House of the Day: 1493 Sterling Place
This Crown Heights two-family is a mostly standard flip. It’s got new strip floors, baseboard molding, sheetrock walls, and has been entirely gutted and opened up, with no details left.

This Crown Heights two-family is a mostly standard flip. It’s got new strip floors, baseboard molding, sheetrock walls, and has been entirely gutted and opened up, with no details left. The bathrooms and kitchens are a little nicer than usual, with a classic white subway tile backsplash in the kitchen and faux wood tile in the bath. As Curbed pointed out, the building sold for $210,000 in February of this year to an LLC. Now the ask is $799,000. In this market, it’ll probably sell quickly. What do you think of it?

Hello! 1493 Sterling Place is still on the market! Aside from the “soul-less” reno, 775k price tag and leaking roof (spotted at a recent open house), any additional ideas as to why this wasn’t scooped up as yet?
“The property is not in Brownsville, but is in Crown Heights — in the middle of Crown Heights, nowhere near the border of Brownsville,”
Sorry Cate – middle of Crown Heights? At best, it’s a block or two from the border. I’m not sure what map you are looking on.
This house was purchased and renovated by a developer. There were probably no details worth saving.
The developer tried selling it himself at a price that was hopeful to say the least, for a house that’s practically in Brownsville.
Realizing this crazy market isn’t that crazy, he dropped the price and gave it to Corcoran to unload. End of story.
what a soulless place.
flippers need to get out of brooklyn
There is nothing wrong with the area, especially being close to the 3/4 trains. However, it’s still a hopefull ask for a house sans details, in this part of Crown Heights.
It is a “block or two” from where most rational humans consider the Crown Heights border to be. Kudos to Cate for being classy enough to acknowledge that fact.
well of course you’d only consider the gentrified areas of a nabe to be ‘in the nabe’, you’re a moonface 🙂
Had to check googmap.
don’t want to start a border war, but going by what i think are the borders of crown heights, this house is right in the middle of the nabe.
