House of the Day: 63 South Portland Avenue
It’s hard to imagine a way to make this listing less visible: List it only on your 1998-looking website with no address, no interior pictures and just a few lines of text; then put a small sign in the window and spend no money on a New York Times ad. Brilliant! Of course, the survival…
It’s hard to imagine a way to make this listing less visible: List it only on your 1998-looking website with no address, no interior pictures and just a few lines of text; then put a small sign in the window and spend no money on a New York Times ad. Brilliant! Of course, the survival of behind-the-times brokering tactics is a bargain hunter’s best hope. In this case, the listing is 63 South Portland Avenue, a five-story, 22-foot-wide brownstone on Fort Greene’s most fabled park block. The fact that it’s a five-family and the listing says “creativity required” suggests this baby will take some work, but it could well be worth it at the asking price of $1,700,000. GMAP
i heard today from a tenant that building already has a deal on it
I hear you DIBS. We So. Slopers not only have to cope with the overcrowded, slow and rare F train, we get to be teased with an unused express track. However, being close to 4th Ave has its advantages. M/R to N means just 6 stops from from our bucolic framesville to Times Square, at least during weekdays.
People who live in the Slope do live on the wrong subway lines. They all assume they can get to Manhattan faster than I can.
Whew, for a minute I was thinking I *so* live on the wrong subway lines.
No, cmu. LOL I did a google search and saw it.
DIBS… you got home in 14 minutes?!
MM and Brookynista are so right. Eva Daniels is an institution in Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill and she knows every house in those neighborhoods. Long-time residents have good reason to trust her.
I’m sure the encroachment of the “biggies” and their customers who feel they are just not buying a house unless they are working with their Corcoran agent have hurt her business somewhat, but there are many in the neighborhood who remain loyal to her. The sellers of this house, who have a real estate “company” because they’ve owned several investment properties in Ft. Greene forever, are just one example.

Stuyvesant Heights Brokerage on Stuyvesant Ave and then another one on Decatur (I believe) just east of Malcolm X. Can’t remember the name of the latter but I will look it up when I get home.
