Kings County Auctions off Brooklyn Homes

Kings County is auctioning off ten Brooklyn properties, all houses except for one mixed-use building, tomorrow. Most are estates; one house was in a fire. The open houses for the properties took place over the weekend. We anticipate a lot of interest in a Bed Stuy brownstone, a two-family wood frame in Bushwick, and a brick townhouse in Williamsburg. (That’s 51 Havemeyer Street, above.) Opening bids for the three are set at $370,000, $250,000 and $890,000, respectively. Participants must arrive at 12:45 to pre-register for the 2 pm auction at the Brooklyn Supreme Court Building at 360 Adams Street. They must bring a certified or bank check with 10 percent of the opening bid price and a blank check for the rest of the balance. Has anyone ever attended one of these? If anyone checks this out, let us know.

374 Harman Street.

574 Decatur Street.
