We’ve given the Pratt Area Community Council a lot of grief for tearing down the old brownstone on Washington Avenue and replacing it with a hulking new apartment building and we continue to wince whenever we look down the block. But it’s important to remember that the group does have a long history of restoring houses that have been abandoned and/or neglected. The group just started taking applications on the latest batch of homes — nine in all — that it has fixed up. The big prize, as far as we can tell, is 435 Waverly Avenue (shown here in its realier condition). Some lucky person (who makes less than $161,817) is going to walk away with this place for the low, low price of $600,000! Granted it’s only a 15-footer and it’s gotta be all new construction on the interior, but that’s a huge score no matter how you slice it.
