I think some distance from Smith St. is good. It’s a frat party there these days and I’d prefer to have some distance from the noise.
daveinbedstuy–the kitchen was an abomination….it needed a little jewish lightning to set it right for a do-over
Wow, except for the Park Slope house, these are all gorgeous!!
Carrollgardened — I agree with you but I have become convinced there are plenty of others out there willing to spend more to be off Smith Street. And it’s actually a pleasant block.
As for Amity St, I think the price is really being driven by the “comp” (which I don’t think is really a valid one) of the $5M Norah Jones purchase on the next block over.
Court is the EXACT same distance from the subway, the historic district, and the Smith Street restaurants as Hoyt. Between Henry and Court, e.g., on Carroll where I owned a Brownstone for 10 years, I found I was closer to Red Hook (e.g., Fairway), the Columbia Street restaurants, the Borough Hall subways, Brooklyn Heights and the Promenade (I like to walk the Promenade and the Brooklyn Bridge to/from work). I originally looked in the Carroll Gardens historic district but decided I wanted to be on the other side of Smith (at the time, the other side of Court actually) because, TO ME, it was more centrally located to the places I like to go. I merely expressed a matter of personal choice.
how are block between Court and Henry more ‘central’?
Further from subway, further from historic district, further from restaurants on Smith, further from BQE. I mean Henry and Sackett isn’t even hardly as nice.
How does it work in an upper triplex with the lower garden duplex (which in this case includes the basement)?
Does the owner give up the garden? Does he share it? Is it on a case by case basis?
Ah, OK, CGed.
I live on 4th st two doors down from this house and I wouldn’t buy this house if I had 3M simply because of the locale. John Jay is across the street and there is an endless stream of idling delivery trucks clogging up the road. Cafeteria delivery, oil delivery, teacher parking lot entrance–all right in front of this house. The school’s kitchen is on this side of the building and the workers frequently have the radio blaring at 6am. The school’s furnace is also located on 4th and due to a malfunctioning alarm there’s often a loud intermittent ringing coming from the basement as early as 5am. It ain’t the kids who are the problem. It’s the adults who service the school. Very loud.
