Blue Christmas: Buy Nabeguy’s House

By on December 19, 2010 12:58 pm in Real Estate

We stumbled upon this post on Curbed and realized that it appears one of our super-commenters is ready to fly the coop:

Curbed: They just keep coming! Here’s another blue townhouse in Brooklyn Heights. This clapboard Greek Revival house on Middagh Street in North Brooklyn Heights is just over 3,000 square feet and on the market for $3,600,000. The house is 25×30 feet (with a 6 foot extension) but the lot stretches out 100 feet to include the garden and an adjacent 25×21 foot lot with room for up to 3 cars. The house itself looks like it’s in nice condition. The only thing we would change is that carpeting. What do you guys think? Is the price right?

It’s listed at Brown Harris Stevens and there’s an Open House today (Sunday 12/19) until 2pm.

    Nabeguy leaving Brooklyn Heights?!? Nah, I refuse to believe that, he IS Brooklyn Heights, all sense of continuity and nostalgia will be lost, please say it ain’t so!

    For what it’s worth folks, I’m not moving to a rest home, just a new one. I’ll strive to keep my memories intact and my fingers on the keys for as long as I can and Homer allows. And to answer the burning question, you’ll find me and my family on the north shore of LI, sending dispatches from America’s 73rd suburb.

    where? I grew up on the north shore of LI…:)

    Nabe – is this all about a middle school?

  • Tb

    I’m guessing this is absolutely about middle school. How has ps8 been for you?

  • justcurious

    nabe- How long have you lived in that house?

  • nabeguy

    Grew up there justcurious, so off and on for 54 years. And yes, the middle school issue is a factor. PS 8 has been a wonderful experience for my daughter, but it’s distressing that there is not an equivalent school (including IMHO, the private ones) any where even remotely nearby. Yes, we’ve looked at the district ones that are being touted (Fort Green Prep, Edmonds, ICE, even Mark Twain) but none of them are quite the fit we’re looking for. If we have to go through all of this angst just to find a middle school, I can only imagine what the junior and high school processes must be like and I certainly don’t want my daughter hop-scotching her way through the system and having to find new friends at each step simply because the DOE and city have been blind to the shifting demographics that have occured in the last 10 years.

    Nabeguy and fellow PS 8 parent, I share your middle school angst:

    To raise awareness and perhaps gather more data, I propose the BHB doing some type of piece on this problem, especially the aspect of losing our fond community members, and some type of survey that asks the question of how many parents/BHB readers are considering moving because this educational dead end.

    I know far too many friends moving over the matter but Nabeguy is certainly the surprise of the month. Never saw it coming.
