House of the Day: 663 Rugby Road
After a fire gutted the single-family house at 663 Rugby Road last summer, the non-profit that owned it sold it to someone in December who did a quick renovation and put it on the market for $1,249,000. As a result, there’s not an original detail in sight. For that price in this area, we’d want…
After a fire gutted the single-family house at 663 Rugby Road last summer, the non-profit that owned it sold it to someone in December who did a quick renovation and put it on the market for $1,249,000. As a result, there’s not an original detail in sight. For that price in this area, we’d want a little more character. Think anyone will bite? There was an open house yesterday. Anyone go?

I went to the open house. The place is quite spacious inside and everything is new, but there’s no charm and no high end details that I’d expect from a house in this price range. Yes the bathrooms are small and unattractive. Not much of a master suite. Backyard is almost nonexistent due to garage. I just bought a house on the same block as this one so I hope they do get a good price, but in my opinion it’s not really worth what they are asking.
And as a new Rugby Road resident, a new French restaurant DOES matter 🙂
…sorry, but any place where Africans are telling my wife her ass is hot is a place where houses are $500K in a few years.
I don’t understand, 8:39. I was responding to someone who claimed 1BR and 2BR places in Park Slope cost $700K to $1 million. I was simply disagreeing and pointing out the true price range which is lower. I know nothing about Kansas.
Yes, the point is that one (not even open yet) French restaurant does not make this house worth the asking price.
As has been said, location, location, location…
Again…not really the point, 8:16. The point is that people consider neighborhood features when pricing a home. That $600,000 2BR your friends bought would be a hell of a lot less in Kansas.
Who cares about details? I’d pay that much just to live in the neighborhood.
6:01pm, the 1BR to 2BR coops and condos are not $700K to a million in Park Slope. You can easily get a cute historic 2BR brownstone coop on a prime street in Park Slope for $600K. With a new kitchen. We know someone who bought such a coop two weeks ago.
I would have to side with 6:21. I am a female and I have taken the train in that neighborhood numerous times and I had many young African American men telling me my “ass was hot”. I was intimidated, I would not want to have to deal with that every day when I spend so much on a home.
There’s only one public school in this neighborhood — P.S. 217. Not bad. It offers a gifted program. The kids are okay and learning happens. Parental involvement is high and the staff cares. But the school does not lure people to the area like P.S. 321 in Park Slope. Maybe that’s good news. I’m not sure.
