House of the Day: 37 Wolcott Street

37-Wolcott-Street-1208.jpg
This four-story house at 37 Wolcott Street has some old-school charm on the outside but, man, is it hurting on the inside. Currently configured as a lower owner’s duplex topped by two floor-through rentals, the house’s interiors are a mix of vinyl floors, dropped ceilings and baseboard heating, not exactly value enhancers in this or any market. The house is also located across the street from the Red Hook Houses and these two beauties next door at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street. On the more positive side, there aren’t that many brick and brownstone houses in the area that have their original facades intact. Given the rough shape it’s in and the less-than-stellar location, the asking price of $969,000 seems unrealistic right now. What do you think?
