What does $629,000 buy you in Bed Stuy these days? Well, take your pick. On the left we’ve got 369 Bainbridge, a three-story, 2,400-square-foot house that’s been in the same family for decades; the two-family has lots of original details and a new roof. We also have to give the broker the Most Honest Listing of the Year award for volunteerting the fact that the house is “across the street from public housing.” On the right we have 163 Pulaski Street, a two-family brownstone that has one floor and 1,000 square feet on the Bainbridge house. Unlike the Bainbridge listing, however, this broker has the wrong photo listed. The house was also bought last summer for $555,000 by a flipper who financed it with $700,000 in debt. Hmmmm. Anyway, which of these looks like the better deal to you?
