House of the Day: 77 Midwood Street
This new listing at 77 Midwood Street may not be the priciest listing in PLG–that distinction still belongs to 20 Midwood Street at $1,780,000–but it’s still a pretty penny for the beautiful but historically discounted nabe.

This new listing at 77 Midwood Street may not be the priciest listing in PLG–that distinction still belongs to 20 Midwood Street at $1,780,000–but it’s still a pretty penny for the beautiful but historically discounted nabe. We suspect that Number 77, which is asking $1,579,000, may make life difficult for Number 20, given that the less expensive house’s historic details look just as impressive. We shall see though: The five-bedroom house traded for $1,300,000 back in 2007 (after being a House of the Day in 2006). Update: For anyone curious about what the kitchen looks like, you can check out 77MidwoodStreet.com.

hey brooklynista, sorry you won’t be able to slobber in person over 77 midwood on house tour day. it’s in contract.
A listing for 22 Midwood just went up with Corcoran for $1.5 million. That’s a really nice house for sure, but there aren’t a lot of pictures on the Corcoran site so it’s hard to tell a lot about it. 22 doesn’t look like it has a finished basement (going by the floorplan) and definitely doesn’t have a driveway or a garage. That makes this look like a steal. I’m guessing from the fact that 77 never scheduled a seconbd open house that there’s an offer on the table but don’t know – it still shows as available on the Brown Harris site. I’m curious is anyone will ask to see this house on Sunday also to compare the two.
Brooklynista, the owners were asked to be on the house tour this year but can’t participate because the house is on the market — a big no no for the LM tour. I would bet it sells by then (there is already serious interest after a single showing), but if it somehow is still available, I imagine they will hold an open house that afternoon.
After touring the website, if I was drooling yesterday, I’m now slobbering! Sigh. If this house doesn’t sell by the time of the PLG House tour, I sure hope it’s included on the tour so I can slobber in person!
Jumping In: every kitchen appliance I saw was brand spanking new and stainless steel — big french door fridge and good sized stove. Aren’t brokers limited to the number of pictures they can put up online?
Someone asked about schools: there’s an established co-op preschool and a good Montessori program a few blocks away. A charter elementary school opened last year, and some neighborhood moms are working to improve the zoned public elementary. This isn’t Park Slope for sure, but the options have improved considerably in the past few years.
Then I would love to know who was their contractor and architect because they obviously did a fantastic job.
I absolutely love this house. I am in awe of the houses on Midwood/Rutland blocks closest to Bedford. Beautifully staged. Wish I could afford it. Oh well, i do have a dollar, perhaps my dream will be fulfilled.
Not liking ever crossing Flatbush rules out some great neighborhoods. And an awesome train line. We’ll always just deal with living near Flatbush and take it for what it is because we refuse to live on any other train in Brooklyn again but the Q. The R and F traumatized me.
traditionalmod, I didn’t mean to say that this block is anything like the blocks just south of PLG. I didn’t write that comment carefully enough. And, yes, it’s definitely far in enough from Flatbush not to be an immediate problem. Only meant to agree that Flatbush is not pleasant, and you would be crossing it often living here. But I don’t really think it’s that a big deal.
