Me thinks you folks living east of Flatbush protest too much. What a defensive crew; sounds like you’re still trying to convince yourself you made the right decision.
ok- i’m going to swim against the tide and say I honestly think the exterior of the Wahinhgton house is not so attractive. even a little ugly. too much going on..too queen anne for me! but I know people here love that stuff…
3:29: Dwell isn’t mediocre–it is affordable. The homes are $200 a square foot. World of Interior Homes are triple that. If you want a great modern home, you need an architect and a budget of at least 3M. What Dwell provides is good houses for under 1M.
I don’t know, ltjbukem. That Sackett house, although it looks like it’s good quality, is boring as hell. Generic flooring(I’m so sick of that thin strip blond crap), generic stairing, and an open plan that’s trying to be loft .
I like buildings that are true to their nature, not dressed up to be something else. It’s not a loft.
Interesting architecture, modern design, etc can (and should) go hand in hand with the character, beauty, and quality of old-world craftsmanship. It’s a challenge to combine the two. But it has been done.
Dwell is mediocre. World of Interiors has far more interesting and challenging interiors. Dwell is into these pre-fab trend-oriented spaces, which in my opinion are devoid of personality and always look dated. I have nothing against minimalsim. But minimalism shouldn’t be boring; it often has MORE character. Sackett house doesnt; it just screams “buy me – I’m easy”.)
Totally unrelated to anything, but if anyone cares to see interesting modern prefab houses: http://www.thedwellhomesbyempyrean.com/Preview3/Navigation/Menu/2_menu.html
Why am I still surprised to see the prices they ask in Park Slope. I used to live a block from the 6th AVe house. I couldn’t agree more with the other poster. It’s not that great a stretch of 6th Ave for that price. And those houses just aren’t that nice — notice how narrow it is, with only the two bay windows. Wonder if they’ll get it.
Glad to hear you guys are into the Queen Anne style. I own one of the few red brick Queen Anne Victorians in Park Slope. Not quite as wide as this one (20ft.), but still feels quite large. I love these houses and think they are much more interesting than the usual brownstone facade (not that there’s anything wrong with brownstone).
If a floor in a building has more than half of its VOLUME above grade then the square footage counts, at least in respect to buildable square footage / FAR.
ltjbukem – I like that Sackett Street house. Looking up on propshark they got quite a steal 2 years ago. I know it was major mess – but still!
Yet if I had that much and wanted modern I think I’d for for on of the 14TOwnhouses on State St. 1st – not much more $ than this.
