Err.sorry, I guess they did put a photo of the garden but it was snow covered so I guess I forgot seeing it.
Sherman St house is indeed renovated throughout. Its not all top of the line but generally nice choices in keeping with the clean look of the house. The setup is a bit strange as they rent out only the back portion of the top floor and keep the other half to themselves. Im surprised the realtor didn’t include photos of the backyard since its nicely decked/landscaped or the bathrooms since they are updated as well.
Its missing many of the great details that old home lovers cherish..so thats a no-go for me but for someone who likes a more modern look, everything is already done.
Not sure about the price but will curious to see how it fairs. Its a nice house in better shape than most of the other houses in the price point
Sherman St. is gorgeous, but I have no idea how to evaluate the price. Does Warren co-broke?
Yes, OE, you can apply to any HS – but how far are you prepared to have your children commute? Older children frequently come and go on their own. Attending a good HS in your own neighborhood is a big perk, as far as I’m concerned. And to clarify my point further – it your child does get into Stuyvesant, there is an express bus on Cortelyou that is extremely handy and cuts down on parental worry considerably.
And yes, MS is still a district by district issues. You can try to get a variance, but I wouldn’t buy I house counting on getting one.
I might add your tone was a tad haughty. Why don’t you do some research on school choices in Victorian Flatbush, then get back to me directly. I’d love to chat.
“Getting into a a good high school has very little to do with what district you live in. Please check your facts before making those kind of statements.”
OE,
So then I would assume that in terms of high school that it makes no difference if you live in Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Crown Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Bed-Stuy, PLG, Fort Greene or Clinton Hill? All children can simply get into and attend other high schools in more superior school districts? That’s awesome!! All this time, I was under the false impression that Park Slope had something over the other nabes in the brownstone belt. I didn’t really realize that everyone was actually playing on the same leveled playing field. That’s great!
Question: wouldn’t there be overcrowding at those superior schools, assuming that families in that school district are already happily sending their children there too? At what point do school officals just close the door? I just don’t think that it’s possible for the good high schools to absorb all of the overflow from school districts with less than stellar schooling options. In the end, for many Park Slope parents it’s simply private school or I’m afraid to say….John Jay.
Where do Park Slope parents send their children to high school? Are purchasers paying a high premium to live in the 321 zone only to have to pay 25k per year per child for private education at the middle and high school levels? Everyone on this board appears to accept the fact that there is and should be a high correlation between quality school districts and a higher cost for housing but why does this logic end so abruptly after primary school? I just think that basing your purchasing decisions soley on the first six years of schooling, assuming that you have primary school aged children, doesn’t make much sense to me. I would love to hear from Park Slope parents with middle and high school age children. Any out there?
I thought the house wasn’t updated, and was small. Basically I agree – 2 rooms kitchen and LR downstairs, and 2 bedrooms upstairs.
Thought the same thing for the rental uptairs just two rooms (both used as bedrooms) and no LR.
Plus the buses with noise – Halsey’s a 2 way street. Not convenient to subway either. The stair were slanted, and floors were quite loud unless you feel that gives character!
High in my opinion for the Sty.
I thought the same thing about clutter–it’s like complaining about the color on walls, which is the cheapest thing to change. Re: Midwood Middle Schools–is Hudde really that good? I think the crappy middle school problem is a constant throughout the city, but I may be wrong. (Bay Academy is a hike from Midwood, too).
“Went to see the BedSty house. Lots of clutter, and needs work IMHO.”
Needing work is one thing–THAT should be a consideration in making an offer, but CLUTTER? That will all be cleared away when the owners vacate. An astute buyer IMO should thank a seller for leaving lots of clutter around when a house is shown–it only scares away less savy buyers who might otherwise engage in a bidding war and drive the price up.
