I’m sure there are a few of those 3:42…I’m there for the longer term. I bought, put a lot of money into it, have a great place, and love it. And, looking for more places there. You on the other hand, sound bitter. Wonder why.
Or perhaps an idiot is someone who bought and got stuck with a place in Bed Stuy in a declining housing market.
I agree with 2:58 — the BH house is nice enough, but that’s a really cramped kitchen for $2.5M. Yard is gorgeous, though nothing unique.
I like the one in Fort Greene a lot; nice details and seems reasonably priced (relatively) given a great location right near the park and everything on DeKalb without acutally being on DeKalb (which is a lot noisier than Clermont). Another nice looking yard, too.
Boring. None of these houses are in Park Slope, which is the only neighborhood I am looking in.
I’m sorry, but even if you are in your forties and you have climbed the so-called equity ladder as I have, 2.5 million is a huge sum. huge. No way I’m going to go out on such a limb with my equity. I’ll stick to stocks and bonds and maybe buy a little place in the booies for the weekends -where I can get away from all this real estate hype.
The “Arabic” school which is the Khalil Gibran school is a middle school. The woman who should have been the principal was a teacher at 261 but was tapped for bigger and better things at the DOE. Currently, Khalil Gibran is in the same building as Math and Science but I understand it is moving to Fort Greene.
My child made the 29 gifted program about ten years ago. I didn’t think it was a good fit and PS 58 was even more traditonal which is why we ended up at 261.
I know what this is about more than you do 2:59. Go back and read the thread from beginning to end. When someone like you jumps in to comment on one post without having seen what went back and forth before it you just look like an idiot. I rest my case.
For the slow (Dave), HOTD is all about homes for sale, the price, the condition, etc. Maybe you are the one who misunderstands this whole thread.
I bought a house in the Ditmas park area a couple of years ago that is a bit bigger than this one. I had all the walls replastered and repainted and it cost me about $8,000. I had some really high quotes and a couple lower than this, but the guys I picked were highly recommended by a neighbor. It really doesn’t cost that much. Now kitchens and baths…that is another story.
