445 E. 19th Street Dodges Foreclosure Bullet, Lists Large
Less than a month ago, the owner of 445 East 19th Street in Ditmas Park almost lost his home to foreclosure over an outstanding lien of less that $600,000; today, the house is listed with two brokerage firms for a cool $2,000,000. When we picked the house out of the foreclosure fray back in July,…
Less than a month ago, the owner of 445 East 19th Street in Ditmas Park almost lost his home to foreclosure over an outstanding lien of less that $600,000; today, the house is listed with two brokerage firms for a cool $2,000,000. When we picked the house out of the foreclosure fray back in July, it was based solely on its exterior looks—we had no way of knowing what the interior held in store. On that front, there’s some beautiful original detail, some of which has been updated. Whether it’s worthy of the hefty price tag only remains to be seen. Waddya think?

“Accept that the Ditmas Park 11-room house is basically of the same caliber as the 3-room co-op.”
Btw, they are not of the same caliber, which is why one is listed for 2 million and the other for 750K. Funny that you think those 2 numbers are comparable.
Oh and the 2 bedroom co-op has more than 3 rooms.
This past weekend, after living in NYC for 8 years, I took the Q train to Ditmas Park for the first time ever. Got off at Newkirk and walked around for probably 4 hours. I could not even believe how gorgeous it was. Street after street of beautiful homes and huge trees. Simply amazing how few people probably know that exists in the middle of NYC. I didn’t till a few days ago.
Just made me fall in love with NYC, and Brooklyn in particular even more.
I’d still rather live in Park Slope, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate and realize how wonderful and different all these places are.
And I’d never tell anyone in the comments section of an anonymous blog about real estate to be quiet. I like hearing all of these comments, even if I don’t agree with every single one.
First time I saw Ditmas Park I was blown away by how beautiful it is. IMHO one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the City- I’d take a place in Ditmas Park any day no matter the train ride.
there are brokers who call prospect heights “north slope”? news to me.
So, 11217… I live in prospect heights (north slope for the real estate agents), but I used to live in Ditmas Park. By the way, I never said Ditmas Park was closer to manhattan, that would be retarded.
I was simply pointing out that the Q/B was great – and the 2/3 is relatively not. Since the co-op from yesterday basically had the 2/3 station in it’s lobby, I assumed everyone was excited by that. And those sentences weren’t meant to be strictly connected – I truly apologize. My point was that the Q is a great train. And North Slop isn’t a wonderland… and because Union Sq is 25 minutes away instead of 15, you shouldn’t discount ditmas park… which a lot of people do. The average restaurant review of places like the Farm on cortelyou are prefaced with comments like “if you’re willing to schlep all of the way….”
But you’re right. I should be quiet, accept overinflated real estate. Accept that the Ditmas Park 11-room house is basically of the same caliber as the 3-room co-op.
Oh yeah. 11217… suck it.
The Second Avenue subway has been “under construction” for nearly 80 years:

It was just the conversation.
Down the street E19 and Dorchester was owned by hoffman soda(if you remember) They were bootleggers before the soda buss.
“You should check out Ditmas park before you say flatbush ave in north slope is MUCH better. Also, the Q/B is faster than the 2/3 any day!”
I also don’t understand this statement since you said yesterday that you lived a few blocks away from the co-op of the day, did you not?
If that were true, you’d know that there is a Q station at 7th and Flatbush (about a 50 second walk from yesterday’s co-op of the day) and the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza is steps out the door.
I can’t believe you live in the North Slope and would say that Ditmas Park is closer to Manhattan. It kinda makes me think you don’t know what you’re talking about in general.
The check is in the mail
I’m from the govenment and I’m here to help you.
No I won’t c…..
The 2nd Avenue subway is under construction.
