This monster of a home (5,500 square feet) at 1907 Ditmas Avenue in Ditmas Park looks pretty sweet to us: Lots of well-preserved detail, large rooms, big corner lot. Whether it’s worth the $1,700,000 remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure, though—Even if it doesn’t go for the asking price, the folks who bought it for $848,500 in 2003 stand to make a pretty penny!

  1. Commute is a non-issue. The stops out here are closer together than PPS, PLG and PH. which means less of a walk to the station. Also, Newkirk and Church Avenue are both express stops. If you time it, you can board the local train at Beverley or Cortelyou and arrive at Church Ave with the express where you change over.

    Yes, I pay a little more than my friends in Brownstones for heat about 10% more but I don’t circle my block looking for parking, neither do my guests nor do I pay monthly storage facility rental fees to hold stuff that I don’t have room for in my house.

    I would have more than doubled my commuting time – but didn’t have to, just for the joy of coming home and letting my kids run barefoot in a huge grassy back yard complete with swing set and jungle gym or just to sit on the front porch catching a cool summer breeze under a 100 year old London Plane. Some people have the need to roll out of bed into their favorite restaurant or to be up the block from their favorite bar. It is all a matter of what is important to you.
