Dave, I was the first post on this thread.
Sleepin’ at the wheel again? 😉
Boerum Hill,
Do People who live on the west side of the street on Cheever Place (the side closer to the BQE) hear traffic from the BQE?
11217 is here.
Queue stevieB with the Walls St bonus crap.
Cheever Place = potential for noise from the BQE. Not as quiet as Strong Place or Sydney Place for that matter. I had an apartment overlooking Sydney Place for 5 years and think it is among be the nicest blocks in the City.
Crunchy Granola:
Since the PLG house has been for sale for nearly a year, how is it that you’ve deduced that it’s priced well?
To me, that is the very definition of NOT priced well. At least not priced well to sell.
There’s fabulous architecture in Detroit too, but some homes there are selling for $25,000.
The house on Maple is priced very aggressively for the neighborhood from what I can tell. Clearly too aggressively. Or else it would have sold.
I like it when a PLG house is priced well. I call this a “good self-esteem” listing.
Too often, in PLG, RE brokers price too low. Take 207 Lincoln, which is listed at $999K. I call these “low self-esteem” listings, because the brokers feel the need to apologize for the neighborhood, rather than it its fabulous architecture stand proud.
Bob, always enjoy reading your posts.
bkny, I always wonder who lives in places like these. With this and with DeLepp’s upstate NY manse link from yesterday, perhaps I’m getting a picture! Thanks.
the PLG house is by some famous french designer. she lives there and did the reno herself. she was featured on open house NYC on channel 4 lxtv show. she is probably pricing it by what she thinks it’s worth since it’s her home. sorry, i don’t remember her name.
i do love what she has done with the space. wish it had one more floor.
BHS,
We weren’t immune to ALL the’70s fads. We still have our ’74 coppertone range, which we’d replace if we could find a 36″ range we like that’s reliable and doesn’t cost as much as a car. Our harvest gold 1974 washing machine is still in the laundry room/darkroom, but I’d never use the term “decorating” to refer to that space. We DID recently (to my wife’s delight)replace the early ’70s Lucite “Tiffany” dome light over our round oak kitchen table with a c. 1910 craftsman style fixture. Come to think of it, I guess refinished c.1900 oak IS very ’70s, but I don’t care 🙂
I passed my Old House Journal back issues on to young neighbors a few years ago where I hope they’ll inspire more “brownstone revival movement” type work.
