House of the Day: Would You Midwood?

argyleHere’s another place east of Prospect Park for under $1 million. Located on Argyle Road in West Midwood, this is pushing the boundaries of how far out we’d consider living, but you do get such surburban amenities as a front lawn and a 2-car garage. This particular freestanding Victorian also has a lot of original exposed oak wodwork, original parquet floors and some stained glass windows. (For some reason, we’re not loving stained glass these days. A little too precious maybe? Dunno.) Real estate taxes look a little higher than for much of brownstone Brooklyn too. Not sure about the nearest subway service or other infrastructure either. You can find out for yourself whether this place is worth the $925,000 asking price at the open house on Sunday from 1-3pm.
