#1 — $1300 — 3 bedrooms: Holy crap look at the details! Moldings and woodword and ironwork and a crazy chandelier! It’s cheap, but no word if the 3 bedrooms are railroad, and there’s a broker’s fee and a 2 year lease. Hancock near the L
#2 — $1200 — 2 bedroom: It’s a railroad but it’s the price of a big one bedroom — why not have a home office? Decent light, cool old fireplaces, nice wood floors. PETS OK Bushwick and Melrose
#3 — $1400-1475 — 2 bedroom: Slick kitchen, plain white new bathroom, on an attractive corner of Bushwick Avenue. PETS OK Bushwick and Bleecker
#4 — $1375 — 1 bedroom: Great corner, right near but not on top of the JMZ tracks, cool old building. Good light, exposed brick, cute little old fireplace. Bushwick and Myrtle
#5 — $1700 — 2 bedroom: Nice wood floors, bay window, decent kitchen, private yard (all concrete). Despite the listed location, it mentions “shopping on Myrtle Avenue” (?). Jefferson Avenue and Wilson

#1 is pretty sweet, a 2 year lease sounds like too much of a commitment, though it does guarantee you that cheeep rent for the next 2 years. i can’t tell if it’s a RR, seems like it might be unless it’s on the top floor so the hallway would be semi-private. but why did they paint all the trim that awful peach color?

Jimmy: What color trim did you house come with? Seems like that peach color is popular in Bushwick and Bedsty.

Mary, our trim was a gross orangeish color, the color of orange sherbet. so it’s darker than this, but still fairly peachy. must have been a sale on it at the local paint shop!

I thought your house had that color Jimmy. But the red floors in your place were your choosing!
The problem with that especially with railings is there is so many layers of chipping lead paint. You need to strip off the layers just to make it safe and paint or stain it nicely.
