houseHere’s another house that will put the Bed Stuy market to the test. Located at 100 Decatur (between Throop and Marcus Garvey), this four-story, two-family sits outside the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District (map here) but is on a nice block nonetheless (though some might argue it’s a little close to Fulton). Anyway, the red flag here appears to be that only the lower duplex has retained the building’s original architectural details (serious stuff), which might not be a problem for a buyer who definitely wants to maintain the current configuration. Still, we think the lack of charm upstairs might merit a small discount from the asking price of $899,000.

  1. I live on the block. The street isn’t bad at all, IMHO.

    Hey, we even have a “brown sign” because of the building on the corner –yeah, yeah…I know that it isn’t historic district “proper” but I can at least see the historic district every morning. Shucks, I can even touch it.

    The C train (I know…ugh…but at least it ain’t the G) is right around the corner, which is incredibly convenient. (also, equals higher rents) The A train, for those of you who seek additional cardio, is a couple of blocks away.

    As for Operation Impact…the damn suits are around the corner all the damn time. I can’t get away with squat. I even need to remember to put my seatbelt on because they set up a check point on the corner of Fulton and Throop.

    Rest assured – whoever gets the house -it is a good block.

    Welcome!
