Hmmm – 2:25 is making me think it might be time to move to DC – are there deals to be had there? It is true that’s it’s crazy how much we New Yorkers have to spend on housing relative to our salaries…. I fully expect the avalanche of comments stating that NYC is so much better than DC, etc. – but the reality is that for many people, the prices here are just too crazy to merit whatever advantages the city offers…
2:21, get over it. $1.4 million for a tiny house overlooking a gas station and 4th Avenue, and next door to a likely demolition/construction site, is not a bargain in my book, Park Slope or no Park Slope. No house is perfect and maybe this will look like a great deal to someone – who knows.
We saw Dergaw also and have the same option.
You would need to knock a lot of walls down
(and move the refrigerator!)
Also with young kids, the prospect of cars screaming by down 4th ave is kind unnerving
Georgetown is our Upper East Side.
Million-plus houses there are immaculate and they are in an immaculate neighborhood. Most have garages and service alleys in the back. Also, most people in Georgetown do not have to rent out their basements to cover the mortgage.
Houses in a comparable third-rate, outlaying neighborhood in DC go for 250,000 to 500,000 and most have parking.
And jobs in DC pay as much as in NY.
You guys are screwed living here.

Someday this war is gonna end…..
We too saw DeGraw house and while we loved the renovation, we wished they had knocked down the walls in parlor floor to give it more open feeling – I think that’s why it feels so narrow. As for proximity to 4th Ave – that worried us too, but some people clearly don’t seem to mind that. I wish the owners well, since they clearly did a nice job on this house!
I see your point 2:10 #1, but what exactly do you expect for 1.395 in Park Slope?
You want the house to be perfect, in the perfect location and still be that cheap?
1.3 is about what some 3 bedroom condos are going for in Park Slope.
I understand the house wasn’t for you, but you really have some high expections for what 1.395 million will buy you in Park Slope.
2.10 – doesn’t matter what they are – they are ugly
Hoyt St seems a bit rich, considering its on the other side of Atlantic.
I’m also not sure about the size of the yard.
