  1. I saw something on Kent street for 1.9 million. Drove by and loved the block. The price seemed a bit high, but given what condos are going for I am wondering if it is a good deal (of coruse I need to see the inside, but I hear it has a big back yard and a rental on the gorund floor)

  2. The Greenpoint house had SOME detail, not a lot. What it had a lot of were holes in the ceilings and floors. Sadly, the place was neglected. As it’s a gut reno, lot of the detail would be lost.

  3. The Greenpoint house was undersold, the realtor had a bad winter and needed a quick sale. This house has a lot of beautiful detail. A friend of mine a few blocks away had him appraise her house to sell and he told her 550,000 and she sold it on Craigslist for 880,000
