CHG: The East 21st Street building is interesting, but it’s not what someone is typically looking for if they’re browsing the other neighborhoods you mentioned, which are comprised largely of detached, wood-frame homes.
Like Prospect Park South, it’s landmarked, part of the Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces Historic District. That could be a plus or a minus, depending on what someone is looking for.
The building itself looks nice, but it faces onto East 21st Street, not the Terrace cul-de-sacs. Most of that block is large apartment buildings. Take a look at the street view in Google Maps.
East 21st Street is one block from both Ocean Avenue and Flatbush Avenues. It gets a lot of traffic from folks trying to avoid them. The garden is on the street, not behind the house, so it would not be a quiet space.
Pluses are it’s around the corner from the landmarked Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church and its beautiful graveyard, a 2-minute walk to the B/Q Church Avenue stop, and a 5-minute walk, if that, to Prospect Park. Shopping and amenities are also right around the corner on both Church and Flatbush Avenues.
I left Park Slope for Bay Ridge three years ago. We bought a limestone which we love, in the 70s off third, the ones BRG spoke of. I never knew streets like narrows, ridge and colonial existed and some of the vics on those blocks are quite stunning. Some are for sale.
That being said some people have done some numbers on their homes that could make you vomit but that happens in many nabes. But that does not take away from the homes that people have restored to their original splendor. To each his own.
Our taxes have also gone up, but that’s okay by me since the school we are zoned for ranks high every year. Compared to the 8K my sister pays in NJ its not too bad. I hope they don’t keep going up !
I am loving that Bay Ridge house. Too bad I wouldn’t even know how to get to Bay Ridge to attend the open house.
I think a lot of people are commenting about this house in Bay Ridge and have never been over to the area where this house is located. Yes, maybe you have been to 3rd or 5th avenue for dinner a few times, but where this house in located is a completely different feel. The homes on these blocks are STUNNING!!!!! Absolutely stunny!!! I drive by sometimes to just look at them and dream. There was a house over there on the market about 6 months ago for $4M. Homes on those blocks sell for million dollar prices.
Three Cheers for Brownstoner for featuring a Bay Ridge house. I know you have readers from this neighborhood.
For those that do not know there are really nice places over in those blocks.
no but i wish things were more like they were in the 80s and early 90s.dam NY was a great place.u could drink and get high on streets all u wanted,without being harassed by the law.only the weak would complain about crime.
times have changed buckfast
its no longer the 1970’s. Or the 50’s or 30’s or 10’s.
Honestly, I am shocked that no one is really talking about the Kenmore Terrace place. It looks beautiful, and it’s a huge home (3000 sq ft). We’ve really only looked in prime Ditmas Park, West Midwood, Beverly Square West, and Prospect Park South, but this home seems like a bargain for the price, and it’s just one block away from Ocean Ave.
“So my taxes are going up in Bay Ridge again, while they are going down in the South Slope. ”
Thanks, us South Slopers appreciate your contribution, Really!
