That exterior shot of the houses is lovely. -- nm - mara Jan 17, 11:58
I love doing this. Here's a Google Streetview of one of the houses pictured. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 11:42 13
- Here's another. This neighborhood is *gorgeous*. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 11:46 12
  - Say I've got a zillion dollars and I own one of these houses, how long is my commute into Manhattan? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 11:56 10
    - 30 minutes or so. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:58 2
      - 30-45, depending on where you're going, yeah. -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 11:59 1
        
        I'd be okay with it. An hour is my cutoff. Anything longer is too long for me. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 12:01
    - depends on how far you are from the train, and whether you work in downtown or midtown Manhattan. -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 11:57 6
      - Right. But most of the neighborhoods should leave you with about a half hour ride to midtown. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:59 5
        
        As you know, they're not deep into Brooklyn and it shouldn't be a long commute. It'll depend on which train line is nearby. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 12:00 4
        
        I know, I lived in these neighborhoods. :) -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 12:03 3
        
        (some of them, at least) -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 12:05 2
        
        You guys should move back. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 12:06 1
        
        yeah, not gonna happen. - znufrii Jan 17, 12:11
  - I lived 4 buildings down from here -- (link) - znufrii Jan 17, 11:51
I don't often see the layout where rooms adjoin other rooms. - con_carne Jan 17, 11:36 9
- i like when all the pubic rooms connect like that, but i like bedrooms removed a little down a hall. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:43 6
  - I guess it could just be the last room -- nm - con_carne Jan 17, 11:51 3
    - it could be, depending on where the 'living room' is. i don't like bedrooms off living rooms (unless it's some tiny place with no option.) -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:52 2
      - Most brownstones have the living room in the front with the kitchen attached. There's usually a long, narrow hallway from - Krusty Jan 17, 12:03
      - (or you live alone, then, who cares? no-one is going to be watching tv 3 feet from the bed while you are trying to sleep...) -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:52
  - ack! public! -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:45 1
    - Uhm... those really should be kept private. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 11:50
- I like them adjoining. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 11:42
- You would hate our house, then. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 11:37
that house in Bed Stuy is amazing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 11:30
nice! -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 11:29
Very cool! -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:24
also - those places are huge. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:17 7
- Most appear to be brownstones. Those can be quite spacious. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:25 5
  - We don't have enough urban living like that. Even apartments have to have either a yard or retail or an ugly ass car park on the first floor -- nm - con_carne Jan 17, 11:47
  - I was in one once years ago that was in the Beacon Hill section of Boston... - Mel Profit Jan 17, 11:30 2
    - Yup. I love them! They're stupid expensive. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:57
    - any ghosts? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 17, 11:33
  - yep -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 11:29
- Yeah, and very interesting & decorated. I don't delve into any of that in my house. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 11:18
segregation? -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 11:15 1
- Heh. That was my first thought, too. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 11:17
