Anyone get into the 4th place house this weekend for a final review? I got swept up in housecleaning/eli manning and missed the open house…
I just wanted to address the poster who stated that 1239 Dean Street was in a “suspect” area. This happens to be a great block, with wonderful architecture as well as long time homeowners. Thank God that it will soon be protected by the LPC.
Agreed…concrete backyards dont look as nice but there are a lot of people who just dont have the time to be good gardeners. A backyard of ugly concrete looks better than a backyard of weeds. I have a similiar situation and appreciate the ability to add potted plants and lawn furniture when I want or to have nothing when I dont feel like maintaining.
Especially for southern exposure backyards…weeds will grow like wildfire.
This is something that’s easily changed so it’s not a downside to any property as a purchase, but looking at the Windsor Terrace house I had to bring up a peeve of mine. I really don’t understand all-concrete or all-brick backyards with no trees or shrubs or anything. Number one, it’s ugly. #2, even if you hose it off there’s always a nastiness to it that grass doesn’t have. Lastly a big factor is sound bounces off bricks or cement like it’s concert stadium right up into the windows of your house and surrounding houses. Neighbors can hear every word you say, when you’re sitting out on an all-brick or concrete yard. Our neighbors downstairs can literally be whispering and we can still hear what they are saying.
Windsor Terrace Howard house would be great if you did not feel the subway every 10-15 minutes or so.
The problem (as I see it) with the Adephi house is that they decided to tile all the way up the walls in the bath and kitchen. I think this takes it from tasteful to industrial. If those tiles stopped four feet up the rooms would look much better, I think
thanks for the info on the adelphi house, fortgreener. i thought that perhaps the family from beetlejuice had moved back to the city.
I saw 351 Adelphi @ open house last weekend. This property went on the market w/ Brooklyn Properties about a month ago @ $2.25 million and dropped to $1.9 within two weeks. Strategy? Realtity check? I don’t know. It is currently mid-renovation. Only parlor floor is done. Upper 2 floors still a construction zone, though upper floor bathrooms are close to done. Brokers say it will be delivered finished. All the bathrooms are very beautiful Waterworks tile & fixtures. The half bath off the kitchen/dining room in the picture is the least pretty of the bathrooms, but the only one finished, which I guess is why they photographed it — the others are gleaming white and gorgeous. Apparently the “flipper” owner is a kitchen & bath designer. That said, I didn’t care for the kitchen layout, but the finishes (white subway tile, honed slate (I think?) countertops, stainless appliances) were tasteful.
People don’t have to make some huge profit on rentals for it to make more sense than letting a place that won’t sell for a certain price, sit empty. Sellers only need enough to cover maintenance and mortgage. It’s New York City, rentals are ALWAYS in demand. Get real.
