Guest 3:35, try as brokers might to argue that Bedford is the dividing line between Bed-Stuy and Clinton HIll–and who can blame them?– it’s not. The border is Classon. The Clifton Street house is on the BS side of Classon. But it’s darn close. Note the city map, here:

Meanwhile, whether the Kensington dog is a shepherd or an akita, it’s not his spit that I’d be worried about…
Kensington – one of those bedrooms looks pretty tiny. Even for a dog.
I live in Ditmas Park but drive through Kensington regularly. This street is particlarly appealing, and although little busy, not as bad as Church. There’s a dead end just behind this row of houses that keeps the traffic from getting out of hand.
These street is one of the few in Kensington that has been spared seriously flawed exterior renovations over the years.
People, take a look at the many new PS listings that are on the market. Many have just been listed this week. They range from $1.42-$2.3.

Honey, let’s “stretch” to buy a big ‘ol townhouse and then send the kids to public school to save a few bucks.
Or are you making another [probably equally nonsensical] point?
“the family that blows $2 mil on a house is not sending their kids to public school, 321-Kool-Aid or not.”
That is utter nonsense. I have 3 kids, so private school would be 75K a year, which is a lot for me even though I can afford a 2 million dollar house. I could possibly scrape the 75K together, but it would be a big strain on the budget. And I am happy that my kids go to a good public school and that they get to experience some socio-economic diversity.
“i know everyone seems to think that you only move to park slope if you have children, but you should take a walk around there sometime. there’s plenty of young childless couples, lots of gay couples and seemingly more and more empty nesters.”
The childless couples are planning on having kids. The empty nesters had kids. The gay couples may be planning on having kids too.
I know I shouldn’t take the bait but… I know the family selling the 5th St. house, and I also know that they didn’t set the price, their broker did. Presumably the broker has at least a rough idea of what she’s talking about, as she’s worked in the Slope for many many years. Whether they get this price or close to it is another matter, but this isn’t a case of greedy sellers oblivious to the current market. As for the house, it’s well renovated, top to bottom, and it is on one of the better blocks below 5th ave.
none of this matters.
the park slope home will sell before any of the others highlighted.
people pay a premium to live in the neighborhood they like.
period.

“the family that blows $2 mil on a house is not sending their kids to public school, 321-Kool-Aid or not.”
The people who repeatedly post comments like this have no clue. Right or wrong, being able to afford $2M in Brownstone Brooklyn does not exactly qualify you for the Silver Spoons crowd. Though you may have graduated beyond Archie Bunker.
