House of the Day: Greene Avenue Goodness
We’re digging this 4-story Bed Stuy brownstone and suspect that it will be snatched up quickly. The house appears to have all its original details in quite good shape, from the gorgeous parquet wood floors to the dark-stained molding and wood paneling.

We’re digging this 4-story Bed Stuy brownstone and suspect that it will be snatched up quickly. The house appears to have all its original details in quite good shape, from the gorgeous parquet wood floors to the dark-stained molding and wood paneling. The parlor floor ceilings also look to be extremely high. We have no idea what the rest of the block is like though, but at $699,000 (or about $200 a foot) this is sounding like a pretty good deal to us. Has anyone been inside yet?

What are you implying about brownstoner? That because he gets revenue, probably very little from advertisements etc., that he is posting false information in order to influence interest in listings? What bullsh*t. Get over yourselves and your conspiratorial suspicions. If you really care, go to the d*amn house and check it out. Make an appointment with Corcoran! This site is for information and exchange of ideas, no need to imply that brownstoner is a disseminator of misinformation with a view to making money (i.e. fraud). Maybe I’m reading too much into the Sometime Kinda’s post, but people should be careful about making such accusations, implied or explicit.
Absolutely they should clarify – to those who contact them directly because they are interested in this property. My point was just that I wouldn’t fault them for not responding to purposefully misleading information posted here.
“bafoons” is a bit harsh (AND unnecessary). I tend to think clarifying the details about this listing is a legitimate request.
Honestly why should Corcoran have to respond to the buffoons on this site. They should only respond to legitimate inquiries that come to them directly in a legitimate fashion. I am not normally one to defend Corcoran but honestly, these liars are worthless and don’t help ANYONE.
this discussion has definitely taken on a life of its own I’d certainly like to know what Corcoran has to say (in response to someone asking that they comment) especially since its pretty sad that people have gone to the point of conspiracy theories just because there’s a listing with Corcoran that’s somewhat decent. that certainly says a lot about their reputation. I appreciate the owner (I think) chiming in as well.
You’d think that person could come up with something better than a 16-year-old with a “life estate.”
wow…a conspiracy…how about focusing on the fact that it’s more likely that an interested buyer would post misinformation about this renter to acare other people off…come on guys – like the press don’t believe everything you read on a blog…and do your own diligence
I don’t buy it. My conspiratorial ears are burning. I have asked Corcoran to comment on this thread.
Actually, Momma Jones, we don’t have an obligation to do due diligence. This is shoot-from-the-hip stuff and we don’t hold it out as anything other than that. It’s pretty clear that all we’re doing is expressing our opinion based on a few photos and lines of text written by a real estate broker. The due diligence is for anyone who gets interested in the property.
