House of the Day: 484 East 17th Street

We got a tip from a regular reader on Friday about a new listing on Mary Kay Gallagher that he said was the nicest house he’d ever seen in Ditmas Park. The reason he’d been inside is that it was on last year’s Victorian Flatbush house tour. (We even included a photo of the kitchen in our recap below.) From the photos on the listing, we’d have to agree that the 1902 Queen Anne Victorian looks spectacular. In addition to the tip-top restoration of the historic details, the kitchen and bathroom renovations look beautiful to us — a rare perfect balance of the modern with the traditional. So the question isn’t whether there will be demand for this house (we bet there will be a line around the block), it’s whether the asking price of $1,950,000 will fly. We bet it’s not far off.

Victorian Flatbush House Tour Recap [Brownstoner]
To 2/7, 10:57… I know the developer lives in the neighborhood, all the more reason to be upset and disgusted at the completely out of context, “modern” building with sliding glass doors, fedders holes, balconies facing the street and other tasteless, not beautifully designed features. Can’t wait to see the color of the bricks.
Yes – they have Aardvarks and Music Together in the neighborhood, as well as dance and movement classes, gymnastics classes, etc… There is a playground on Cortelyou (not so great though – I wish they would budget to make it a bit nicer) and, if you are in PPS anyway, Vanderbilt Playground in the park is not too far of a walk. The beauty is that it isn’t such a pain to drive places either because you know you don’t have to look for parking when you get home – just pull into the driveway.
how do i get this site to refresh so i can see updated comments?
i’m a bit of a “new mommy” myself with 2 kids and currently living in DUMBO, previously Bklyn Heights. Are there classes for kids in this neighborhood, like “Music Together” and “Aardvarcks”? How about a playground? Thanks.
I have eaten there many times over the past 2 years and while I have been a little disappointed with service (never got a beer on the house once) I enjoyed the food every single time!
Yes, the owners are nice but man, did I have several disappointing meals. Not to mention the absolute horrible service. I also, tried and tried to support them as they were the only shop in town for a while but eventually had to stop going there. As The Farm has proved, there is a great need for restaurants in this neighborhood and people will come out of their big houses to eat but they won’t do it if the product is bad and service worse. Someone good, please buy this place up!!!
Just make sure that pancake house has a good alarm system as we all know it will increase your property values a few hundred thou.
Maybe I’ll open up a David Eyre pancake restaurant. With good coffee. Would you come? Anybody have some extra cast iron pans? I’ll add some homegrown victorian flatbush heirloom tomatoes come summertime.
I think ppser should buy it and show us all how its done
