I’m not 2:25 but MS 51 and part of Bryne Park are on 5th Street (4th – 5th Aves) … probably what that poster was saying.
I do think 5th St (4-5) is a nice block … not sure how it compares to others though.
Biff,
Get a job or a hobby for crying out loud…
I don’t love the look of the Kensington house, but it’s a pretty good location near library, playground, Church Avenue stores, retaurant, and F train, which might even have express service in our lifetimes.
Just curious, 2:25, what park and school are on 11th Street between 4th and 5th? I would have sworn that block is all residential.
We have an outhouse in our garden and that’s been fine for us, except in the summer when it can get a little stinky (even when you’re indoors with the AC on and the windows closed).
But seriously: we had to do the unimagineable and put the nouveau powder room right off the nouveau kitchen on the parlor floor (yeah, we did that too — put our food-making and storing facilities right on the same floor as our drawing room, reading room and reception room).
The room we converted into the powder room used to be some kind of broom closet or pantry for the dining room, so we didn’t have to build new walls or anything; but it is teeny. No Brooklyn fatties allowed! har har Now that it’s there, I simply can’t imagine not having it there. I think without it, the house would seem awkward — having people traipsing up to your private floor. Besides, I enjoy being able to spend all day on the parlor floor, cooking, watching movies, etc . . . without having to come upstairs to the sleepy, private part of my life. It’s kind of a flow of habit thing. No pun intended.
Anyway, to each his own.
Seeing the Irish flag hanging in front of the Kensington house and the Guinness poster inside, I reckon those tsotchkes might be leprechauns.
Hands off,3:47! This WILL BE MINE. Unless of course, it’s too expensive to add 3 more bathrooms.
As someone who has had never lived in a house with more than 1 bathroom up until this year, I can see the appeal of having more than one bathroom but it is by no means a necessity. We did just fine with one. Its called taking turns people.
One for every bedroom plus powder room for guests? Aside from the fact that most wouldn’t even get used – who wants to clean that many toilets?
For a while, I was living in a house with 7 people and one bathroom…no that was tough!
I think I met the Stuyvesant Heights broker once. He is like 80 years old.. but i really nice man.
I have a crush on that Kensington house, tschotshkes and all! But, I suspect I like the fact that it seems huge, has a backyard I would love to get my hands on and a rental. And, the price, when compared to the others is pretty freaking sweet! It makes me wonder if I am oficial “over” the Slope, Fort Green and the rest of Brownstone Brooklyn.
