House of the Day: 160 Maple Street
Since when is Citi Habitats in the Brooklyn brownstone game? We’re not sure, but they can hold their heads high with this listing in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This bay-front limestone two blocks from the park from under a million bucks is the kind of listing that makes PLG one of the few interesting plays left…
Since when is Citi Habitats in the Brooklyn brownstone game? We’re not sure, but they can hold their heads high with this listing in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This bay-front limestone two blocks from the park from under a million bucks is the kind of listing that makes PLG one of the few interesting plays left out there in the market. If you can look beyond some of the chintzy interior decoration, you’ll see original parquet floors in perfect shape, pristine wood paneling and some lovely plaster moldings. The kitchen may not be a keeper, but it’s certainly is in move-in condition from a functional standpoint. Sidestepping the same old PLG neighborhood debate, we’ll be interested to hear how locals think this place stacks up to the rest of the nabe.

” I don’t think the bedroom issue is about entitlement, or whether it is possible to raise children in a small, shared bedroom (of course it is!), but whether it is a consideration if you are paying $1 million for a home, which seems a very different issue.”
I’ve seen all three houses currently for sale on Maple St., and they all are lovely in their individual ways. And they all are overpriced! I think there’s general agreement on that. The sellers would have saved themselves a lot of effort and several weeks had they priced correctly to begin with.
For the record, 178 Maple (asking 950K) has an open house this weekend. Perhaps they do have an offer, but I don’t think so. This is a lovely block, but ED, get real. These houses aren’t selling at asking because many people don’t want to pay that much for the area. Perhaps they’re wrong, but don’t pass it off on brokers. This house has had a prominent ad in the Times every sunday. I was at one of the open houses and it was packed. The problem is the price, not the broker.
Hey Anon 8:00 –
Maybe we’ll all get lucky and one of those stray bullets will hit you in the head, you idiot!
“OTOH most NYC families raise their children in apartments considerably smaller than even a the smallest two story row house.”
Amen, Bob — and sometimes they’ve paid MORE than $1M for those apartments.
house is overpriced
Sunset Park IS a very attractive neighborhood IMO.
Must say this was a nice blog but no one mentioned the Gun shots that are so frequent in PLG/? why does no one bring up the drugs and crimes in these horrible areas? wake up people. This is real life.
Well, MOSTLY civilized comments anyway, nowithstanding the last two brilliant contributions.
