House of the Day: Liking This Lefferts Limestone

Here’s an interesting comparable to yesterday Lefferts Avenue Place House of the Day. Both houses are 1,900 square feet (or are they?) and both are priced in the mid-$700K’s. Today’s three-story limestone has some top-notch original details (albeit in need of a tune-up) on view whereas the lack of pics from yesterday’s listing suggests things…

Here’s an interesting comparable to yesterday Lefferts Avenue Place House of the Day. Both houses are 1,900 square feet (or are they?) and both are priced in the mid-$700K’s. Today’s three-story limestone has some top-notch original details (albeit in need of a tune-up) on view whereas the lack of pics from yesterday’s listing suggests things may not be as pretty. It also look as if today’s house is on a nicer street, though we’re admittedly working with very little info here. (Can anyone ID this location?) All in all, if we had to make a choice, we’d go with the today’s limestone over yesterday’s brownstone.

  1. I lived in Prospect Lefferts for years…sixteen (16)to be exact 1989-2005. This neighborhood in my opinion, has gone from not too bad at all to horrible. I owned a coop in the neighborhood; My block was lovely and so was the apartment and building, but I just could not take the neighborhood. It was too crowded, people were negative and not nice at all, the supermarkets are horrible and yes where is the nice sit down eatery, gunshots, guys on the corner all the time, crowded Flatbush ave..ugh!!the only good thing is I was close to my hair dresser..I always felt tense and not comfortable in my own neighborhood, A lot of people just did not care about the neighborhood, they are just living there…I am out and the only reason I return is to get my hair done..Now I have a nice larger apartment and a wonderful quiet neigborhood and neighbors so far..

  2. I have lived on Lefferts Avenue for 29 years. I was just informed of violations that were mailed out by the landmark association regarding my home. They stated that they wanted me to change my front door, remove the paint on my steps, remove my gate and change my windows to wood.
    Now, my gripe is that I paid for this house and if i wanted to paint my steps, I should be able to do so. Do we have any rights to our own property! I realized you own nothing in this country, they need to pass rules and regulation to keep you in control…Soon, we will not have the right to sit on our stoops to catch a little sun……

    I dont mind making my neighborhood a little better, but I havent seen any crime or killing in this area for years, the only unpleasant sight is that building 150 Lefferts Ave, It has become a place of hoodlums and homeless people living in the basement, the majority of tenants living in the building have been there for over 20 years, and they are warm loving neighbors. Its the those hoodlums and homeless people living in the basement that has been causing the block to sky dive to garbage. Over the summer I have seen the police come to that building on numerous occasions. People sitting on the steps at night fighting and cursing. Thank God the summer is over!
    The owners(Bumbart) has not been upkeeping the building. I have contacted him regarding the superindent responsibility about the upkeep and he just brushes me off, also I contacte him regarding so much police activity in the building basement, and he has not taken any steps to remove the problem. Hey, if you pay cheap labor, you get cheap and worthless labor.

    Sincerely,
    Mrs. Myrights
