There’s much to love about living on 12th St.: Excellent neighborhood bar up at 8th Ave.; all-night greasy diner at 7th Ave.; two nearby wine shops; GRAB (fill my growler!); plenty of strollers to “accidentally” kick outside of Union Market, etc.
Things to hate: The trashy locals near 7th Ave. who hang out on their stoop all day, every day that the temperature is above 40F; AND the stuffed-animal graveyard in front of the house at 364 12th--which is now for sale for $1.2 million smackaroos.
Look, I get it. This bizarro stuffed animal homage has character, it’s funny, etc. But there are plenty of good ways to make a home unique and pleasant to walk by. They’re called trees and bushes. These stuffed animals are so ratty and filthy, they look like they’ve been sitting there since when poor people actually lived in Park Slope.
Eyesore, yes, but you’d think that even despite the crap real-estate market at least someone would be willing to cough up $1.2 mil for their very own building—not apartment, building—in the middle of the most expensive neighborhood in Brooklyn? I mean, right?
Alas, I think the stuffed animals will be sitting there—rotting and playing host to whatever live critters dwell among them—for a long, looong time to come.
Why? Have a look at some the interior shots of the house, on Fillmore.com.
Seriously!? $1.2 million for this shit? It looks like someone from the Nixon administration was once raped inside there...while those spooky lookin stuffed animals watched.
Check out these rooms with the wood paneling (and the cross on the wall!). Holy…cult…meeting. Clearly a serial killer once resided here.
Remind me if/when I ever have $1.2 million to spend on A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G, that it should not be on something that looks like this...especially when all the stuffed animals in the neighborhood go the front yard to die.
[ed. note: Also, WHAT THE FUCK is that stuffed animal graveyard??? What???].
