Love the floorplan of the WT house; for 15k you could update that kitchen very nicely. Wonder if the english basement is usable, though. If its unfinished the price seems a bit high. I also might knock out a wall or two on the top floor, or turn that bedroom off the master into a WIC.

Senators Propose 50% Bonus Tax on Bailed-Out Banks (Update2)
**
There is no justice in this country.
Banks get bailed out through 1) TARP money infusion 2) Debt guarantees by FDIC 3) Fed buying all their toxic mortgages and giving them treasuries in return 4) Fed keeping interest rates at zero to allow banks to make massive profits through carry trades.
These same banks that got us into trouble are now able to make obscene profits again and pay their employees big bonuses while the rest of the country is still starving, suffering, unemployed, and barely able to feed and clothe their kids.
These same bankers with their fat bonuses are going into brooklyn to buy nice brownstones and denying my family from finding a house to bring up my children.
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!!
I’ve passed by the WT place a lot… there are two or three identical houses that have been meticulously renovated on the outside. They really stand out and are beautiful houses. Quiet location. Yeah, seems like the kitchen will need some help.
I think the Indian place is a bit better because it is real honest mom and pop. Ingredients taste fresher, more substance, less sauce. Nothing fancy.
12th St house has no floor plan in listing, but I think it has 2 real floors, a top floor rear bedroom (sloped roof in front) like a lot of Charette renovations (which this might be, not sure), and a floor below the main flor that might open onto the back but that is nearly entirely below grade in the front with no windows. Hard to tell what the real usable sq. ft. is without floor plan.
2003? Rats, we were gone by then. Little gray house? No wait, 302?

> 6th ave in the teens is becoming it’s own little foodie destination
Sweet. That gives you three avenues of restaurants (etc) in the South Slope.
The 12th street house is a beauty, and it always seemed so pleasant- well gardened, bright fence, kids toys on the front porch. Hope whoever gets it keeps it up – and doesn’t knock it down.
35′ depth on a frame provides light through the whole house- you get the nice north/south light all day on the parlor/kitchen floor.
Also that house has a really cool copper roof on it’s porch.
Wasn’t there just a fire directly next door- when I walked by recently, looked like it had been gutted.
6th ave in the teens is becoming it’s own little foodie destination with Indian, Lot 2 and Giuseppina’s.
