House of the Day: Hawthorne Street Woodie
We aren’t intimately familiar with Hawthorne Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and this house looks okay to us, but we suspect that it is overpriced at $875,000 when compared to some of the more stately brownstones in the Lefferts Manor historic district that begins one block north of this place. So we’ve got a couple…

So we’ve got a couple of questions: 1) What’s this block like? 2) Is this house indeed overpriced?

phantom street monsters. skillful diction dt.
is it just me or do plg posters bring solid wit and robust argumentation?
This is absolutely priceless. A few people make criticisms of PLG and all of a sudden the PLG Nazis are beside themselves. It must be a conspiracy! No, it must be some sort of ‘activist’.
Could you people manage to take yourselves a little MORE seriously? Welcome to the real world, where people don’t always share YOUR opinions.
“DT”, you are certainly one to tell him to grow up. To make light of the bad fortune of others is wrong and stupid, and it is hardly a mark of maturity. Listen to yourself. You sound like you never made it out of junior high.
So cute, Gordon. Funny how you, Jenna and John have made your first appearances on this thread, and have all been victims of horrific experiences in this nabe. Even funnier that those of us who actually live here do so without fear or attacks by your phantom street monsters. Grow up.
I sold my home there because it was just too dangerous. I’d been accosted on the street numerous times, and my neighbors were victims of a horrible home invasion. That’s when I knew it was time to leave. It’s terrible to think about, still upsetting to this day. I’m afraid I’m done with this thread.
Brick? Lime? Brown? Take your pick!
I purchased my home in Lefferts Manor about 9 years ago and saw at least one house in each of the above styles. There was little or no difference in the prices; though layout and materials varied. Of course, the 3 and 4 story THs of late 19th century were brimming with heavy period details, the high-quality federal and colonial revivals (less ornate but indeed striking…as BM puts it) also made their mark and impressed me greatly. And I know of several highly renovated brick revivals that can go toe-to-toe with any of the Browns and Limes. Call me cocky but I can appreciate all types of “Art” translated in its many different forms. I have a discerning eye.
Actually, Ed, you are beginning to seem a little bit ‘out there’, if you know what I mean. Can you back up some of the things you’re saying or is this sort of like Roswell?
p.s. – my mailbox is still empty. You’re welcome to write. Please defend yourself, because it seems your comments regarding safety and violent crime in PLG are complete lies to serve an ulterior motive.
What is your agenda? Please tell me!
