House of the Day: Lefferts Looker

houseWe’re loving this brick beauty from the outside but are a little worried by a few things in the ad on Craigslist. First of all, there are no interior pics but there is extensive language about the extent of the highly customized reno that was performed over the last two years. Call us cynics, but we’d say the odds are that the purchasing public will not put such a high value on the sellers slate bathroom that took two years to renovate or the hand-crafted book case or the marble floors. As nice as this place is from the outside, $1.799 million is a TON of moolah for a house in the Lefferts Garden Area, as the ad describes it. (The implication being that it’s not actually in Lefferts Gardens.) That said, this is probably a little cheaper on a per square foot than the new Lefferts South condos we discussed earlier today. Can anyone speak to the interior of this place? How about its exact location? And don’t forget, there’s an open house on Sunday from 2 to 4. Update: The address is 385 Parkside Avenue. Check out links to Bob Marvin’s photos in the comments.
