Duffield Street house? Appraised at $2 million recently, but owner will entertain all offers over $799k? Prospect Heights? I don't think so. And I think they would've been better off NOT posting any interior pictures. But maybe it's just me - work is so dead today it's like watching paint dry.

that's not prospect heights...it's downtown bk right by the McDonalds and entrance to the Manhattan bridge. I believe they're about to build a huge apartment complex literally adjacent to this brownstone...might that take a toll on this building?

gotta be a lot of air pollution on that block with all the traffic nearby...no?

That house on Fenimore is right next door to the gorgeous brick house on the corner of Fenimore and Bedford that is being allowed by its ownter to fall down. I'm sure other people in the neighborhood know the full details of this, but I had alsways heard that the owner wanted to put a doctor's office in the house and when it wasn't allowed he just decided to let the place fall down. I thought it was the same owner of both houses.

Or maybe I am confusing it with the other corner house that has been "for sale" forever? Theowner of that one apparently has no intention of selling it either. I know of at least two people who have had home inspections done only to have the owner decide he wasn't going to sell it to them at the last minute. Very strange and sad for the house.

I could have commented on a house in Bed-Stuy, but I chose to act like an immature child instead.

I like ordering people around. It reminds me of how I was treated in prison.

babs, are you referring to the brick house on the NW corner of Midwood and Bedford?

That's the one the doctor next door bought from a widow many years ago, unsuccessfully tried to put offices in (against current zoning and Manor restrictions) then let decay for the last decade or whatever, occasionally putting its burnt-out, water-damaged and decaying shell up for sale for ridiculous sums ($900k, $800K etc.).

Not enough info or pics to know what the Bed Stuy place looks like. You have to walk each and every block in bed Stuy to get a feel for how you like it. If that house were on the same street but between Stuyvesant & Lewis it would have sold already at a higher price, that's ONLY 2 blocks west

Babs,

Jeffrey is correct about house on Midwood & Bedford being the one where the doctor hoped put an office. I agree with his other comments too.

I'm not certain, but I THINK the house at Bedford & Fenimore is still occupied. Perhaps it's a case of elderly residents who can't cope. In any case,it seems like a sad situation.

The writings are in the blog.

The ancients spent beau coup bucks 120 yrs ago on the brownstones listed from BS & CH. The lucky buyers to be will be very happy and will be tycoons in 30 yrs.

LOVE the exterior of the PLG house, but those floors! What were they thinking!

Posted by: Architerrorist at July 24, 2009 4:53 PM

The Dean street place looks interesting! Does anyone know if there are any great local places to go, grocery stores nearby? Cafes, etc?

Posted by: bklyn11238 at July 24, 2009 4:53 PM

Dave,

Your correct in saying that things are block specific in bedstuy at times, but Macdonough is an extremely quiet block. I have a friend who owns a BS on that same block and all the houses there are amazing, and its only 2 blocks away from "stuy heights". They might not get their asking price depending on the level of details but they should get close.

There's a Key Food on Nostrand and St. Mark's that's ok. The usual array of Nostrand Ave. salons, cheap houseware stores and takeout. Sadly, Nostrand isn't big on sit down places. There's also the ole gay relic of Starlight Lounge for drinks nearby on Bergen. Divey, but good no nonense drinks.

It's too much house for me but I'm digging the PLG place. The layout of the Bed Stuy place is unfortunate. Did I see a 4th floor kitchen but no bathroom?

Crown Heights house is on one of the nicest blocks in the area. Only 4 blocks to the A/C at Nostrand/Fulton, near banks, Superfoodtown at Restoration Plaza. Not much around Dean, but it really is only a 15 minute walk to Stuyvesant Hts, which has Peaches, Saraghina, and Bread Stuy. Tavern on Mostrand is about 8 blocks south on Nostrand and Union, easy walk from here. Or the restaurants on Franklin, which are also only a short walk away. Also close to Children's Museum, and you could walk to Bklyn Museum and the Park, or its 2 subway stops away on Eastern Parkway 3 train.

Long story short, nothing is right next door, but we are getting more all the time within walking distance. This house will only appreciate in value. It's been offered on the market before, I remember it being the HOD a while back, maybe over a year. They wanted a lot more then.

At the right price 50 Duff is interesting. One of the few places you can still buy prior to radical positive transformation of the surrounding area.
