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?

I agree with many of the above posters. I think that the area is attracting buyers from places like Park Slope, who want things more finished and “done” and these are the people who are pushing the prices up in the nabe. The buyer that used to be attracted to the neighborhood and was willing to buy a fixer-upper is now priced out of the neighborhood. Just because some things are selling at higher prices doesn’t mean that everything there will sell at higher prices. You have to know your buyer.
This house was in contract but allegedly the deposit check bounced. You never know if this is the true story.
Needs a lot of updating. The pictures show it off well but of course avoid the skeleton kitchen, some holes in the ground floor and ancient bathrooms.
Monstor of a house, lots of potential, but the asking price is a bit too high IMO.
This is on Ditmas Ave..although nice block it is still on Ditmas Ave.
The detail is beautiful but local is not ideal

Is there a house tour in Ditmas??!!
Is there a house tour anywhere else?
I thought this one was in contract or at least had an accepted offer a while back?
It’s haunted.
Is there a house tour in Ditmas? Anybody know? Actually, does anybody keep a comprehensive list of house tours in Bklyn? I know Clinton Hill is May 7 or something. I’m not quite ready to move to Ditmas, but damn, are there some pretty houses there.
