We have been looking to buy a place in Bushwick, where we live, but stopped by the Corcoran Putnam Ave (near Throop) listing this weekend, which was part of the Bed-Stuy tour.

Wow! For only $100,000 more list price than the broken-down hovels in our neighborhood, you get an ornate Victorian mansion. The beauty of the houses around here and the hats on Sunday afternoon after church could make you weep.

I’m curious to hear from anyone who went on the tour or lives in the neighborhood about the housing stock, amenities, prices, and neighbors in the area. Also, is every house in this area a gigantic brownstone? They are actually too big for us. We need a two-family with all the living on one floor.

Also, did anyone else see the kitchen on Putnam? It was the best kitchen re-do I have ever seen. White marble and white cabinets. The adjacent powder room was also exquisite. I know the owners have posted on here before, so if you’re reading, wow, you did a magnificent job.
