>”Me thinks Chaka was being sarcastic Nomi.”
Hm. OK. I guess that makes more sense .. .
Me thinks Chaka was being sarcastic Nomi.
Wow, Chaka, for real? NOT questioning your choice of location over other things. Not at all. That’s just quite a stark comparison.
Yes, Architerrorist, that was my point: this current price seem very reasonable to me even taking into account updating that most would want to do. There are houses half the size on those blocks asking 1.3, yes?
OMG! I did not see the price reduction on this house! I assumed it was still in 2 million plus territory! Why doesn’t someone buy this house????
I was going to put in an offer on the Ablemarle House a couple of months ago but for almost the same money I decided on a 2 bedroom duplex in Park Slope on a busy street with no parking or storage where my teenaged daughters can share a room with their ten pre-teen brother just so I could be 10 minutes instead of 35 minutes away from the real city and close to all of those Park Slope ammenities. Besides even though those Victorian Flatbush streets are wide enough for both strollers and people, I really don’t mind walking in the gutters – as long as they are in Park Slope anyway.
The Albemarle house has many things going for it – most of which has been pointed out here.
Negatives = small kitchen and a number of bathrooms, in need of renovation; siding (as opposed to shingle); corner lot with limited yard; floors that have been sanded within an inch of their lives…
However, IMO, the custom furniture, Tiffany glass, hand painted wall papers, preserved woodwork, etc… trump the negs, all of which can be addressed by deep pockets. What you can’t buy has been preserved (floors can be replicated).
This place should sell around the 2 million mark. That’s a fair price, and would make it the highest priced sale in Victorian Flatbush… Since it’s one of the grandest houses, needs a little updating, sounds right to me. Just wonder why there haven’t been any buyers yet… Been on the marked for ages. Maybe owners have been sticklers for the higher price tag, which would only make sense if house was updated. Bet it would sell for 1.99 – right price for what needs to be done.
How can no one else be awake now? Why am I all alone . . .
Wow, those yellow walls are crazy (Montgomery). Love them.
Am I missing something, or is the Albemarle house priced very well?
In other news: Rob, you a such a mellow harsher. The house is wonderfully, fabulously in New York City. Brooklyn has been part of New York City for 111 years!
