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.

“hey The What, and all the rest of you who say this site is shit, i have a question:
why do you keep reading?
if you don’t like it just go away. or is hating part of the fun?”
No Dumb-ass. I need to know whats going on”
Now I know what the ‘light side is thinking’.
Now do me a favor, go back to your hole.
Maria is incorrect. Here is a map from Marykay Gallagher’s site that actually shows the particular neighborhood boundaries thoughout the “Ditmas Park” area which she properly calls “Victorian Flatbush.”

Maria, if I had more time I’m sure I could find a map that contradicts yours. I live on Hawthorne b/t Nostrand & NY (so-called PLG)but everyone in my neighborhood calls it Flatbush, even people who lived here for at least 30 years. Flatbush is way down the map you’ve linked to. Maybe my neighbors mean East Flatbush?
2:13 – I hardly think the fact that someone who commits a crime lives on a certain block means that the neighborhood is automatically dangerous, unless the predisposition for crime is in the water there. Robert Chambers, the “Preppy Killer” lived on the Upper East Side, and Joel Steinberg, who killed his adoptive child, lived in the Village. I hardly think their neighbors’ property values plummeted, or anyone thought their blocks were somehow responsible for their acts. This information seems to only be brought up when talking about living in the hood.
Absolutely beautiful house, and beautiful block. Maybe the presence of homeowners who want to work for positive change will have an effect. That said, the price does seem astronomical. That kind of money does assume a level of safety and convenience that may not be there at present, but I have a feeling it’s nowhere as dangerous as the hype. With all due respect to kensington gal and her horrible experiences, some people may find the house, block and location warrant taking a chance for the future. Especially if the price is reduced.
The real news here is that it’s a beautiful house in a dangerous neighborhood. Some people evidently don’t like to hear that parts of our borough are dangerous, but it’s the truth.
maria owned!
