House of the Day: Stuy Heights Gem
Another beauty from Stuyvesant Heights by way of Craigslist. The 4,300-square-foot two-family is configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. By all appearances (and the broker’s flowery prose) it sounds like this is one of those jaw-droppers, complete with original restored woodwork, wainscotting, and pier mirrors. The 1899 house also has a center…
Another beauty from Stuyvesant Heights by way of Craigslist. The 4,300-square-foot two-family is configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. By all appearances (and the broker’s flowery prose) it sounds like this is one of those jaw-droppers, complete with original restored woodwork, wainscotting, and pier mirrors. The 1899 house also has a center stair with an “intricate oak basket weave design” on the railings and restored golden oak lattice work overhead. Located on Bainbridge off Lewis Avenue, the house is only a couple of blocks from the A train. If all this is true, the asking price of $1,235,000 seems a little lower than we would have expected. What say ye?

Brownstoner, are all of these inane comments from one person? Is there really no way to block them? They are ridiculous, annoying, and utterly pointless.
The entire city of NY would be out of debt if Kings County would be removed.
In particular, BS, CH (Crown Heights), Brownsville, ENY, etc.
One giant mosquito sucking all of our tax $
Anon 10:11, the comment about taking funds away from a private education and investing it into a suffering school district is as synonymous as burning that tuition money.
I mean let’s all get real and realize that the reason for school districts suffering are the non-involved parent. The non-involved that are too busy or too tired to break up their routine and constantly make the pedagogy the reason for their childs poor education.
No matter how much you want to believe that a few $ will help, it’s just an idealists’ fantasy. All low-income parents lack the comprehension that what you do and what you say will rub off on your child.
I have witnessed, on my morning walks to work, some parents dropping off their kids at a school yard and not interacting with the other parents. Some have chips on their shoulders, but all they have a civil servant job and a bunch of food stamps in their drawers.
The parent who puts there own private time ahead of their childs is a loser. Not only personally, but socially, as this domino effect affects the entire district.
Thanks but no thanks, i’ll be sending my kids to private school and avoid the public school yard ineptness.
I vote for no private funding and bring vouchers back, as my taxes are a big waste in these slum hoods
FF 2:08, if brownstoner dived off a bridge would you follow?
Don’t assume that it’s all relative when some desperate uninformed idiot purchases a property for a price that is completely and apparently 2x of what it really should be selling for.
This house is clearly $500k and not a cent more
Just a thought is just that, a thought.
I’ve been reading your poor pathetic defense of a hood that is crime infested and has about the same public transportation as Baghdad (The crime can also be synonymous).
So spare us with your condescending comments, esp. when you’re not a home owner
Freeform and BB, don’t argue with this fool….ahhh…I mean Anonymous. He’s clearly trolling or is as dumb as they come. For Christ’s sake, he’s waiting for a 60% correction in the market! Talk about having champagne dreams on a Kool-Aid budget. LOL!
Does the truth hurt about what? Their was a similar house featured on brownstoner that sold for the same thing, so what are you quarrelling about?
You sound defensive anon 12:51. What’s the matter, does the truth hurt?
Save the defense for someone not familiar with this slum hood
Anon 12:01
You sound bitter. what’s the matter? Your house not appreciating?
