House of the Day: 72 Rutland Road
This four-story limestone house at 72 Rutland Road is on one of the best blocks in Lefferts Manor and has plenty of nice original detail (“6 Fireplaces with Mantels, Built-in Shutters, Pocket Doors, Parquet Floors & Beautiful Mirrors with Amazing Wood Work,” says the listing) going for it.

This four-story limestone house at 72 Rutland Road is on one of the best blocks in Lefferts Manor and has plenty of nice original detail (“6 Fireplaces with Mantels, Built-in Shutters, Pocket Doors, Parquet Floors & Beautiful Mirrors with Amazing Wood Work,” says the listing) going for it. The kitchen’s a tough sell, though, and the bathroom decor’s not going to be for everyone. Seems to us that any house in this area asking $1,525,000 should be close to perfect on every account. Think they’ve got a shot at that price?

As someone from the Carribean (or West Indies if you must), we generally shop in the same stores as american-born americans. My diet does not consist solely of pineapples you know. Go to Jamaica, guess what the stores have: the same damn stuff as stores here. Yes the curry is more prominently placed in JA stores, but all the products are essentially the same.
And we don’t all congregate on the street all night. That’s more of a 5th ave in PS type thing
I would not want to buy a apt in caroll gardens or park slope and get a large house in crown heights… It seems like everyone on here looks down the block but never looks at long road. Prices are not going to go anywhere for awhile.. Maybe asking prices are going to stand still… But the house SELLS are not going to go down anywhere in NYC
The fringe areas always take a dive in bad economies, 4:32.
It’s a no brainer.
People will want to center around Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights as much as possible.
I think the “fringe areas” are going to better because more people are going to be able to afford to live there…
Kensington and Windsor Terrace has no beautiful brownstone like crown heights and Bedford Stuyvesant. The Brownstone Architecture in CH and BS has more appeal and character Kensington and WindsorTerrace… The same architects in PS like Montrose Morris etc… are the same architects that designed the grand brownstones in CH and BS in the 1880/1890s…
I wouldn’t buy in Kensington now either. All of the fringe areas are about to have serious price declines.
Neither Crown Heights nor PLG are good investments at these prices at this point in time.
You’re better off with Kensington or Windsor Terrace is you want to buy in a slightly fringe neighborhood.
that’s hot.
This house has great potential. I think It will go for abt 1.2….Yeah the kitchen needs a do over but that way you get what YOU want. Only thing is Im not crazy abt PLG. I prefer Crown Heights personally, where I live (the other black and quickly gentrifying side of the park)…..
