I live on the same block as the WT house – a house down the block recently went for over a million (obvious a MUCH bigger house) but more importantly – I can tell you there are great neighbors 🙂
Housesearcher: I’m the person who “predicted” $3M for Clifton Place in two years. Please read more closely and realize that the prediction was in jest.
the windsor terrace house seems like a decent price, but for some reason, i just can’t wrap my head around the hood. been up and down every street over the years (like to walk), and looked at several places because I’ve bought 2x in the last few years. i think the hood needs something in terms of retail or restaurants. just anything. it’s just kinda blah.
I own an apt in PS very near the 2.2 listing, and am shocked by this price. Sometime within the last 2 years, a house right across the street from this listing, in very good shape (not needing extensive renovation) was asking 1.8 – for 4 floors in PS321 (the 2.2 is not in 321, and while 39 is an excellent school, it is not as “established” in its reputation as 39, though that is rapidly changing…) Still, does it really make sense for someone to expect this listing, renovated, to be worth 3 million? Is this really a sustainable market? With the economy so precarious, predictions all round of a softening economy/housing market, what the hell is going on that people think it’s “normal” to pay $3mil for a nice home? And the person predicting Clifton Place will be worth 3 million in 2 years seems off too. Let’s not forget that NYC experienced a major correction in the real estate market in the late 80s – early 90s, so we are not immune to price declines!
now THAT’S the way to get me to bed stuy…
Do the “magnificent renovations underway” on the landmarked Clifton Place house include a facade restoration? Looks like it needs one desperately (totally missing the brownstone detail around left parlor floor window), and that’s a big ticket item to add to a $1.9M purchase…if the brownstone is delaminating, this may also not be an expense that can be postponed, for liability reasons (no insurance company will want to risk your dropping brownstone on the head of your downstairs tenant). Caveat emptor, if there are any emptors out there for this one…
10:24:
my child is under 4, so not yet, but we are planning on enrolling her in ps11. numerous parents (including me) in the neighborhood have been talking and meeting and trying to figure out what we can do to help the school – although many other educated, pro-active parents have proceeded, and the school is in turnaround – they got a great new principle in, and many new programs are taking hold.
p.s. 9:19 – there are many issues being addressed on this thread – you are referring to one. I am discussing another.
9:58: “Spare us the melodramatics.”
melo·dra·matic (mel′Šdrə mat′ik, mel′ədrəmatik)
sensational, violent, and extravagantly emotional
9:19 post is maybe a little earnest, but melodramatic? where did you see this melodrama taking place 9:58?? or are you just a wee bit of a malapropist?
9:19, are you actually sending your kids to PS 11? If so, good for you; I think you’re the first person I’ve seen say that on Brownstoner.
Everytime someone discusses public schools in the area, the first thing people jump and say is not, “Well, we should get involved and make the schools better.” It’s “Well, if you’re spending this much on a brownstone, you’re doing private school anyway.” Which is a big difference from the “gentrifiers” of Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Carrall Gardens etc. of a couple decades ago, who actually used and contributed to the schools in their neighborhoods.
