House of the Day: 392 Waverly Avenue

392waverly032207.jpg
Flip-o-rama! This attractive three-story brick house on Waverly between Gates and Greene was picked up by the current owner last summer for $985,000. After, presumably, some cosmetic (and possibly more) improvements, it’s back on the market at $1,595,000. Hey, why not? The parlor floor of this two-family house is just a few steps up from street-level, making the “English basement” a bit of a stretch. As for the interiors, there are some nice old details and floors intact; we also can’t get our heads around why a flipper would put in such weird sinks when a classic porcelain pedestal would have done the trick. And the asking price of $1,595,000? Possible, but we think probably overshooting by a hundred grand or so.
