Bed Stuy Brooklyn House for Sale -- 361 Quincy Street

This newly renovated Bed Stuy brownstone offers something you don’t see every day — a swimming pool. And not one of those low-rent above-ground round numbers, either, but an actual in-ground heated swimming pool in the rear, laid out with stone-tile decking and a white canopy.

Also in the not-your-average-bear department: The basement has been turned into a movie screening room, with an overhead projector and surround sound.

Clearly the renovators here have gone the extra mile in the hope of fetching top dollar, and they’ve priced accordingly, at $1,995,000. That’s notably higher than the average neighborhood flip, and the house is not particularly large.

It’s a three-story house, laid out as a two-family. Above is a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath owner’s duplex with a deck, below is a rental with two small bedrooms. As mentioned, the theater is in the basement — it can be accessed from the duplex without going through the rental, but not without exiting and reentering the house.

With the finishes they’re aiming for distinction — note the offbeat LED-lit accent wall in the living room, the ornate lighting fixtures, the brash tile scheme in the kitchen, the marble-tiled spa-like baths. (The listing, from Corcoran brokers Jessica White and Daniel Cohen, notes also that the “builder took great care in curating the space with custom closets throughout.”)

Of course not every buyer is going to love that offbeat LED-lit accent wall or those kitchen tiles, just as not every buyer wants to trade a backyard for an in-ground pool. On the other hand, it only takes one. (Ideally one who likes screened entertainment; in addition to the movie theater there are two built-in flat screen TVs.)

Whether the sellers stand to land their ask or near it is another matter. What do you think?

  1. They meant well…I think. This place is full of missed opportunities. When will these flippers learn??? If you want to ask $2M in a $1.2-$1.6 area you have to Bing your a game! Kitchen tile is just not aesthetically pleasing, the pool is in the wrong place, the the stonework around pool looks wrong, the basement ‘movie palace’ is only accessible from the exterior…At this price point, in this section of the BStuy everything should be On Point.
