From the print edition of yesterday’s NY Times.
The Times listing is wrong. It was listed for 1.2m and sold for 1.15m about 6 wks. later. My wife and I had offered 1.125 originally, then someone else came with a full-price offer and we dropped out after saying we’d offer 1.15m if deal fell through. 3-4 wks. later we were told the orig. buyer dropped out. We got the house for 1.15m. The market was such that this was a good deal. We’d been looking for 1 year and looked a hundreds of houses. We plan to restore the front to original siding. One super feature is the garden is quiet and very private, meaning no condos or future construction going on. Alot of detail left in house. We love the area and had no choice but to pay what the market called for.

Did this really run in the NY Times on Feb 2nd? I don’t see this on the NY Times Web at all.
To anon at 10:38–I am with you 100 percent–I hate it when people pay over $1 million to live here and then complain there are no amenities–if this area isn’t for you, choose another and let people who have been loyal through the really down times stay where they appreciate home! And, yes, locals knew it as Windsor Terrace 40 years ago–tho even people from other parts of Brooklyn called it Park Slope–even in historic WT around Greenwood–but we knew better!
I own 4 stroy brickstone soon to be 5 story in CENTER slope and a Victorian one in Ditmas Park, very close to the park, one block below Albemarle mansions. My wife likes the slope better my kids as well because of the fact that their friends are in the slope.
I rather live in my huge victorian 50’x110′ with a long 6 car driveway (not having to wake up in the morning to move the car chased by the traffic police, 5 min late and bingo 100 bucks short) and a yard big enough to build extra mother and doughter appt. above the garage and play basketball.
not to mention the big dog I have that runs free in the country style yard surrounded by 5 immense 50′ trees that
shades the house during the summer in such efficiancy that below 90 degrees outside I do not need any A/C.
The house in Ditams are so big you can Play football inside in the winter with your kids. Which I often do.
How is wanting to raise a family in the Slope a bad thing? Losing its soul? The $800 stroller rant is as tiresom as the where does the Slope begin and end argument.
anon 10:38, new york is and has always been full of people who moved from somewhere else, took over neighborhoods and drove up the prices. If it weren’t it’d still be an indian encampment.
just to give you an insiders view, i grew up in windsor terrace and we all knew where it began and ended. it was partially with attitude but mostly at 15th street and prospect park west. most people in new york had never heard of windsor terrace so you’d have to reference it with park slope, but the second you did some slopie at the party would call you out for being from windsor terrace then you’d be left to back peddle and explain. now people are still confused. you want to know where windsor terrace is? it’s in the heart of the locals, fine upstanding families who i still stop on the street to talk to leisurely and joyfully. now i can’t afford a house where i grew up. my advice to you is if you don’t understand this neighborhood please go somewhere else and drive up the prices there.
Was the neighborhood really called Windsor Terrace 40 years ago? Just asking.
I know the horse is long dead, but that house is not in Windsor Terrace, and it hostorically would never have been considered Windsor Terrace. In fact, up until about 40 years ago, the meaty and pretty nice part of Windsor Terrace up until about 10th or 11th avenues and Sherman Street was called Park Slope–it even retains Park Slope’s zip code and phone exchanges–but I think landmarking as well as sort of bonds between people shrank Park Slope and enlarged Windsor Terrace, which was the lower part of the hill.
