while people can debate open kitchen or not endlessly, i’d say that it is desirable now/in fashion and probably good for re-sale.
families with small kids probably want open, and that’s a huge demographic for houses or big apartments.
when your kids are really little, there’s no way you can be working in the kitchen and leave them somewhere where you can’t see them.
I still like the open kitchen idea. Has always worked to make my house/apts feel larger and more social.
The Pioneer St. place is cute, if a little generic. But I wish the totally open kitchen would go out of fashion.
Counting the garage, it’s around $600 a foot. Is that delusional? Can’t compare to price pre-renovated and just say that prices have not gone up 40%.
busy, but not 300K busy.
They gutted the Pioneer St place, and it looks really cute now. It was quite a mess when I saw it for sale the other time around, but at that time they were also asking in the 800’s. I think the fact that it went for 695 then is telling. 98 Pioneer went for around the new asking earlier this year (or late last, can’t remember exactly). I think 98 had a little more quirky soul though…
I don’t think they’re far off. I think someone could offer 875 and walk away with a cute little house with offstreet parking and an English basement that should be convertable into a rental in keeping with the rest of the block. They can get $1700 a month for the rental. That’s a nice chunk of the monthlies.
Re: WT house
Not the best block, very loud at the intersection of Prospect Ave., a bit of the missing teeth phenomenon too. Not the same character as other blocks such as Sherman or Windsor Place.
Red Hook ask is delusional. It’s less than 1500sf, and that’s counting the English basement! Place went for $695k in 2008. I don’t think prices have gone up 40% in 18 months.
St. Marks is a very busy traffic street especially at the traffic light where this house is located. It is always backed up, horns honking, etc.
Will be interesting to see how Prospect Place fares. Just a block over is a Brownstoner HOTD on St. Mark’s. Same configuration, same # of stories except that St. Mark’s has gotten a lot of love in the press (big spread in the NYT) and is priced 300K less at just under $1.6 million.
