445-East-19th-0808.jpg
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?

  1. “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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
