I’m a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn, living on Staten Island for over 25 years. S.I. has plenty of safe quiet neighborhoods on the east and south shores. In those areas a 1-family home can be had for between $550k and $700k. That’s ‘cheap’ for NYC. The commute is of course longer if you choose to use the express buses, the fare is $6.50 one-way on a comfortable coach style bus. The SI Railway to the SI Ferry is cheaper at the standard $2.50 but it’s a 2-seat or 3-seat trip into Manhattan depending where you work. You need a car on S.I. but if you live near good shopping you can possibly live without one. However that car you need will be easy to park as nearly all S.I. homes have a driveway and S.I. does not have Alternate Side Parking restrictions, except on a handful of narrow streets to allow for the new wider DSNY trucks.

No matter what borough you’re interested in check out the NYPD crime stats and if possible visit the neighborhood at night to see if there are any problems that aren’t apparent in the daytime.

I checked yesterday at the time to drive using google maps and the time to drive and then take the redline from NoHo to 7th St. Not taking into account waiting time for the train or the time to walk from 7th St to your ultimate destination, it was a similar time driving on the 5 from Burbank and taking an uber to to the redline. So one option is a clean, quiet car ride by a personal driver, and the other is having to ride on the Metro with the public and deal with walking to your ultimate destination. Like I said, once you are in the car it’s not worth getting out.

There is a driveway (Google the address) but it seems like it’s a common driveway that you share with other homes.

Agree about NYCHA being so close. For me, that’s a deal breaker. Shame because it’s a lovely house.

Massive TOD between Rudolph Rd. NW and Elaine Ave NW.

Two alternative Green line extensions towards the NW. Also potential for a new line to connect NW back towards Arts Center and run Downtown to Airport. One of the NW lines could loop Cumberland to Doraville if we want to get real crafty or both could just head up toward Marietta. Take the theoretical lines and general walk sheds with a grain of salt:

Also, the idea that it is now open to the public is laughable. The gates are still always locked except when the media shows up. You can see this even on Google Maps – in broad daylight, the gates are locked tight on both sides in September 2017.

The new front yard and driveway configuration since the last sale in 2012 have really done this place some good. For those bemoaning the lack of covered parking, I’m pretty sure there is alley access to the garage.

OMG the "yard" is sad!!! "For the homeowner who enjoys a challenge!"

The rest of the "rooms" look like public spaces. So cozy…….. not!

The dressing room looks like a Soho boutique— where where is it on the map? Yes, these should be called maps, not floor plans, given enormous scale. I can’t find anything that could correspond.

Agreed. A much better feel than the Curbed selected photos. I’d also recommend a close look at the Google Maps view – really shows the property off from three sides. I’m more a fan of the landscape and exterior of the house than the interior.

The location is at the bottom of the Arroyo de Los Reyes, that shallow canyon that drains through Echo Park from out of the Elysian Hills. There is a high water table along the bottom of the canyon. Hazard maps indicating the danger of soil liquefaction from sustained seismic shaking indicate that this site is problemmatic. The developer should plan on the necessity of excavating down to bedrock and setting the foundation mat for this structure directly on bedrock, not on pilings. Pilings descending through relatively unconsolidated, water saturated soil subject to liquifaction are a non starter – particularly for what would be the tallest building in western North America.
