Real family-size prewar apartments are hard to find to come by in Brownstone Brooklyn, so we were interested to come across this FSBO listing (yet another one using free blogging software) for a three bedroom at 125 Eastern Parkway. The 1,800-square-foot place combines two apartments, the D and E lines. Given that 5D sold for $725,000 last June and 3E sold for $271,371 in 2004, the asking price of $900,000 (or $500 a foot) seems quite reasonable. We also like the layout: If it were our place, we’d blow open the whole center of the apartment, combining the current kitchen, dining room, living room and den into one gigantic space. But that’s just us. Looks like the apartment has been on the market since February 1. We bet it’ll be snapped up by someone at one of the two open houses this weekend.

  1. Sorry, but no. I never post links to other sites and would caution everyone not to click on links that are not specifically real estate sites relating to the content on brownstoner. I also never post without signing into passport.

    Rhana- yep. You leaving?

  2. This apt has been on the market for awhile. I saw it sometime late last year. It’s a nice apt but as said above, on the second floor with little light/ views. The high maintainence and flip tax at Turner Towers were the main turn-off for us and we didn’t pursue it after the first viewing. Incidentally, it is FSBO b/c the owner is a broker herself. FYI- I have nothing against Eastern Parkway or PH- I live in the area myself 😉

  3. Bx2Bklyn has a history of bad behavior on this site. And she’s actually relatively well-behaved today. At least she’s not bombarding us with pornography, which is what she resorts to when she gets pissed off.

  4. It’s amazing how much anger and venom people carry around with them all day. And it’s as true of me as of anyone else. It is depressing. Where does it all come from? Do we just not have enough constructive ways to vent our aggression and consequently end up snarking and insulting each other? Maybe we all need more gym memberships or something.

    Good- Paris can breathe a sigh of relief. (Wish NYC had the same option)

    Thanks CHP for the history- I think Eastern Pkway and the Grand Concourse are magnificent, assets not only to Brooklyn and the Bronx, but to the entire city as well..

  6. You receive the mortgage interest deduction even if you pay AMT — including that portion of your maintenance that is attributable to mortgage interest. What you don’t get is the deduction for the part of your maintenance that is attributable to real estate taxes.
