Does the neighborhood in that part of tenth street have a name? is it Gowanus? South East Brooklyn? It would be interesting to ask someone who has lived there for a while.
“I’d be happy to live in 2100 sf but not across the street from one of the ugliest buildings in the PS vicinity (and probably much of “brownstone” bklyn) and certainly not for that price. Hell, no. ”
um….the 2100 sf house being referred to is the brooklyn heights home which is 4.4 million dollars.
so you wouldn’t pay 1.4 million for the same size home in park slope?
something tells me you don’t have 14 dollars.
“BH ain’t the plaza. that’s like comparing a one of a kind 1930’s formula 1 car with a 2 year old lexus. order of magnitude difference.”
and the difference is $2500 psf to $6400 psf accordingly.
your point would only make sense, if the garden place house was asking $6400 psf.
as it stands now, you made no point at all.
agreed, 3:28.
anyone who thinks that can get that 10th street house for 1.05 million is literally off their rocker.
that’s the going rate for houses profiled on here in crown heights and bed stuy.
and anyone who says those neighborhoods are dangerous are BERADED on here.
10th street, while not the most beautiful block in the world is an excellent location near tons of great shopping/restaurants and the train.
and crime in this neck of the woods is probably 10% of what it is in either bed stuy or crown heights.

In vertical living, spread between three floors, and by brownstone standards, it doesn’t get much smaller than 2100 square feet. Square foot envy will be a part of everyday life in this humbler.
Re: The house on Westminster Road in Ditmas Park West:
“… the brick on the first story can be removed in an afternoon …”
… if your idea of restoration is taking a sledgehammer to the building. What then? Removing the brick is just the first problem. Any siding beneath it is already damaged and ruined by mortar and moisture and will have to be removed. Now you’ve got bare 100+ year-old sheathing in who knows what condition. You will do house wrap and insulation while you’re at it, because you never want to do this again, nor will the next person who buys the house from you or your estate.
Then, the process of restoring the siding – likely clapboard – to a house like this will take weeks, at best, more likely months. Then there’s painting. I’ve been watching and photographing a neighbor doing this around the corner from me. They’re doing it right – carefully – and it’s taking months to complete. They’re almost done, and it’s already beautiful, a huge improvement to what was there, and an asset to the neighborhood.
If there are brokers seeding the comments today, I think it’s working the other way too. Somebody out there is praying they can scoop up a house in Park Slope for an even $1M.
