Sigh.
Shut up jerk.
Congratulations- an entire thread with differing opinions and no name calling! Progress!
Not many trinities near Rittenhouse square. Trinities, wwhich are essentially three room stacked on top of each other are around 350k depending on location.
Irving Street house looks to be in pretty tough shape from the outsid (I live around the corner). Irving itself is a nice eclectic street (architecture and ppulation wise) with huge trees and pretty quiet. PS 56 is across the street, wgich is the delivery spot for Clinton Hill CSA, but hasn’t attracted much interest otherwise from new folks (read middle class and upper class) in the neighborhood. But if you are the kind of person who spends a lot of time debating whether you would prefer to live in Park Slope or the better areas of Clinton Hill, don’t even bother coming over to Irving – it will seem much to raw and edgy to you.
The bottom line is that there are very few houses in PS under 2m, this house will sell close to asking. It is also in a far better school district than the berkeley place house which is accross the street from ps282, the center slope school that nobody in PS will send their kids too.
Even in Center City Philly some of those said trinities (which btw are more like 1000sf tops) cost 500-700K and near Rittenhouse, even more. I know, I went to look at a few a couple years ago when I thought about relocating.
But in the end Philly is….well Philly.
I don’t know what this S. Slope place is like inside but 2000sf is still a pretty decent size, even for a family of 4.
For a couple, it’s ginormous.
And people on a certain island a few train stops away would find this house in Park Slope a bargain compared to what they’re paying now. It’s all relative.
Irving place is a total bargain compared to that south slope listing. I’d think the Atlantic Yards would help its school situation, and it looks charming and larger. The south slope brick townhouses I’ve seen are laughably small, they’re like Philadelphia trinities. There’s no reason they should be over a million, let alone well over a million.
new york is windy!
my god.
i’ve heard it all now.
people in the largest city in the country complaining about tall buildings causing too much wind!
next, it’s gonna be…my garden dried up because AY interfered with cloud formation and we have no more rain!!!
btw, less sunlight because of AY will be great for lowered skin cancer rates in ft. greene. huge plus for the above house!
During the winter, the wind tunnel effect by Hanson Place could knock you off your feet… and it has been like that as far back as I can remember… and no, I’m not gonna’ tell you how far back that is! 🙂
