That’s a particularly nice block of Van Buren Street!
There’s really no BQE noise on Cheever Place, including the west side (my friend used to live on the west side, maybe at 17?).
Possibly once in a blue moon if there’s an accident or a tractor trailer horn, but I never heard anything and used to hang out there all the time.
tweedy movers.
So how does one get a pool table into an english basement?
(there also seems to be matching purple felt on the pool table down there. Maybe the designer did her reno with an eye toward hosting “Real World PLG”??)
True about the coat of paint, DIBS, but the purple nonsense is pretty indicative of the overall vibe for me; bad plankish flooring downstairs with that ugly standup bar, that crazy breakfast nook passthrough with its recessed halogen lights, wacky japanese bathroom, etc.
Not that this isn’t a house somebody’s gonna love, it just seems like it’s going to need another huge ‘renovation’ in <20 years… Just like the Bed Stuy house looks high 60’s fashionable, this looks high 90’s.
The Cheever house in far worse condition than the photos indicate. i went to the first open house several months ago when it was priced just shy of 2 million, and there were bricks placed under one leg of the bed because the floors are so pitched.
I think Bfarwell has a good point.
The PLG home is being touted as exceptionally beautifully done — and I’m sure it largely is — but Bfarwell and I think that some of the design choices seem to be dated or slightly odd or, at least, not completely to our liking.
That’s a particularly nice block of Van Buren Street!
Right DIBS! Not only that, the purple ceiling you’re seeing in that photo is in a basement rec room. As best I can remember, there aren’t any purple ceilings on the upper floors of that house.
