14k? Sold!! I suspect a few zeros are missing.
@ Jason
Ah! $14,000 is the rent for a month! I added that in brackets!
...if you have to ask, you can't afford it (as that old saying goes.) It is a cute house...but...gees.
The outdoor seating looks like crappy stuff though which is weird considering how much cashola must have gone into that house.
I was just looking at listings in northern New Hampshire where you can literally buy a house and land for that amount.
I love how the realtors describe it as 4 storey - when the pictures clearly show a 3 storey building with a basement/cellar.
Why do they lie so blatantly? Oh, yes, they are realtors
Thank you Grieveipedia.
Well if it's a country house in the city, screw the extra atelier...turn it into a tool shed. You'll need a place for the lawn mower and stuff.
Meh. Doesn't have a slide.
That looks so pretty and peaceful. That's what people used to crave in NYC, a peaceful place with strong walls to insulate them from the outside hustle and bustle. Now there are so many windows in new buildings it's like you're living in a diorama or maybe a cage at the zoo.
It was no doubt originally a single-family house, but probably was used as a mulitple dwelling for 150 years. This is the fourth multiple dwelling in this neighborhood being refitted as a single-family house (not including the Death Star which may still have a chance of attracting offices).
Is this the future of the neighborhood? Are we becoming Greenwich Village? This is not middle class talking here. This is 1% slumming.
Dunno, Rob. Maybe the Death Star will become a single family power dwelling one of these days. With a slide for Goggla's visits.
You know the old saw, People who live in glass houses shouldn't put the slide facing the window.
Maybe a slide will be installed after all...
