Another High Price in East Bed Stuy

At this point, probably we are the only ones surprised to learn that 770 MacDonough has sold for $692,000, $17,000 over ask. This is the house at left, a HOTD whose beautifully intact details were recently lost to a new brick veneer facade. We were watching this one carefully, since we live around the corner and the price of $675,000 was high for the area, particularly for a frame house and this block, which consists mostly of large tenement apartment buildings rather than owner-occupied brownstones. The location is east of Saratoga, so technically this is Ocean Hill.
