Houses of the Day: PLG Doubleshot
We noticed these two cute houses last weekend but have limited info on them…242 Lefferts Avenue (at left) sold for $480,000 in May of 2005 but the owner was able to get 100% financing, suggesting that the price was artificially low. The three-story house has a 20-by-50-foot floorplate and is almost 1,800 square feet underbuilt….

250 Lincoln Road (at right) is a little smaller but arguably on a better block. Unlike the Lefferts Avenue house, this one is actually overbuilt for the site. Century 21 has the listing but we couldn’t find it online. We bet some of you who live in the nabe can fill us in. Update: Holy Cow! Asking $1.1 million.

Oh, actually, I was confusing the Maple Street School with a different one. Nevermind.
Furthermore, there are two fabulous preschool programs in the nabe. The Maple Street School gets rave reviews from everyone I’ve talked to whose kids went there. It’s also a great place to make lasting connections with other families. I only wish we had moved to the neighborhood earlier so that we could have sent our child there. But alas, we were still in the Slope then.
Anyway, I think the Lincoln Road house is a must see.
I passed the Lincoln Road house this morning. Nice location. The extra wide street makes it quite appealing. I know a few people who live on the block. The kids are able to go from one backyard to another with the kids who live on Maple Street to play. It’s pretty special.
Here’s the deal on 250 Lincoln Rd.
Zillow says it was sold last September for $865k and the house is not that big – 1780 sq ft.
That’s one outrageous flip.

I spoke too soon – 1.1M!! Trying to turn it around single-handedly perhaps.
mr. b: if you need an intern i’m available….for a price.
here is the listing for the second house, and i am convinced, it is by far the biggest ripoff in all of brooklyn…it’s listed for $1.1M…yes $1.1M
here’s the link… http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/rfs/272044418.html
please provide credit…lol
for those of you who don’t want to click…it’s listed for $698K
What’s the point of listing HOTD without pricing info? There is nothing to discuss. It almost seems like mr B wants this to become a PLG trashing event.
Why oh why would anyone list their property with a Century 21 franchisee? Brownstoner ‘couldn’t find it online.’ Enough said…
