Open House Picks

The Windsor terrace house is beautiful, really lovely. I am also surprised to see a Sunset Park place top 1 MM. Don’t know if the market can bear that (yet?)….

The streetscape of Howard Place is pretty idyllic. Quite different from the more imposing mass frontage of a row of 4-stry brownstones (which, it has to be said, some find both monotonous and gloomy), this is a block with a smaller scale, cosy charm. We have friends on look-alike Fuller Place. It’s a gorgeous block. The front porches are so friendly in feel and the houses, while smaller than a big brownstone, are nevertheless spacious and well laid out inside. If you don’t need the income of a 2-family, I’d say this would be a good buy. These houses are rarely on the market. Only downside is that the F train is slow and crowded — but at least for the morning commute, you’d be getting on before the crowds from PS and CG. Oh, and I believe Howard Pl is across the street from an elementary school. Fine for many, but not for all.

I’m liking the windsor terrace house. Don’t know the neighborhood so well, so wonder why it’s generally priced so much more affordably than Park Slope. Any comments?

i love the double duplexes like 44 Hampton Place — parts of crown heights have a lot of these. since they were built to be multi-families the layouts are a much more practical use of space than usually results from carving up a single family. there’s a similar place for sale at 1050 Sterling Place, from Weichert.

since when did brownstones in sunset park start commanding a mil? so much for sp being reasonably priced brownstones.
