I think the Sherman Street house does look nice. It seems like it is totally renovated. The house on Windsor had the owner’s duplex renovated and not the top floor rental. For this price what can you get in the Slope? A big gut wreck or a teeny tiny house in the south slope on an okay block. This is a prime block right near the park.
Fair enough..it may not suit your tastes and central air would be nice for the price.
I don’t think many people would agree with you about wanting a brick house over a limestone. You may prefer brown stone to beige but Im guessing limestones go for the same premium as brownstones do. But its personal preferance of course.
I think a house on Windsor (anyone know if it was like the one for sale?) went for $1.7M last year. So these prices aren’t out of range for the area. They are on the high end – but if this house were a 10 blocks north in Park Slope, it would be going for twice as much. So I don’t think its that much of a reach to think they’ll get a nice chunk of change for it. Time will tell I guess.
Anon 4:30pm,
You’re probably right, but for that price range, I’d personally much rather buy a classic brick and brownstone townhouse. Something about the way the Sherman steet house looks, makes it unattractive to me and I’m sure many others as well.
Of course there are beautiful limestone townhouses, but personally, I don’t think this is one of them. For 1.2m to 1.3m, sure, but for 1.8m, no way.
Also, asking 1.8m for a house that hasn’t been throughly renovated and doesn’t have central AC in Windsor Terrace is nuts. Maybe in 5 or 10 years, but not today.
Sherman street house is a much nicer house than the one on Windsor in terms of style of house (assuming you like brownstones). At least from the photos, its nicely renovated and the Windsor one is not. Its also not located next to a dry cleaners as the Windsor Pl one is.
Whoever said that the Sherman St house is not like a classic brownstone – what is that supposed to mean? Is a limestone supposed to be inferior to a brownstone? Limestone vs. brownstone was just a exterior choice at building time. Interior details are exactly the same. On this block there are limestones and brownstones with the exact same style inside.
I can’t speak to this house because Ive never been in it but limestones have beautiful details, woodwork, and the same exact things you’d find of a house of this period and style. To say its not like a classic brownstone implies that its a lesser house and thats just not true.
Yeah, you’re right. DOB shows Windsor Place was built in 1914 and altered in the 1930’s — though unclear what alterations were.
the brick row house in WT was built 1904-1920 thats when that area was built and the price difference is brick vs limestone / time period when house built / livable sq feet / and the interior finish both are great house and agree that one is a little overpriced but we will see what they sell for you never know!
I think the WT houses are priced so far apart because someone on Sherman Street is smoking crack. Is the Windsor Place house really from the 1950s? I would have guessed 1920s at the latest.
Regarding Windsor Terrace houses:
One looks fifties and the other looks turn of the century, though by no means as nice as a classic brownstone.
One is seriously overpriced. The other is less seriously overpriced, but needs a buyer not obsessed with the idea of a classic Brooklyn brownstone — which is hard to find.
I sure wouldn’t want to live in a fifties Bayridge style townhouse, but everyone’s different.
Why are the two Windsor Terrace houses priced so differenty?
