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.

I didn’t notice that! However, SOMEbody did pay well over $2 million for a brownstone in North Park Slope we saw this past Fall, that had a 1BR owners duplex too. Go figure. But it does suit a childless couple, or a gay couple (who don’t have children) since these houses are at a two-income price level. That must be who they sell to.

I think you pay for the entire building not just two floors…just a thought
and the only bathroom is in the back by the kitchen…terrible, terrible, terrible layout.
you people are on crack…look at the floorplan..it’s a 1 bdr owner’s duplex…who’s paying $899K for a 1 bdr in bed stuy?
oh…as for the prediction –
3 weeks tops – $840K
“whitey ipod” should as the other “whitey MP3s” that are in the neighborhood on a regular basis. He also should head down to the bakery and coffee shop down the road on Lewis – just a thought.
Hmmm… I would want a bigger discount for the additional kitchen that I need to remove.
Fulton Street is awful, but I am sure that there isn’t “that” much (however you quantify it) overflow onto the street. Now…the Mickey D’s on the other hand would be a pain in the @$$.
it is a wonderful deal for 2000sq ft of detail with rentals paying your expenses and a chunk of the mortgage.
but.
what is a whitey ipod family from the slope realistically gonna find around there in terms of services, other than milk bread newspapers and a subway stop? just curious..
edit problem on my post….Should say…”don’t think that the lack of details is a big deal…..
This is a beauty. It is lovely and the price looks in the realm of the doable. I don’t think that lack of architectural details in the upper duplex is no big deal. I am not so sure of the location and Fulton Street is still so awful, but that house…wow. Really pretty.
