This 3,420-sf, 3-family brownstone has an interesting history. It was put up for auction last summer with an opening bid of $1.4 million and evidently didn’t sell. It was then listed for $999,999 last October. The ad had this to say: “Estate Condition, four story, three family brownstone, 19′ wide on a 90′ lot. The parquet floors, tiled mantels, and original details are waiting for you to come in and restore all to its original splendor.” Entered into contract on 12/18/08; closed on 3/26/09; deed recorded on 4/30/09.

“Alvora” was, I believe, supposedly a tribute to Dean Alvord (whose Prospect Park South is about 4 blocks from here but seems further)…but to me it sounds like an obscure botanical structure or body part, or perhaps an orifice.
“We don’t have any plans to sell anytime in the next, say, 15 years so we’re not sweating it.”
Thanks Brownstoner for the rocket fuel! You comment made my day!
The What (Lookie at the Bond Market)
Someday this war is gonna end…
Well, we’ve got a fifth floor and have already renovated ours…not underwater yet, but certainly could happen. We don’t have any plans to sell anytime in the next, say, 15 years so we’re not sweating it. Probably going to refi soon so we’ll let you know about the comps!
I’m liking the Crown Heights house. Those 3-storeys are often very solid and surprisingly spacious inside. And nr Eastern Parkway and the IRT. Daresay it needs renovating but someone will have a great place to go home to.
“Rally? What Rally?”
The Bear Market Rally (or Reality)! Grrrrrrr…
“Deep Blue Sea”
Ha ha ha…Aquamen
***Bid half off peak comps***
