House of the Day: 45 St. Pauls Place
Here’s a killer FSBO house at 45 St. Pauls Place (a street that has the distinction of never having been mentioned on Brownstoner). The turn-of-the-century limestone is dripping in architectural details. Dripping. It’s also part of a group of similar houses which together present a pretty impressive face.

Here’s a killer FSBO house at 45 St. Pauls Place (a street that has the distinction of never having been mentioned on Brownstoner). The turn-of-the-century limestone is dripping in architectural details. Dripping. It’s also part of a group of similar houses which together present a pretty impressive face. The house—which is described as being a one-family with an in-law apartment—is asking $1,389,000. As stunning as the house is, a couple of questions come to mind: 1) Why no photos of kitchens or bathrooms?; 2) Isn’t it a stretch to describe this neighborhood as Prospect Park South? Granted, this isn’t our back yard, but we thought PPS didn’t start until Caton Avenue.

I lived on Ocean right near here and this is definitely a pocket of sketchy. I hated parking my car on Woodruff or St. Paul’s or Crooke because of all the broken glass and the dimly lit streets and the trash and the ferile cats.
But, the areas around this are changing, and it’s near the park and the express train. My dad grew up on Crooke Ave and it was a nice area back in the 1940’s. I’m sure it will be nice again. Some new condos going up around the corner. I definitely would consider this house if they knocked off a few hundred thou from asking price.
sterling silver–I think you are right. I live in the immediate area and quite frankly there is a lot of sketchy activity around these parts. On the other hand, despite a large number of highly visible ne’er-do-wells, the neighborhood is overwhelmingly made up of families with children who go to work in the morning and come home at night and don’t cause any trouble at all. I’ve lived here for 8 years and have not had one incident. Walked around at night by myself too. It is also been my personal experience that there has been a reduction of general streetcrime in the neighborhood–though that may be purely perception. As you get to know a place, it seems less dangerous. But its a fact that I have not heard one gunshot this summer or last summer and that was not the case when I first arrived. It is a beautiful house and I would love to buy it if I had the dough, but I still think it is overpriced for the neighborhood.
The nearby street “Crooke Avenue” says it all. . .
Sterling Silver:
The fact that someone committed a violent crime (carjacking) against *a stranger* does, in fact, make him more dangerous *to a stranger* than someone who commits domestic or acquaintance abuse.
it really is getting worse.
Agreed, 4:53pm.
This blog is getting worse and worse everyday.

that is a dicey immediate area – house just too expensive for that location. i’d sooner spend $1.4 in lefferts historic section. beautiful place though and right near park, train and victy fbush. seems so strange that small area hasn’t seen a policing effect from pps wealth influx.
