BedSty house needs a ton of work, the top floor, an addition sometime after orig house was built is not as seen in floorplans, much smaller. The water stains and cracked plaster on the ceiling cry out for repairs and the carpet on the 4th floor is covering some kind of 60’s plastic tile.
Not as advertised and $100K overpriced, did I mention the “stained glass door window” is broken and in pieces?
I posted at 9:48. I don’t “have it in” for Sunset Park. I was just being honest about how some neighborhoods including Sunset Park, have been neglected in recent decades. It’s hard to believe a house is “mint” as the realtor describes it, when Sunset Park is just now barely starting to attract the kind of homeowners who have the money and the desire to do a gut renovation. That’s all. In most parts of Brooklyn if you buy a house, you’re buying one that needs a lot of work. There’s very very little inventory that’s “mint”.
Wait a minute, didn’t the Bloomberg administration support a very postitive show about all the great things that Robert Moses did for this city? Are you trying to tell me that taking away people’s private property isn’t always great for New York? You sound like those people who want to stop the Ratner plan. I say let them chop apart another couple of neighborhoods and bulldoze it all and start from scratch. City planners know better than the rest of us!
You can thank Robert Moses for making so many of the blocks in Sunset Park less than desirable. Area residents begged him to put the BQE on 2nd Ave. He insisted on 3rd Ave, for no particularly good reason (he claimed he was going to use the infrastructure from the elevated train that had been superceded by the underground at 4th Ave, but that structure was never really suitable for a highway and was ultimately torn down). What were once very nice blocks between 4th and 3rd are now air quality nightmares, between the heavy traffic on 4th and the elevated highway. 3rd Ave. was once a thriving commercial street — there was the usual commerce beneath the elevated. But no one wants to shop under a six lane highway.
The posters to this site (the regular ones, anyway) seem always to have it in for Sunset Park. Why I don’t know because it’s a wonderful part of Brooklyn.
Nobody has mentioned the Sunset Park house and everyone was so hot on Sunset Park a few months ago. Is that still the case? It’s a pretty building, from the exterior at a distance. The description says “mint condition” but because realtor did not show interior photos it’s suspicious. It’s hard to believe a house down in the 50’s in Sunset Park is “mint” at that price in the first place, and without photos it’s like, come on. Doesn’t real estate school include a class on writing descriptions that are effective sales tools AND accurate and true? Seems not.
LOL
My eyes are hurting from looking at the maintenace on the Hicks Street apartment. With that number, I’d say the place is about $400K overpriced.
Agreed, Ft. Greene is awesome. The only reason we ourselves didn’t buy there is because we couldn’t afford it. No part of Flatbush is that great, whichever neighbohood it’s in. It doesn’t reflect much about any given neighborhood, to say Flatbush is bad. Flatbush is skanky, it’s a given. It’s about time the city focused on doing something about it.
