Paint-Peeling Charm in Windsor Terrace
This house at 1518 10th Avenue in Windsor Terrace is quite a curiosity. According to a neighbor, there’s an old man who’s been living here for at least twenty years (long enough that there’s no turnover history on Property Shark), in which time not a spot of upkeep has been performed on the house.

This house at 1518 10th Avenue in Windsor Terrace is quite a curiosity. According to a neighbor, there’s an old man who’s been living here for at least twenty years (long enough that there’s no turnover history on Property Shark), in which time not a spot of upkeep has been performed on the house. It looks like it has the potential to be a pretty sweet bachelor pad with that ground-level parking space and proximity to the park. We’re sure there’s more to the old man story if anyone cares to share. GMAP Property Shark
I noticed they’re pulling down a nice brick house on McDonald and Terrace I think–I expect a fedders creepture there as well–I suppose the sale of the bus lot doomed the low-rise nature of that block.
Seeing the kinds of renovations they do in Windsor Terrace, the poster fearful of a “fedders atrocity”is right to be worried. Someone just bought an old frame house down the block from me on Vanderbilt. The front was covered with asbestos shingles. Their solution: slap on that crappy-looking brick that they build Fedders buildings out of. Made me want to cry.
Bring on the flu. It’s a coming, so hold your breff (as they say in da hood)
That place has been tumble down way more than 20 years, and I believe it was sold as a dumpster briefly appeared outside about two months ago. I also live nearby and hope it isn’t torn down for a fedders atrocity.
Maybe the old man is just there in spirit. Boo!
ah, yes… [wringing hands together] … come, sweet avian flu! So many restoration opportunities await!
“It looks like it has the potential to be a pretty sweet bachelor pad with that ground-level parking space and proximity to the park.” Eesh…sounds a bit grave-robber-ish to me.
I heard the same old man story – but also was told that it sold in less than a day a few months ago – I did notice someone with a tape measure on the lot a couple of weeks ago??? – We just moved in down the street on 16th between 10th/11th – it has lots of potental and it so close to the park
