Windsor Terrace is certainly as safe as Park Slope. It doesn’t have the same level of amenities though, that’s for sure.
2:51 is clearly a warren lewis broker trying to hijack this post. As 3:05 and 3:07 say, the apt they are hawking is way overpriced. Pretending to be an interested buyer won’t make the price reasonable.
windsor terrace – walked by this house after seeing the pictures, which looked good, and man, this is in no sense a $1.5 mill. block. Nor is it 1 1/2 blocks from the park. It is, however, 1 1/2 blocks from the dry cleaners whose owner was brutally murdered last week.
I’m sorry but someone needs to give owners in this part of the neighborhood a reality check. We live in WT and while I like it fine, it’s no Park Slope, in terms of architecture, convenience, amenities, safety, or general feel. You can go a few blocks further towards Fort Hamilton Parkway and get a house for half the price. If someone wants to pay this price for this house, fine – but I think this far out you are not going to attract that mythical just-sold-my-2BR-on-the-Upper-West-Side buyer.
2:51, you can get a Park Slope 2BR coop for $600K. Our neighbors just sold theirs for that on a good block in PS. It won’t be prewar and it won’t be on the park like the WT coop buildings offer. But that’s just to give some perspective on price. I don’t think $579K sounds cheap or too good to be true as you say. What is the monthly maintenance? Is it high? How are the building’s financials and condition? If all those things are okay you should offer $560K.
579 is still way high for 2br in WT. Keep waiting until they chop again.
The house on Stratford Road is on the stretch between Ditmas Avenue and Dorchester Road where developers have purchased two homes that they are demolishing in order to build condo’s. This might be why they are selling.
I am looking in Winsdor T right now. I just saw a place on the Warren Lewis site that looks beautiful. It seems to be priced on the low side. It was a 2 bdrm on the park, that looks amazing. My friend saw it a week or two ago when it was above 600 and now its 579. Seems too good to be true? Anyone else seen it yet?
The Windsor Terrace house is a standard type of 2-story house you see all over Brooklyn. Nice details, cute and a perfect size as a one-family house. However here they’re pricing it high because it has been split up and has a rental income – but nobody would actually get the rental income because they’d need the whole house for their own use. So I don’t get it.
We own a house this same type, size and layout and it’s just enough space for the two of us plus one child. That gives us 3BR plus an office at home, formal dining room as well as both a formal living room and a large English basement den/TV room. Which I personally have to have in a house to make all the time and effort and money worth it. People buy a house in order to have more space. NOT just to have the same space you’d get in a condo. You can buy a similar space to this owners duplex, a 3BR condo in a better neighborhood, for $1.2MM. Is the rental alone really worth $225K?
The Park pl house is one of 2 next door to each other that the broker is listing. They are both narrow (17-18 ft). They are not in very good condition and don’t have much detail left. They are both full of floor through rentals.
They are also right around the corner from yesterday’s HOTD, so all comments about the crime level at that intersection apply to these places too. Then again, these are priced $1M lower.
