Given the lack of decent-sized photos on the StreetEasy listing and the total lack of photos on the broker website, the broker behind this new listing at 53 Decatur Street in Bed Stuy doesn’t deserve the publicity but luckily for him there’s enough original woodwork on display that we can’t help ourselves. That said, from what we can see when we squint our eyes, the renovation, while thorough, looks a little characterless. (Granite counters: Just say no!) Anyway, your guess is as good as ours as whether there’s enough original detail to make this place worth the $749,000 asking price. Probably worth a look though.

  1. it’s so dumb to say that granite counters are tacky, does Mr. B. realize how many readers he is insulting?
    In terms of this listing, it seems nefarious. written in code.
    giant caution lights.

  2. Granite counters/recessed lights = tacky flashy over renovation. But fear not. Usually when a broker says “granite counters” that means plastic lookalike granite counters.

  4. White marble salvaged from the bathroom of an old theater in the west 40’s. More important than the color or the provenance, they are not shiny!
