House of the Day: 591 Putnam Avenue

At first glance, we were pretty excited to see this detail-laden brownstone listed for only $650,000 $549,00. Then reality set in. For the longterm owner who’s up for a major project, this still is probably one of the cheapest ways to get their hands on an old brownstone. For someone who’s looking at this with the unemotional detachment of an investor, you have to wonder whether you want to be paying a million bucks when all’s said and done for a house in this location. How does that stack up to recent comparables in the immediate vicinity? Update: The price must’ve just been cut. At $549,000 it certainly does look interesting.
