House of the Day: 142 Dean Street
This brick townhouse at 142 Dean Street just hit the market. It’s got lots of original charm and is 25 feet wide, which give it a shot at achieving the asking price of $2,750,000, we guess, but this really seems like boom-time pricing to us. We don’t think the current market can support it. That’s…

Bolder–“You’re 3 blocks from the best deli in NYC, according to New York mag..” What deli is that??

Should have had my coffee, sorry for the multiple posts, but I think RinTinTin is right; that sure looks like big, slightly off-center through-wall A/C unit in that bedroom, with a big of plastic or sheer fabric draped over the front of it.
Seems out of character for the house, but I can’t imagine what else that could be.
(I find the listing description of “greek revival” kind of funny. The level of greek-inspired detail/design seems on par with your local DKE house.)
Mario- I think it’s definitely a blog with an owner-ish focus (whether actual owners or aspirational), and while I appreciate neutrality as a goal in news or career government officials, I think I’d rather have some personality in my bloggery.
Though, for the record, I’m rooting for housing prices to continue to fall into the shitter.
So that i can buy one and demand that they rise again.
This is a seriously good location. You’re 3 blocks from the best deli in NYC, according to New York mag, and Atlantic in that area is perhaps now the best shopping strip in Brooklyn
Yeah, lots of uninformed nitpicking going on here. Great location, looks like a decent house … naysayers can always find something to say, though.

New around here?
😉
Is that a through-the-wall a/c unit they’re trying to hide between the windows in that one bedroom shot? I hope not.
Just a passing thought, and not an original one at it: but it’s pretty obvious by the giddy tone of the last line of today’s HOTD post that this is a website for and by realtors/owners with an obvious vested interest: “we wouldn’t mind being proved wrong” should read: “please, please, tell me that boom pricing is still possible!” By the same token “Buy now or be priced out foreverrrr!!” is right around the corner. IMHO, if you run a board you should be neutral and just let DIBS and BHO lead the two teams to a clean, entertaining fight.
