Did anyone go to the 2nd St. house? Just noticing that the ceilings appear to be pretty low, looks like they must be around 8 feet judging by the front door. That could feel oppressive.
I love the South Oxford House. Love it. The kitchens and bathrooms aren’t necessarily what I would have done, but they’re nice enough to live with for a long time. The garden is lovely and the house is adorable. I am not in the market for anything, nor could I afford it, but if I could…I have a thing for well-proportioned small houses.
H3 Hummer, cute. I really like that one, though. Have been thinking about it since it was HOTD. I could live there for the rest of my life. Or a while, anyway. Couple, no children, no friends — perfect. Room for home office, studio, occasional guest, parties (with no friends) — perfect. Except the price. Price not perfect.
“What a joke!”
Every listing on this blog is a joke. $1.35M for that four-story hallway on South Oxford or $1.125M for that H3 Hummer on 2nd St. All jokes. This madness has to end.

I lived in what I thought was Clinton Hill, Grand between Greene and Gates, from 1989 to 2007. Many old-timer passers-by called it Bed-Stuy.
I guess I’d call this place Clinton Hill, but Classon Ave. is a speedway on the way to the BQE.
I’ve been in the South Oxford house. I would say it is actually very nice inside.
I think it makes a nice house for the right family who can affort it.
It’s been tastefully done and finished out. I could see it being really gorgeous all fitted out with great furnishings. That said, it’s not the house for me.
I do prefer our 20+ foot house. Our house is not terribly deep either (very standard front and back parlors for the width of house) so there’s nice light.
That said, on a recent reconnaissance mission at one of the open houses, I didn’t find the narrowness that bad. Some of the rooms were only a little smaller than those in our house since this house has that central stairwell.
The Carroll Gardens house is TINY! My, my!
All in all, must admit, the prices are all a bit high.
Good weekend All!
LOL Babs!
I’m so ready when middle of the road houses in middle of the road neighborhoods return to middle of the road prices. The Veranda house is nicest so in the real world maybe 600K for it and the mid 300’s for the rest. Why banks are still lending over $417K on anything middle of the road in Brooklyn is beyond me. Oh yeah, they’re not really – except in rare cases when people are putting down 55% or more. That Bed Stuy house in person is apartment grade – the pictures really make it look a LOT better than reality. I’d say mid 300’s is actually too high for it.
@brg Actually, what better thing to do if you’ve just come back from the dead (but after brunch, of course!)? But wasn’t His Dad the original RE Agent — “In My Father’s house are many mansions.”
