House of the Day: 1211 Ditmas Avenue
Gotta say we’re surprised this Ditmas Avenue Queen Anne Victorian hasn’t been gobbled up by some eager beaver renovator since we included it as an Open House Pick back in November. While it’s a little shabby in a genteel sort of way, the detailing is mind-blowing. Granted, the exterior is going to take some dough…
Gotta say we’re surprised this Ditmas Avenue Queen Anne Victorian hasn’t been gobbled up by some eager beaver renovator since we included it as an Open House Pick back in November. While it’s a little shabby in a genteel sort of way, the detailing is mind-blowing. Granted, the exterior is going to take some dough and we wouldn’t be surprised if the plumbing or electrical needed an updating, but this place is hot in our humble opinion. Why’s no one taken the bait yet?

Is it really haunted?
It’s 2 blocks in from Coney Island Ave & it’s a major cross-over from Flatbush Ave … crazeeee amount of traffic, not the nicer part of Ditmas.
I think this house has alot of charm…but i do agree that the price should be more attractive considering what financial effort the buyer will eventually put into it.
Needs more than updating…needs a gut – of course with keeping the fabulous details.
It is no small undertaking.
this house has a lot of potential, but should be priced at about $850K. We looked at it, and loved the detail. Needs total upgrading but the period details are there for the real junkie. It should be said that the house is a little on the small size. Feels kind or pokey. The exterior was the real turn-off for us. pretty short on curb appeal despite great bones.
Maybe people are afraid of the Cheshire Cat in the bathroom?
This makes me sad. This is the house my ex boyfriend grew up in. His family lived very happily there for a long time. It might need upgrading but anyone would be very lucky to get this house. There was a lot of love there.
A great house (potentially), but as is it looks like the addams family lived there for 30 years on a very tight budget.
THE HOUSE IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE, EVERYTHING NEEDES UPGRADING, NOBODY LIVED THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE, $999 IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS HOUSE
