House of the Day: 56 Hawthorne Street
This three-story, bay-front house at 56 Hawthorne Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens looks mighty sweet and priced quite fairly at $999,000. The regular reader who tipped us off to the listing (and lives down the block) writes, “I’ve seen it and it’s gorgeous, though the top floor needs plaster repair and painting.” The only quibble…
This three-story, bay-front house at 56 Hawthorne Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens looks mighty sweet and priced quite fairly at $999,000. The regular reader who tipped us off to the listing (and lives down the block) writes, “I’ve seen it and it’s gorgeous, though the top floor needs plaster repair and painting.” The only quibble we can imagine people having is that the kitchen appears not to have updated in a while. Looks fine, though. Anyone else seen it?

I do, 2:44. Keep it crackin’, The What.
I pass this home on the way to my hairdresser.Its a few more blocks than only 2 to the park but not much further.That being said, looks nice and I think although the kitchen wasnt “updated” it goes with the flow of the house.
Simply gorgeous listing. Can’t wait to own a brownstone. Actually, I can and will.
Hey, I’m The Who, as in Who gives a damn about the The What.
Really, nobody wants to be inundated with your ramblings, at least not on these forums.
I know people who just–and I do mean just–bought a beautifully renovated brownstone on Lincoln in Lefferts Manor for 1 million. This one on Hawthorne has to be worth at least 100K less than that. In fact I’d say this should be worth 200K less–this one is not nearly as nice and it is not in the manor.
Worthy to note that, unlike other fringe areas like Clinton Hill, BedStuy etc., PLG home prices have not doubled in the last 2-3 years.
In that sense, they have much less air in their bubble to lose *if* the big burp comes, as they have had nowhere near the precipitous price run-up that other fringe neighborhoods have experienced.
Just sayin’.
Thanks The What (seriously).
As usual The What is one-note. On the other hand, it is mildly relevant when dicussing a fringe area like PLG. When the inevitable does occur, even if it is only very mild in NYC, it will hit areas like PLG hardest. So I would totally disagree with Bstoner’s description of the price as quite fair.
thanks for getting yet another thread off to a good start, the what.
you are so pathetic it’s not even funny.
