Ah ok cool. Thanks Pete. I think it’s a really lovely home and quite a bit less expensive than what I thought nice houses sold for in BH.
11217: I think NorthHeights was saying the bldg next door’s backyard is parking not the back of the house for sale.
per realtors descript:”French doors lead from the kitchen to a lush, private landscaped garden with a mature flowering dogwood tree in season.”
I have no way of knowing if the floor plan is for THIS particular house, but it IS typical of houses in this row. My own house, built a year earlier, by the same builder, is similar except that:
I don’t use the rear parlor as a bedroom
My front bay only extends up for two floors, not three
Instead of a large front bedroom I have a separate front hall “nursery” with a connecting door to the main bedroom
I haven’t modified the ground floor with such a nice large bathroom [Please don’t show my better half this floor plan :-)].
Listing the house as being in Prospect Heights is not good, but I’d chalk that typo up to the “gramlins.” Keith certainly knows better and, in fact, refers to the house as being in Lefferts Manor.
The PLG house is beautiful, in my opinion.
Hicks looks nice too, but not if there’s no backyard and there are cars parked there instead.
I also think that with the concentration of Wall Street money in Brooklyn Heights, that it’s not really somewhere I’d want to invest until this all shakes out. I guess that’s why someone yesterday said that no houses have been bought yet in Brooklyn Heights in 2009.
I think the 17th St. place is high…and only 1 full bath on the top floor, accessible only through the master BR? Seems like poor layout to me. I’m a huge fan of Windsor Terrace and think there are some great houses here, but this price seems to be reaching, IMO. Also, right near the expressway and pretty small. I like the house actually, just think it is overpriced.
Mopar, what the heck are you talking about? In any event, the Lefferts Manor house is very nice, but the realtor included the wrong floor plan and the Corcoran listing says Prospect Heights. There is simply no excuse for that. After all the trouble they went to renovating this house, I would get a better realtor.
Aside from that, very nice house on a very good block.
I think not mopar. Keith Mack has lived in Lefferts Manor for many years and used to be on the Lefferts Manor Association’s board.
FWIW this house is very much like mine (although it’s kitchen is much nicer). One of the things that sold me on my own house, which applies to this one as well, is that the original”free classic’ open floor plan on the parlor floor makes the interior seem wider than it’s 20 feet.
hmmm
why does the Corcoran listing for Prospect Lefferts Gardens
say Prospect Heights
I will say that house is really nice!!!
I love the 17th street house – thoughts on the price? I think it’s too high – maybe 200K chop
I’ll take two of each please!
