Those built-in cupboards do it for me. The photos and the floor plan don’t match up. Also the description says two kitchens and the floor plan shows four. Four is a bit much. I wonder if there’s special convent zoning. Or you could start your own cult without having to get special permits.
jingle_mail – We’re in no rush. We’re looking at stuff to learn, more than to buy. Especially until my wife has a new job. Thanks. 🙂
Wow mopar I really have to explore past Patchen. They really have some interesting housing over there… Cool looking house…
Oh here’s the great convent on Putnam between Patchen and Ralph we were talking about yesterday. Goldie found it. It’s out of my size and price range at $650 but it looks so neat. I wonder if they would include the pink couch? I have friends on the block.

for the guy with $30k and wanting to put 10% or less down, i would say just wait. i don’t know of any lenders that will even underwrite a loan like that right now. plus, keep in mind that there are closing costs. i think you said your wife may lose her job. that is one among many other potential cash flow hits that could come in 09. being house poor when that happens may not be the best idea. i think it’s great that you want to buy, but you really need at least 25% of the purchase price in cash and i would recommend another $20k minimum on top of that for emergencies or repairs. i would hate for your place to be talked about in “pre-foreclosure” on some future brownstoner post. if you are still doing what you did to get $30k, you should be able to build beyond that no problem. the way the market is going, you will be glad you waited.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the PP house looks to be first brownstone on a prime PS block under 2 mil in a long time, excluding obviously troubled properties. That’s significant, and it makes the Clinton Hill house from yesterday look badly bought. I actually don’t care for all that wedding cake molding, but it could be really cool painted all-white with dark, wide plank flooring.
cwbuecheler I would check out 208 Hancock Street this Sunday Jan 11th, 12pm to 2pm
It is a open house they want 729K to tell you the truth I think it is going to go for 600K. It needs a ton of work but still has a lot of detail and the location is really good.
Of course I remember you Biff! We had a lot of fun that night. I’m often on here, but it seems that usually by the time I get a topic things have been hashed out so much by others that everything I want to say has already been said. It is nice to see the comments from the people that I met.
I did see your spiderweb Slopefarm. Very cool. Did you see our garden graveyard? Next year I may get a creepy animatronic ghost or something to add to the effect. I love cheesy halloween decorations.
Park Place is a good deal. Great block.
