House of the Day: 2787 Bedford Avenue
Whatever your view on the desirability of the Brooklyn College area, the fact remains that there are some nice houses at decent prices to be found.

Whatever your view on the desirability of the Brooklyn College area, the fact remains that there are some nice houses at decent prices to be found. This place on Bedford Avenue between Farragut and Glenwood doesn’t have any eye-popping detail, but it’s part of an attractive row of attached brick houses and looks to be in decent shape. We’re not very familiar with this stretch of Bedford, however, so it’s tough call for us. Has anyone been inside this place?
2787 Bedford Avenue [Mary Kay Gallagher] GMAP P*Shark
Been on the porch a few times 60+
yeers ago on my way to PS 152.
I also bought my house through Mary Kay G. 10 years ago on the very low end of the market (under $200K–no millions here) and she was great. No hard sell or runaround. The only broker I felt I could trust at the time.
I went to an estate sale in one of that row a few years back and the house we were in was as nice inside as outside. This is a nice quiet area. Some professors and grad students do live in the area, along with people from the kind of mix of working backgrounds that is disappearing in other Brooklyn areas.
anon 6:14- would disagree that this “looks like most single family homes in that area”. In fact, this sort of attached house is pretty uncommon in the area around Brooklyn College and greater Victorian Flatbush, forget about how uncommon brick structures are out here. To my knowledge the attached brick style of this house only runs for about half the block on one side of the street- the rest of this block is made up of the type of single family homes that are typical of the area.
although i didn’t buy in ditmas, mary k was super nice to me. ps i didn’t have millions to spend.

Mary Kay Gallagher wasn’t nice to work with. I found her arrogant, didn’t want to talk to you unless you had millions to spend.
She also comes across as “owning” Victorian Flatbush and DP areas, and doesn’t work well with other brokers IMHO
Don’t forget Midwood High, home to more Westinghouse Science Scholars than any other hs in the country.
And then there are the parrots!
I didn’t have good experiences working with Mary Kay Gallagher.
