PLG House Sells for $1.65 Million!

A reader got in touch to tout the strength of the Prospect Lefferts Gardens housing market these days. He mentioned 20 Midwood Street, shown above, which we featured as a House of the Day last month: The dreamy limestone sold quickly for $1.65 million after being listed for $1,780,000, which our reader says is the second-highest sale ever in the neighborhood, following the $1.665 million sale of 52 Midwood Street. In fact, he’s calling it the highest PLG sale in five years! Meanwhile, our tipster also notes that a House of the Day we featured a couple of years ago, 136 Hawthorne Street, is back on the market and asking $1,150,000. Back in ’09 it was listed for $995,000. As our tipster notes: “The house is turnkey and beautifully renovated, though a bit small. If it can get that price it’ll be a strong indicator for PLG outside the historic district.” All of this talk of gorgeous PLG real estate is making us eager for the neighborhood’s annual house tour, which should only be a few months away at this point.
