Pretty sure the parking belongs to the other building — the listing agent’s home. And is it me, or has she had a LOT of the Brooklyn Heights listings in the last year. I know she’s always had her share, but I feel like she must carry half that office these days.
And that first year I was actually surprised at how low my gas bill was.
brooklynguy…I have a 3 story and have gas forced air. I keep it around 70 degrees. I pay about $1600-1700 for the whole year for gas and maybe another $500 or so for the common area electric that would include the blower.
DIBS – how much would you expect heating costs to be for President St.? (Not asking because I disagree that $4,980 sounds wrong, but because I honestly have no clue what the number should be.)
My biggest problems with the President St. house are that it seems to have been stripped of much of the original detail (based on the pictures) and that the house next door seems to have a giant extension in the back blocking light/views/openness in much of the garden (based on Google Maps).
NorthHeights, are you familiar with that very large carriage house on Grace Court Alley (south side in the middle of the lane)? It’s probably at least 50% larger than #20. It was gorgeous inside, yet, a couple of years ago, the owners decided to gut it. It’s been under renovation forever. I’m sure it will be stunning once complete. They have a giant roof deck too. Owner is a very nice, young guy (think he works at Corcoran). At Halloween, he dresses as Bob the Builder and he usually gets 25 or 30 pumpkins and carve them all up very creatively. The kids love it.
20 Grace Court Alley is a great house, I saw it on the house tour. From a pricing perspective I think it’s quite rich – they paid top of the market a few years back and then did a high-end renovation so they’re trying to get their costs back. Still probably the right strategy and they’ll end up in the middle, right around $3.0.
Biff, you’re quite in the know on the local address book.
18 Willow Place was HOTD in March 2009 – listing price hasn’t changed so nothing new to add.
DIBS, that makes sense. I use to have this fantasy about having a brownstone and renters to help pay the mortgage. After being in New York for two years and hearing all my my friends (who are normally level headed) complain about every little thing in their apartment to the landlord. I want to come home and escape, not know that there are two other sets of people that may be looking for me to fix their [____]. It no longer becomes a santuary. I know this is the the average experience, but there are so many renter nightmare stories it scares me to have to deal with that situation even if only for a year.
Yes, Brooklyn Chicken, they did an incredible job with that bathroom. Ensuite master bathroom is a must-have for me. Nothing classier than white carrera either. The corner whirlpool is a bit ostentatious thougfh!!!
“That’s quite a bathroom in the Williamsburg house.”
I hope the chandelier above the bathtub is secure. Otherwise someone having a relaxing bubble bath might be in for quite a shock.
