Bed Stuy

House of the Day: 314 Jefferson Avenue

Here’s an architecturally distinguished four-story brownstone with all the trimmings in the proposed Bedford Historic District of Bed Stuy that appears to be in move-in condition.

Here’s an architecturally distinguished four-story brownstone with all the trimmings in the proposed Bedford Historic District of Bed Stuy that appears to be in move-in condition. Our listing doesn’t have photos yet, but if you click through to the Keller Williams site, the photos show super-elaborate Queen Anne/Eastlake-style wood work in two tones that doesn’t look as if it’s ever been painted, elaborate fireplaces to match with colorful tile, stained glass, pier mirrors and built-ins.

The kitchens and bathrooms appear to have been updated fairly recently, although the listing doesn’t mention anything about mechanicals. It does, however, say the house has solar panels. It’s currently configured as a rental apartment over an owner’s triplex.

There is an open house scheduled from noon to 2 pm this Sunday. Considering what similar unrenovated properties have been going for recently, do you think the ask of $1,500,000 will fly?

  1. No to be a debbie downer, but whatever happen to the “Insider”. It really comes across as if this blog has turned into a pawn for all of these pricey listings… providing additional publicity driving up the market. I miss the grass roots aspects of this blog. I guess the closest thing we have to this now is MM section of the blog…What up with that?

  3. Thanks Cate for the response. I really appreciate it.
    Brownstoner in my eyes is a platform that has the potential of impacting the types of fads we see develop in home remodeling and in turn the types of properties that come to market. Hopefully you will be able to forge a way to bring this section back in some capacity. The amount of comments received by those post should be evidence of their importance to this blog. – Also the awards you all have received in terms of the attention brought to restoration, I’m certain is linked to that aspect of this site.

  4. Cate, with all due respect. This site’s content has a lot more one sided than what it once was. Ie: The Insider – Which has yet to return though you said something similar would replace it a almost a year ago.

    Site Mission: “Brownstoner is the leading site about Brooklyn real estate and renovation”
    No one had seen a renovation covered by Brownstoner in who know how long…and the way things look may never see one again. Those stories you all use to put together were really strong and also inspiring, now it’s as if you have become a slave driver for the Developers and Realtor’s

  8. I agree about the shifting focus of the site. We’ve talked about this before. The site has “gentrified”.

    My preference is for less Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope trophy properties, which are now so indistinguishable from the Upper West Side, and more about further flung Brooklyn neighborhoods. I’m shopping almost completely south of Ft Hamilton parkway and Parkside Ave, areas rarely covered here apart from Ditmas Park. And yes, I think it’s completely acceptable to call Flatbush, East Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, and Borough Park “Brownstone Brooklyn”. There are rows of turn of the century houses there. They are attached, semi-detached, and detached.
