Also, ML, you could find anything in Brooklyn somewhere else for half price. Or less. What’s that got to do with anything?
“The Ditmas House is a standard little woodframe house that you find in every suburb for half the price.” (ML)
Little, really? It’s a six bedroom house.
I would never put a bath in that lovely pantry. Put a half in one of the first floor closets and maybe another full on the third floor.
I just looked at the kitchen photo again. I kept thinking that orange is terrible. But, if you cover up the floor, the orange actually works. It’s either reflected too much in the floor tiles, or the tiles themselves are just too orangey. Or the photo stinks.
You’re right! Weird.
The description of the Bed-Stuy house says “the beautiful Tompkins Park…in close proximity.” This house is just about as far from Tompkins Park as you can be in Bed-Stuy. Other parks are a lot closer!
think that the the 21st street house looks like a good renovation. to promote as a condo alternative is smart.
That Bed Stuy house sounds intriguing (no photos yet). I am pretty sure it’s one block from the projects (on Bainbridge), but maybe that’s not a problem.
Yeah C_Gar, I think you want to be a little further into the neighborhood, away from CIA.
This particular Ditmas Park house doesn’t excite me. The only thing I really like is the pantry, so I’d hate to have to tear it out to put in a second bath.
I think it’s a shame to get rid of the beautiful pantry (and the storage it provides) for a powder room. Though convenient to have one on the main floor, I don’t personally think it’s a requirement. Kind of gross to have a toilet right off the living room, dining room or especially kitchen.
I would add something simple and functional in the basement for family use. And add one on the top floor for those bedrooms.
The kitchen on the DP house looks like it has close to the original layout–would be fun to convert it back to an old-style kitchen.
