House of the Day: 394 Stuyvesant Avenue
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…

Think they’ll get it?

I haven’t heard anything about a Mexican place, but I did hear that a Spanish restaurant was opening in the old Creative Blossoms storefront (which is pretty small). They’ve been doing work in there, but it’s pretty slow. Anyone hear any updates on the new Peaches place? The bodega on Lewis and Halsey is going more upscale. They’ve even added a granite countertop at the cash register. They told me there were adding a whole outdoor fruit and vegetable section – they said it would be freshfruits and vegetables, not moldy old fruits and vegetables.
I think it will be.. I think its going to be near Macon and Lewis… I am sure we will hear more about it soon.
exactly Mopar… I think the people of Stuyvesant Heights have to do what the people of Park Slope did 25 years ago and invite the bankers to these houses.
Thrilled about the Mexican. Will it be sit down?
In reality, that area nearer Clinton Hill is priced higher because it’s closer to Clinton Hill. As far as this particular house is concerned, if the appraiser could use those comps Amzi is talking about, then this house would appraise. And there’s really no reason not to — they’re both in Bed Stuy.
New Mexican on Lewis? Details!
Amzi, not sure how much I believe it but some say the schools in that area is decent vs. ones in heights is so so
I guess your right m4l but with Lewis really picking with two very crowed restaurants and a new Mexican opening this summer retail will be big around here in a few years…
Amzi, only thing that comes to mind is the diff in retail density. Other than that, dont know why the case on the price disparity btwn that area and heights area
