this is why I love snarky! Now I have to spray for ants- ewwww. (after I stop laughing).
Perhaps someone is buying the BR home and going to renovate it?
I’ve seen some really “interesting” homes go from interesting to quite nice.
M4L:
do you want a 1 family?
there’s a really cute place on 15th street – #320 btwn 6th and 7th avenues
asking 965K- prob get it for 100K less!
11217 doesn’t comprehend that one goes through 20% before you go through 30, 40, 50. 11217 doesn’t comprehend that nycs fall just started. Conclusion? 11217 is an idiot.
If i had the scratch i would buy an empty lot in brooklyn and build a huge mc mansion ala MTV Cribs

ha ha DH. I can only see the new owner flipping a coin everytime before entering the house to decide which staircase to take :o).
Biff no kidding, when I saw the pic before seeing where the house was I went to myself “Oh, finally someone sells their Mill Basin home”. You wont see foreclosures hitting that hood.
Uh oh, I think I just got a time out.
Stop the snobbery!! Someone obviously likes that BR house very much to drop 2m+ on it. Brooklyn would be really boring if EVERY home was a brownstone.
