just walked past 51 cambridge and spoke to the men gut renovating the bldg. the bldg is listed on corcoran as sold, however it seems that the previous owner settled whatever issues that kept the bldg closed for a long time and may sell it once renovations are done… so they say…
i live on the block and the bldg is beautiful, aside from the bars on the windows and cement blocks around the front. we’ll see how the renovations come along, will be watching for it.
To continue the Westchester Blather: It’s true that the north east is the most bucolic, but it is also very blue blood and waspy. The north west part of the county is very pretty and bucolic and tends to be pretty groovy, liberal, and artsy. I know many ex-brooklynites who’ve settled there and are very happy.
Now back to Brooklyn Blather…
Disappointed I couldn’t see upper two floors of Cambridge Place bldg. Anybody know their condition? What’s with the cinder block fence out front, the parlor accoustic ceiling walls and parlor back room office ceiling tiles? Wreaks of patchy maintenance over the years but has a load of potential. Forgot to ask broker if it would be delivered vacant.
doesn’t anybody want to talk about the houses they saw on Open Houses yesterday? this westchester blather is pointless.
Must say the 11st St home looks interesting inside, the width, the side windows allowing in cross ventilation as well as light, and then to top it off with the private driveway (you really can’t put a value on it – go ahead and try – I dare you!), it makes for a winner. Quibble as to interior esthetics. But this is a winner from what I see (and know – I got a 25 footer and a driveway, and would never come close to selling at this level.) Too bad for them I’m not in the market, because I’d snatch this right up.
Westchester ranges from pretty urban – such as downtown Yonkers, WhitePlains, etc to grassy treed suburban to fairly bucolic countryside (N.E. part of county). And so is northern NewJersey.
11:45–I probably could be a bigger snob if I really tried. What can I say, I’m from Brooklyn–I like city and I like country (even suburban country) but not typical burbs like Hastings, Bronxville, Montclaire, Maplewood, etc. Sorry if I offended.
“which I agree is gross and just as bad as Jersey. ”
i realize that this is a Brooklyn RE blog, but maybe you could be a bigger snob??
By “not suburban” I mean there are no sidewalks and it isn’t house/driveway/house/driveway with little green lawns. That to me is the suburbs. But yes it is a suburb in that most people commute to the city to work, though many are artists and what-not and work from home. And it sure isn’t urban. I have no problem with people not liking it—I was just questioning the “god forbid” comment. Personally the idea of a few acres of privacy and nature is incredibly appealing.
