House of the Day: Possibility on Decatur
Every now and then Craigslist yields something interesting. This three-family on Decatur Street looks like it would be worth checking out for $600,000. Of course, the lack of interior pics gets a red flag (or yellow card, given it’s World Cup time) and there’s not much description. Still if there really are “some details” as…
Every now and then Craigslist yields something interesting. This three-family on Decatur Street looks like it would be worth checking out for $600,000. Of course, the lack of interior pics gets a red flag (or yellow card, given it’s World Cup time) and there’s not much description. Still if there really are “some details” as the ad promises and the house isn’t a complete wreck, you might have something to work with. No mention of an agency so maybe this is a poached listing. Anyone know anything?
Three Family Brownstone [Craigslist] GMAP
Why would you buy that, when this $6xx,000 brownstone is just behind pratt – about 3 miles closer to the center of things?

600k for a 4-story brownstone on a nice block seems like a great deal at this point. Even if it does require work, there’s not much else out there where you can get this much house on a true brownstone block, not one that is blasted out, filled in with ugly new development, or housing projects.
Sam, not sure I get your point. I called 12:28 a fool for wanting to buy this without knowing anything about it. I don’t think 600K is a bargain for this at all.
Tenant issues!
Why is he a fool. This house has been on the market forever and split into studios. Is that such a bargain?
Who knows how much it would cost to renovate it into separate apts.
It’s thanks to people like 12:28 that the market hasn’t really tanked. Thank the lord for fools with money.
I bet the painted finish says it all.
anon 12:28 Please let us know how your purchase proceeds. Any reports about the condition on the inside, and price negotiations would be appreciated.
For that price, as long as it’s not actually condemned, I’d buy it!
