House of the Day: 100 Decatur Street
Here’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’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.

Word has it that the best and final is Due Thurs, 2/1, at 5pm not Friday –And there will be an open house this sunday 2-3 for backup offers.
word is that there are 5 bids with more coming, and a best and final round likely.
of course some bids might be under ask. But still, probably corcoran underpriced this.
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!
