The Sterling Place house clocks in at 2,682 square feet and has a lien of $419,380, probably less than the place is worth (though it’s hard to say for sure not knowing what the interior is like). The Macon Street house has 2,430 square feet of space and a lien of $237,413. The weekly auction happens on Thursday at 3 p.m., 360 Adams Street, Room 274.

If the Sterling Place house belonged to Bishop LeGrand, there’s no telling what you may did up in the basement or yard. It certainly has a colorful past. For those who don’t remember the Bishop had a school bus for all his children and was charged along with a son of murdering a young girl and burning the body upstate.
The house on Sterling Place. It belonged to the LeGrands at one point. Shudder!!!!!!!!!
Well, I was smacked for this yesterday, but the City agrees that Macon house is in Bed Stuy. Ocean Hill starts at Saratoga:

So what happened to that Ditmas Park foreclosure – the one built with french bricks in a medieval style.
Would love to see a foreclosure of the week follow up. (Was there a last minute deal, or did it really go to auction & if so how much did it go for?)
I was curious about last week – 445 East 19th Street. The house had to be worth approximately double the lien, so wonder why the owners wouldn’t make a deal.
I always though SH ended at Malcolm X going east… But you are right no one knows where one starts and ends… You know if I was a real estate agent i would love to use Ocean Hill. it is a charming name… Too bad there is no real Ocean around lol..
Nice tree pic.
But Amzi Hill…if it were a listing with a broker they would call it Stuyvesant Heights!! Don’t really want to rehash yesterdays discussion though. LOL
Brownstoner the Macon Street house is in Ocean Hill
