House of the Day: 1433 Avenue H
This roomy Edwardian in the Fiske Terrace West Midwood section of Flatbush looks absolutely adorable, move-in ready and it’s less — way less — than a million dollars. We’re crazy for the kitchen, the built-ins, the beams, the cozy fireplaces and the mid-century pink-and-black bathroom. Plus there’s a porch and a big backyard. The driveway is…
This roomy Edwardian in the Fiske Terrace West Midwood section of Flatbush looks absolutely adorable, move-in ready and it’s less — way less — than a million dollars.
We’re crazy for the kitchen, the built-ins, the beams, the cozy fireplaces and the mid-century pink-and-black bathroom. Plus there’s a porch and a big backyard. The driveway is shared and the listing does not mention a garage, though PropertyShark shows an outbuilding on the property.
There is a catch, however. The property abuts the elevated tracks for the Q line.
The house last sold for $535,000 in 2004. Now the ask is $835,000. What do you think of it?

I’ve been in many of the houses that back against the tracks. The noise isn’t as bad as you say. That said, if this house didn’t have the train running adjacent to the property, it would sell for so much more. It will definitely sell just as others against the tracks have sold.
The house does have some updating to do and I could never live with forced hot air heat, but the bigger issue is the above ground subway tracks right next door!.
This is also the problem with the lovely Limestone’s on Ocean Ave over looking Prospect Park, very reasonably priced….but not selling. The noise and vibrations are non stop!
I am surprised that in this day and age the MTA has not taken some lessons from the LONDON tube for example and learned how to make the tracks, wheels quieter…..but, oh I forgot it does not effect people in Manhattan!
This house is priced to sell. The kitchen and bath aren’t that bad and it is about a forty minute ride to midtown from the Q Avenue H station. A longer walk to Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue amenities than some of the other micro neighborhoods though.
Show me 5 2-family row houses that have sold on the open market in the last 6 months in Sunset Park that are not on the far side of the BQE or total guts and are less than 900k.
I don’t think you can easily find one. At least, I couldn’t. Maybe near the D at Ft Hamilton.
Flatbush and East Flatbush are still affordable. Kensington is around the 950k range now.
Isn’t bay ridge still well under 1mm ?
Re Sunset Park, you can easily find places $850-$950K. The nicer end of the neighborhood anyway is actually about one mile from the Park. Where it borders Bay Ridge — high 50’s to low 60’s, 4th Avenue to 7th Avenue — the blocks are nicer than near the Park in the 40’s, AND this area has the Express N to 59th Street and is for the most part under a million.
