This house at 394 Stuyvesant Avenue is a perfect example of why Stuyvesant Heights is known for having such incredible architecture. The three-family house has some serious woodwork–moldings, mantels, built-ins and parquet floors–and, according to the listing, a “huge arched basement that can be transformed into a wine cellar.” The asking price is $1,200,000, which isn’t low for the area but neither is it unprecedented by any means. Think they’ll get it?

  1. Rob – what the hell are you talking about? Do you constantly talk about a 20 dollar ice cream and wine bars in relation to what people want in their neighborhood.

    After yesterday’s comments, you should really STFU. I guess you missed my post about how you got reported to the terrorism hotline.

    If someone wants to live in bed stuy and spend $20 on an ice cream, it is their money and their decision. At least they dont whine about how broke they are because they choose to live in expensive areas like park slope or chelsea with roommates and shop at bodegas.

    Did you pack your bags and your cripple dog to leave town?

  2. mopar – the third floor of 388 was all seperate rooms – they did not connect. the owners son was living up there. had one room set up as a living area. then a bedroom. kitchen and bath and needed upgrading. the top floor was just rooms. don’t remember the bath situation up there.

    this house -the kitchen is on the parlour in the extension. it is tinsy-like 2 people standing is alot! there is a half bath on the parlour. the garden is an apartment-not sure how you access that ‘wine cellar’ with out going outside. the third floor is 2 large bedrooms and a full bathroom. the top floor is the tenant – who i understand came with the house, and is paying below market rent. not sure if the house will be delivered vacant.

    i would love to see this property get a great price but not sure it will happen.

  3. Unfortunately inviting bankers and appraisers to the area will not help appraised values. Bankers and Mortgage Brokers are bound by the HVCC and can not have any interaction with the appraisers. There are a few handful of banks that allow us to use our own appraisers but 99% of the banks abide by HVCC so it really will not help.

    If you search back a few years on my posts you will see that I predicted that HVCC would be a complete boondoggle, too bad I was right since it has caused homeowners a lot of problems and thousands of dollars.

  4. I agree with bkny and Nomi….it needs to be a triplex with a garden apartment. There’s no C of O so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

    Mexican??? Which store???

    Chicco is moving fast on his seafood place on halsey & Stuyvesant.

    Re: the Lewis/halsy bodega…i noticed a few weeks ago that they had eggs, both regular & organic and a few other produce items added. I noticed last night that they painted the side of the building…ugly btight white but still progress.

    Yes Amzi, the bodegas need a class in classier signage, especially mine!!!!

  5. Bkny, that is insane! Curious how do 288’s top floors look? I only saw the parlor and garden floors on a house tour a few years ago. And what about this place’s bathrooms? So the kitchen is tiny…it’s not in the rear of the garden floor? Or they are using the butler’s pantry as the kitchen?

    MaconMan: I did not know that. Thanks for the info!

  6. Mopar: I do mean the Brownstone Books space. While it is being used as an event space, that is only temporary. The space is being merged with the gallery space next store and will open this summer. The guys at Peaches have been secretive about exactly what will be opening – but I’m excited about it nonetheless.
