I think it's a beautiful comforting place. Love the dining area wall color, same as my bedroom walls, with matching curtains of course. Maintenance a bit steep but at least they're not asking for way more than what it last sold for. I believe will get under Asking, yet close to it. Anywho...A+
Fort Greene Co-op With Mantels, Laundry, Enclosed Terrace Asks $1.4 MillionI'd be disappointed by the Macy's closing were it not that the present store is but a very pale shadow of the old A&S.
Daily Links: Macy’s Likely to Shutter in DoBro Following Building SaleTownhouse prices go up, especially in NYC. Of course it’s happening in PLG’s historic district! We both know how amazing the houses are. It’s a 5 minute walk to Prospect Park and the Botanic Garden. And the Q & B express trains are here.
Updated PLG Row House With Striking Woodwork, Wall of Glass Asks $3.75 MillionA really good history; thank you Suzanne! Elaine and I are flattered to be mentioned towards the end. BTW, until I read this I was unaware that we benefited from the $100 million in community mortgage lending that the Ortners negotiated with Chase. We got our mortgage from Chase in 1974, a time when it was unusual to get a home mortgage from a commercial bank. None of the savings banks and savings and loans that we approached would even give us an application.
