If you’re in the market for a house in PLG with historic charm but can’t come up with the $1,780,000 for 20 Midwood Street, this new listing at 200 Rutland Road may be more your speed. The three-story, bay-front brownstone has a very impressive parlor floor, with coffered ceilings, parquet floors and woodwork galore. According to the listing, the kitchen is “older” and there’s no info on the state of the bathrooms. The asking price is $875,000. We suspect they’ll get pretty close to that.

Great post.
I must defend the English basement concept and the size of these houses. These houses really offer 3 floors of living space that’s very nicely laid out. People have been doing amazing things with renovating the English basements in these 2-story Lefferts Manor houses (see photos of the basement in the house that sold on Maple II for $1.3mm) and it doesn’t require digging. There’s decent light through the front basement windows during the day. If you’re standing sidewalk level in front of the house, the tops of the basement windows are high because the front of the house is elevated. The tops of the basement windows are as high as some houses with “garden” level floors that are more sunken. We actually love how cozy and private our English basement family room is for watching TV in the evenings because the windows are smaller and elevated. If we had big garden-level windows directly overlooking the sidewalk I’d feel on display for passers by. Fishbowl.
Oh. I would have sworn I read ‘half’ not ‘hall’ but I was wrong
re ^, it says there is a “hall” bathroom on the 2nd floor, which I’m sure is a full bath. I think they’re just referring to the location–it’s not directly connected to the bedrooms.
Looks very nice.
Reads like the only full bath is in the basement
Thanks, Bob (and dibs).
As I mentioned last year, we paid just a little less than this for our 2 bedroom Heights. I regret I didn’t give PLG or Ditmas Park more consideration – could have gotten a whole house for about the same.
Real nice picks for all three ‘of the Day’ posts today. When is the last time that happened? Inventory sucks on the sales side right now.
Nice house, on a great block. While only two stories, as BoerumHill pointed out, these smaller “Realty Associate”* houses have high, windowed, basements that are more usable than the cellars of larger high-stoop houses. I’m not an expert on pricing, but my impression is that the asking price is around the middle of the range for these houses, which can be found on Lincoln, Maple, Midwood, and Rutland, west of Rogers.

English basement (living space) but no cellar.
