House of the Day: 212 Midwood Street
The interior of this brownstone at 212 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens has been beautifully renovated. The big question, then, is whether that’s enough to compensate for the fact that the house has only two above-ground floors (plus an English basement). The asking price is $979,000, which would fly if there were another floor,…

The big question, then, is whether that’s enough to compensate for the fact that the house has only two above-ground floors (plus an English basement). The asking price is $979,000, which would fly if there were another floor, but we’re not optimistic given its actual size. Thoughts?

I’m not that impressed with the renovation. It looks like a lot of the original detail has been lost. There have been other LM houses this size that have sold for more, but they had considerably more detail. I’m happy to see they still have the tiny 4th bedroom and the pass through closet on the top floor, though!
Chicken,
At the peak houses just like this were selling for 1.1 mil. This one should do fine given that almost all the other two story houses in the Manor are in contract. The Manor has a market all its own!
Ditmas Park and Midwood don’t border Prospect Park. And you have to spend at least another ten minutes on the train to get there.
Tyburg6, are you cribbing ideas from “This Old Whore House” videos posted in the Open Thread a few days back? Handy tips in there for the shower and other mods.
tybur6, I’m in!
Do you want the money in a suitcase as per usual protocol or should I Western Union it to your office in Nigeria?
I like this place although needs an extra bathroom and a 1/2 bath on the first floor.
Seems like the price is too high for the area though – even at the peak it was barely breaking a million for larger places (not in as nice condition though).
DIBS, don’t know if those floors are engineered but they do look like the solid oak tongue and groove flooring I had laid a few years back.
And the old queen not yet 109 years dead! 🙂
This is PLG: you mean Rita Marley is dead!?
tybur6,
A brothel… err… massage parlor, in LEFFERTS MANOR??
Even more SHOCKING than your use of abbreviations!
AFAIK our restrictive covenant bans ANY commercial use
There have to be STANDARDS–I’m sure James Lefferts would be turning in his grave if he knew of this.
