Somebody’s been watching WAY too much HGTV.
Or is that you, Clive?
Go get ’em, Dan!
Now, how about ringing up your client in Ditmas and telling them to shovel some of their crap into a storage unit or the garbage? Paint rooms neutral colors, pack up the family photos, ditch most of the toys and provide hidden storage for the rest. In short, make it possible for people with teeny, tiny imaginations the ability to envision *their* family living there.
To the commenter, who called me a strange fellow and “perhaps not entirely scrupulous broker”, this is far from courteous. I can prove everything I have said about the house and neighborhood. Ditmas Park, a multicultural community, prides itself on our ability to get along and our innate charm and civility. I am sorry, if you don’t like the house or me, but be polite.
Perhaps you should consider another neighborhood

Why would anybody’s standard be the worst on the market, not the best?
There’s no good excuse not to declutter any property at any price point during a slow market. Sorry.
Yeah, you people are totally exaggerating about “clutter”. This is nothing compared to the recent Prospect Heights Corcoran listing at 166 Prospect Place, or many others for that matter. Give me a break.
The DP is no where near as cluttered as some of the other crap I’ve seen for sale at this price point.
It’s the dirt and toxins that would bother me more being right next to the subway tracks, not the noise. For some reason traffic and trains and sirens don’t bother me. Voices, TV and music bother me terribly.
The house is cute in a simple farmhouse way. But they need to make some effort to show they are realistically trying to sell the place. It looks like crap. I’m being cruel to be kind. I’m just not that forgiving when people make zero effort to clean up and stage when selling, because I worked my mother lovin’ a** off when we were selling.
The Wellington Court house has been on the market for a while (8 months at least). It is cute, has been tastefully if not always expensively (standard fare vinyl replacement windows) remodeled by a proud DYIer, has a large backyard, but the proximity to the train kept us away.
The asking price has trickled down a bit, making it a rare, “affordable” property in D.P.
Dan Shapiro, a strange fellow and perhaps not entirely scrupulous broker, will be sure to tout the fact that a police captain or the like lives right across the street.
All in all, it is fairly discounted for the subway noise, is in a decent neighborhood and on a charming block.
The Ditmas House is very nice but it is literally on the subway tracks. You look out onto the subway tracks and when you are outside, you can’t hear yourself think. The sound proofing is pretty good inside though. Thus the huge discount for the nabe. The house is nice though and actually has a decent amount of details.
