House of the Day: Bed Stuy Bargain?

BPBS3When our 2-year-old unexpectedly fell asleep while we were running an errand in Bed Stuy on Sunday afternoon, we found ourself with some extra time to drive around and explore the nabe. It’s amazing how dramatically the landscape can change block to block. This 3-story, 2,400 square foot listing from Brooklyn Properties looks like it is on one of the nice blocks. It also appears that much of the original detail remains intact, albeit in need of some TLC. The 3-story house is not particularly cheap at $215 a foot; on the other hand, you just don’t find older houses on the market for much less than this. What do you think? Is this a buy at $515,000?
Listing #166 [Brooklyn Properties]
