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.

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 of questions: 1) What’s this block like? 2) Is this house indeed overpriced?

So, 7:12 what you’re really saying is no white people with kids would live in a neighborhood like that. But it’s totally okay for black families with kids to live there. Because they DO, you know. This is exactly the kind of hidden racism that makes liberals seem like complete hypocrites and no different than the upper-class far-right, deep down. And what keeps us from winning the Presidential election. We have no integrity in anything we advocate. Way to go, people. Liberalism is dead.
So, Anon. 7:12, I guess you will not be joining us for wine & cheese at Wendys either–aw shucks!
I agree — wine would go better with Wendy’s new brie poppers off the dollar menu than with fried chicken.
sorry 9:09, i took exception to your purposefully insulting commentary regarding my neighborhood and felt compelled to respond. maybe next time you’ll think first before posting nonsense.
i’m glad you found somewhere pleasant to reside after escaping PLG, but there is no need to leave garbage on the street as you depart…
brie on the dollar menu! funny stuff bob. seriously, my kind of humor….
That was a mistake Babs–I think it’s Wendy’s that has the license–they added brie to their dollar menu to go with the wine 😉
When did Popeye’s get a wine license and why didn’t anyone tell me?
Most houses in this country are wood frame. There are lots of reasons wood frame is superior to brick and mortar, other than earthquake resistence.
Over time brick turns to dust. As long as wood is properly protected, it can last forever.
Anon. 9:09,
After 32 years I’m certainly not “still in…[my] new neighborhood feelings” but I sure agree with Franz’s 9:09 post [and find his 10;03 post really funny]. Still, yrmv–that’s life.
White folks would move to Iraq if the conditions and real estate was proper.
