House of the Day: 786 Putnam Avenue
This house at 786 Putnam Avenue is a real charmer. Tons of original detail, including some beautiful parquet floors and a killer staircase. The house is also located in just outside Stuyvesant Heights, the longtime-landmarked section of Bed Stuy with one of the most incredible and well-preserved stock of old houses anywhere. The house is…
This house at 786 Putnam Avenue is a real charmer. Tons of original detail, including some beautiful parquet floors and a killer staircase. The house is also located in just outside Stuyvesant Heights, the longtime-landmarked section of Bed Stuy with one of the most incredible and well-preserved stock of old houses anywhere. The house is only three stories, though, so it’ll be interesting to see if it fetches its asking price of $799,000. We bet it’ll get pretty close.

All are welcome, Nomi!
I just remembered to check this. Yay! Can’t wait. Am I too big for the dumbwaiter?
P.S. Rides in the dumbwaiter for the kiddies.
Yes, Nomi, it has always been my dream to be a docent in a historical reenactment museum. When we are finished with our non-renovation, we will be sure to let you know where you can buy tickets.
Crownlfc…as we determined above, it’s less than 10 minutes from the A train and you walk up Stuyvesant Ave from Fulton Park.
Block is decent but towards the corner of Malcolm X is sketchy, the usual characters hanging out. Apart from a small cafe, absolutely nothing, no decent groceries, sit down restaurants, nowhere near the A-train, and walking on Malcolm X after hours is never fun.
“If you have a one family and don’t need to put the kitchen on the parlor floor, I really like the old-fashioned approach of keeping it near the garden. Keeps all that messy coal and firewood out of sight.”
So, mopar, you’ll be using firewood in your new (old) kitchen on your cast iron wood burning stove? You have to chop up the pieces pretty small for some of those old stoves. You’re gunna get muscles.
Will you be dressed in turn-of-the-century garb?
Wow, 810 K!
I would have put in $650,000 if I were allowed to vote. My theory is that it’s worth $100K more than the other not as nice ones. Then again, someone may come along and pay $720,000. Who knows. I’m sure they spent more, but no matter what you spend, you’re not going to change the price scale of a particular location.
Thanks Denton, I’ll check.
ringo, you are dead wrong. wired is far faster and more stable than wireless. And the point is, it’s almost free to wire if you are doing other work, so why not do it. Like Mopar said, you can still add a wireless router to the mix if you choose. Or a slingbox or whatever. I wired my house for two phone lines, one cable line, and one ethernet port in every room.
BTW I put 810k in the widget.
Mopar, I’ll email you about the wiring and another thing or two.
