A Sale for Victorian Flatbush
Here’s one that won’t make our weekly Top 5 Sales post but should nonetheless be of interest: After originally being listed last April for $1,375,000, the five-bedroom Victorian house at 335 Rugby Road in Beverley Square West closed on December 1 for $1,187,000. Total haircut? 13.6 percent. You can see the former listing here.

The decoration is not to my taste but this kind of property does give you the best of both worlds – traditional style and craftsmanship combined with modern conveniences.
I’ll be shooting for something like this when the price is right.
That’s why the A train and living in Bed Stuy is so great…15 minutes or less to Manhattan…about 25 to 34th street. It’s a delight.
The trains from Flatbush go over the bridge, so they bypass all those Downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan stops. So I believe it.
45 minutes to Midtown? Hmm… maybe if you live right by the subway, and you have amazing luck and a train always comes immediately.
But my morning commute from Brooklyn Heights to Midtown takes 40 minutes–sometimes more–so I find 45 minutes from Flatbush hard to believe.
Maybe no as fast…but at least you dont have to look over your shoulder every second when waing for the train at Church or Newkirk.
I like Bay Ridge a lot, but have a hard time believing the commute on the R train, making all those local stops or hoping for a timely connection to an express at 59th or 36th, is as fast as coming from Church or Newkirk on the Brighton line. Third Ave in Bay Ridge does have a very nice selection of restaurants.
Is it that one that’s pictured a few threads above????
We don’t want brand new.
We just built a rather large house in Bay Ridge…everything is brand new for 1.4m…same commute…safer area.
