House of the Day: 1219 Bergen Street
Even if the listing for today’s HOTD on Bergen Street didn’t include a photo with an easel and frames in it, one might still be able to guess that an artist lived there.

Even if the listing for today’s HOTD on Bergen Street didn’t include a photo with an easel and frames in it, one might still be able to guess that an artist lived there. The house has a very pleasing (in our opinion) vibe that is at once minimalist and respectful of its architectural history. (Either that, or the owner is using a great stager!) The listing is a little skimpy on photos though so it’s impossible to know if the rest of the house has the same feel. The fact that the 16-footer is located between New York and Brooklyn Avenues in the footprint of first phase of Crown Heights North landmark district makes the $850,000 asking price a little easier to digest, no?

“This area is not great, and not really near the museum or park. ”
are you referring to the bklyn children’s museum? how is this not near that museum? it’s a block away, isn’t it?
Sorry, that’s the 77th and not the 71st.
This area is not great, and not really near the museum or park. It’s in the 71st precinct, where there were 23 murders last year, and another 50 murders took place in the surrounding 3 precincts.
Calling it the ‘Crown Heights North Landmark District’ doesn’t make it any safer, although it does sound cozy.
i believe there’s only one ktichen…which needed a great deal of updating
I would have to see the bathrooms and more of the kitchen(s) before I could comment on the price. Are there two kitchens? It’s unclear as the ad reads, it’s a legal 2-family but used as one. I will say the area is great because you are so close to the park and children’s museum. I think that’s a plus and may be a grea thing for a family.
Looks like it needs alot of interior work, and where are the pics of the Bathrooms??
does anybody know what the deal is with the 2nd floor windows? i’ve seen other houses like this, with the windows squashed up against each other, but usually this sort of asymmetry is something i associate with Fedderstones. how
In reference to “http://www.nwnyrealty.com/Listing/ViewListingDetails.aspx?ListingID=862237&Bb=TR&Cc=862237,” I remember this property being renovated last summer. Needless to say, they didn’t use the best material and it was definitely cheap labor.
On the plus side, it has a beautiful exterior. I’ve never been inside, but I think it still has some details left and as Brownstoner mentioned it is part of the 1st phase of the Crown Heights North landmark district.
also….1221 bergen sold for $825K in september…so it’s not that badly priced i guess.
