out to Smith Street or 5th Avenue.
impressed as usual.
BK Heights are where the deep pockets roam – no doubt about it.
I would add too that the Cranberry Street house is nicely located within a few minutes of the new Brooklyn Bridge Park. I wonder what impact that park will have on real estate values in the area.
Ask is irrelevant until the widget discussion.
