This lovely colonial revival house at 177 Rugby Road has been on the market for about a month at $2.5 million. Although it has some wonderful details (including one of the most amazing center staircases we’ve seen in a long while), the price tage is pretty dear for Victorian Flatbush (or Prospect Park South, to be exact). Property Shark says the house is only 3,400 square feet, though we suspect that doesn’t include the top “attic” floor. That said, the plot is 60 by 100 feet and includes a long driveway and garage. Basically, there’s nothing to quibble about in terms of quality (well, okay, kitchen could be a little nicer). The question is price. Are there any recent comps that would suggest that $2.5 is achievable for this place?

I don’t think it’s a troll. I think people just have something up their arses today. Myself included. Is it a full moon?
I’m curious, how does JB go about ousting someone who’s opinion differs then those on this site?
I’m sure you can guess exactly where to pin it, thank you.
Brownstoner, there is a nasty troll on this thread. Please cast him/her out.
where should I pin the medal
Fact check. I am a (not unsuccessful) writer. My husband works on Wall Street. We could (just about) afford this house, but we already live in Victorian Flatbush. We have children, a live-in au pair, home offices, etc…
the house is 100 years old and nobody ever busted their head falling 2 stories..what is it about your kids that you think such a thing would happen? they say parents have an influence on childrens behavior, is that what it is?

Reread my post. I said SPIRAL stairs (especially that big w/ open area in center). Big difference between breaking your ass falling down stairs and busting your head wide open after falling two or more stories.
Put a baby gate on your mouth/keyboard.
touche!! things do change, maybe VF stands a chance
