Residential Sales [NY Times]
Yes it is and its getting better and not because more white children are enrolling but because more of the surrounding homeowners are starting to enroll their children. It has two “mini-schools” Most of the children of the homeowners enroll in the “Brotherhood Academy.” The apartment dwellers get put in the “Flatbush Academy” The school has many great programs and a great afterschool program as well.
PS 139 is not a decent public school?
Beverley Square East (BSE)is not yet one of the most popular of the Victorian Flatbush nabes but they all at one point were not that popular. BSE has beuatiful homes and E 17th is one of the nicer blocks. The whole point is to get in before your priced out. The BSE house is overpriced IMO but not by much. This house could be renovated nicely with 200K because the woodwork appears to be in great condition. I renovated my Victorian Flatbush home including plumbing and electrical upgrades and it did not cost 500-700K.

I think 10:49 is referring to the link posted by 7:39.
I think 10:49 is confused. This house is 484 E 17th Street, which is squarely in Ditmas Park. I saw it on the day it went on the market and came very close to putting in an offer at ask. The reason is that the house is in absolute pristine condition, has lots of tasteful period details that mesh seemlessly with a beautiful reno, and is huge compared to my apartment. I have 2 young kids and have no time or energy to deal with a reno, which is why I was willing to pay such a premium. The only thing that kept us from bidding was the lack of a decent public school and the length of the commute into midtown east where my wife works. Otherwise there would have been a bidding war on this house. My understanding of the previous owner was that the wife worked in Connecticut and was tired of the commute, so they decided to move to the “country”. I don’t think they had the intention of flipping, as the place was furnished with the apparent intent of a long stay in the house. But I could be wrong about this. Congrats to the new owners, they bought an absolute gem.
I was in this house. They held an open house during the Flatbush House Tour a few weeks ago. Needs a lot of updating, and I would bet new systems, so we’re talking alot of money, especially as this is a pretty large house.
I think it would need (based on my own reno in the nabe) 500-700K, no joke. This house is BIG. So the price as is is too high. Plus it’s in Beverley Square East, which does have some nice blocks, but overall has traditionally been one of the less desirably Victorian Flatbush neighborhoods. I think the house should be about 1.1 as is.
I just found this, and although it looks like it needs some serious updating (ie. financial investment), it does make for some great dreaming.

I remember that house. It’s great and would get top dollar, but it’s a different aesthetic. This one’s a bit more traditional. However, that Ditmas house had the most beautiful glass… It was narrative, with scenes from some sort of Chinese procession… Truly one of a kind.
This house is absolutely gorgeous! I know that there are other homes in the neighborhood that could go for similar prices, if and I do say IF, the current owners take the time, effort and money to make the necessary renovations and repairs. I saw the house on the corner of Ditmas and I think it was E 17th a couple of years ago on the tour and it was even more immaculate than this house. That one could easily go for over 2 million.
