The Wellington Court house is nice, but the price reflects that fact that it’s on a cul de sac that backs up to the train tracks.
How can you say that about the Wellington Court house? That’s a relative bargain.
These are all lovely houses but if they wish to attract middle-class buyers other than hegde-fund managers and stock fund executives they need to seriously rethink their asking prices.
I live on Lafayette near Carlton.
Regarding this timing of walks to the subway.
It takes me 1.5 minutes to the C at Cumberland/Greene/Fulton and maybe about 6 to 7 minutes max from the front door to the platform of the Q at Atlantic.
So, yes, it’s probably 8-9 minutes at a decent pace from the east side of Fort Greene Park to the DeKalb Station at Flatbush Avenue.
Listen, much of FG is VERY near transportation…ANDDD the thing is, you’ve got just about EVERY TRAIN in NYC that comes through the neighborhood, even the G if you need it…AND, you’ve got the LIRR…Hop the train right near home and go all the way to Greenport for the Shelter Island Ferry…piece o’ cake.
Transportation from FG is EXCELLENT…about as good as it gets for transportation from Bklyn to Manhattan. From stoop to desk at the WFC it used to be about 15 mintues TOTAL if the C arrived immediately…had it timed…it stuck to the schedule. Now it’s about 30 minutes stoop to desk in Midtown.
If you’re in Clinton Hill, it’s a different story. More walking or you end up taking a the bus to the train depending on where you live and other issues…
“slopejack” is my new favorite word.
“Stop already…if it’s more than 10 min it says more about you than the distance. I do it everyday from a little further out in 10. If you don’t like to walk you won’t like it, but it it takes you 20 you need the exercise.”
Must be nice to be young and healthy. Some of us aren’t and some of us are smart enough to realize we won’t always be.
East 24th Street is beautiful, and double lot too. How is that area? Is it a historic district? Can imagine it will cost a boatload of dough to heat and maintain that house.
Laughing at 2:09’s comments on the photos. When we listed our apartment with BHS, the broker told us that Brown Harris (still?) considers itself an old white-shoe firm and some of the senior people there find bathroom and bedroom pictures to be…indelicate. As if those shots make people think of (*whisper*) having sex or using the toilet.
I know nothing about the nabe but I’m loving the 24th Street house.
Sorry 3:16, you are not allowed to slopejack this thread. Especially not with such a sad looking little dump.
