On googlemaps, pioneer steet looks lovely.
What is that church-looking building across the street from the Pioneer Street house for sale?
Pete, I have to disagree. Nearly all the houses on the block are configured as 2 families with the ground fl. rental. I haven’t been inside this reno, but it’s possible they made some sort of consideration for a future rental.
98 made it so that there was a sep door reachable via the back that had the laundry and mechs in it. The right buyer who needs the rental to offset the mortgage could definitely make it work.
As a Pioneer Street resident I must say that it is the most coherent neighborly block in Red Hook. It may not have the grandest homes- like the Coffey St. block between Conover and Ferris- but it is quite a lovely place. If you have children it is also an excellent place. There are like 20 kids ranging in age from newborn to tweens on the block.
Moving there was the best decision I ever made. Truly.
Pioneer: that house is too small to make the garden level a sep apt.
There is no cellar beneath it where mechanicals usually go – so they are on the garden level. And pretty small space if didn’t have it as part of the house. You only have 500 sq ft on each level.
(p.s. – lock the kids in a closet when cooking dinner).
Reasons for preferring closed kitchen, for me, involve:
-privacy (privacy for the cook),
-decorum (hide the kitchen mess),
-sound (insulate the kitchen noises),
-mystery (Where’s that smell coming from?),
-historical (a nod to the original past).
Open kitchens and islands are great if you actually have friends and can cook.
Nothing like inviting people over and then disappearing into your galley kitchen for an hour while you finish cooking dinner. With an open kitchen you can remain part of the party.
Is the thought that an extra wall gives you more options with the living room? With a smaller apartment I guess I could buy that, but if you have the sq ft, why not have it open?
I think the open kitchen will remain in style as long as the Food Network does.
Wine lover does have a good point about open kitchens and keeping an eye on the children.
What’s Pioneer Street like? I’ve never been there.
Totally, when you have young kids you definitely (speaking for myself) want open kitchen for reasons listed above and just for the added floor space it provides. Curious to hear reasons for not liking it.
I, too, wish the totally open kitchen would go out of fashion. When it does, do you think we’ll all cringe and wag our fingers at the bad tastes of yesteryear?
