House of the Day: 820 Jefferson Avenue
Today’s House of the Day at 820 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant has some incredible original woodwork in it but, at the end of the day, it’s hard to see how anyone will write a check for the asking price of $1,350,000. First of all, it’s only three stories; secondly, for that price in this…
Today’s House of the Day at 820 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant has some incredible original woodwork in it but, at the end of the day, it’s hard to see how anyone will write a check for the asking price of $1,350,000. First of all, it’s only three stories; secondly, for that price in this area, you’d want the complete package and the kitchen and backyard leave a good deal to be desired. Still, we can’t stop staring at the photos of moldings, fireplaces and mirrors, so we guess it’s possible that someone will just fall in love and have to have it.

Wood does not = Hood
If this is 1.35m then my house in CG just doubled in value. Come on people there is a little nice woodwork in this house but it ant putting it over the mil mark in that hood!
oh, i see. well that certainly makes sense. i guess since i can’t imagine buying a place and then still having money for a big renovation, i take the floorplans pretty literally : )
3:33
I’m not looking at the current uses of the rooms, I’m looking at how I would renovate them to resell at a big profit…..I mean to live in forever.
I never see what is actually there but I see what could be there. what could be there in this case is really nice, especially wih some of the nice wood trim, and many fewer exposed brick walls.
sam, i really don’t get how you can say the layouts are so good. do people really like bedrooms off of diningrooms? i wouldn’t. and look at the second floor–the bedroom has a part kitchen essentially in it. isn’t that at least odd? i guess we have different tastes in layouts.
me again,
the floorplans are excellent. once you figure out that they have the cellar labelled “basement” and basement as “first floor”.
Three-room-deep layouts are the best.
parlor in the front, dining room in the center, big kitchen in the back with powder room. Perfect.
Again, its the location that is a little dubious,
I hate to join the haters, but this time they are definitely right.
It’s 18 feet wide, 3 stories tall and way out fo the best area of Bed Stuy.
Nice interior, but not house tour quality, either.
It can’t sell for more than $8 or 900K, max.
I like the facade, fortress-like, strong, like a palazzo in Florence.
The garden has nice clipped shrubs.
The look is good, unfortunately, the stock market is crash diving again today and this time it looks real ugly.
This could signal the end of million dollar house sales in Bed Stuy for a while.
$1.35M for a 3-story on the far side of Malcom X? More like ‘Laugh of the Day’. Ahh, euphoria never felt better.
The house is beautiful but I’ve seen bigger and more beautiful ones closer to the A train on Decatur and Macdonough street. I don’t think this house can go for anything close to $1M because it is too far from the A train and “downtown Stuvyesant Heights” (i.e. Bread Stuy, Brownstone Books, Solomon’s Porch). A house just as gorgeous as this and one floor higher, on Bainbridge b/w Stuyvesant and Malcolm X, went for $999K (and that illicited a bunch of wows! from the neighbors) so I wonder what the pricing logic here is.
