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?

3:43: “Saying you’re white and love living in a mostly black neighborhood is an anomoly.”
Unless black people love you…

I frequently stay away from the jewish, puerto rican, caucasian midwestern, african american, and anything near the middle east side of Park Slope/ Lefferts. I’m glad to see that other people like myself have yet to evolve, where would we be,what would we do if we didn’t have idiots, and idiots bashing other idiots for being idiots, it all starts at birth.
No one WANTS or NEEDS this house.
Happy, 3:45?
The topic here is the “house of the day.” No one gives a shit about your wants and needs.
Funny all the nannys in PS live in this area… back in the 50 and 60s all the nannys in BH and UES lived in PS. We keep pushing the nannys out… What’s up with that? Who is going watch these PS babies?
Birds of a feather flock together.
It’s been that way since the beginning of time and will be that way till the end of time.
Saying you’re white and love living in a mostly black neighborhood is an anomoly. It doesn’t mean everyone else is racist.
It means you are unusual.
I am in agreement with most of the comments here regarding the unkempt and thrift-store aspect of this house (i.e., Saran wrapped couch, outmoded kitchen, clutter, etc..), however, the onus lies on the broker to better present and price the house. I would hope that the broker is a church buddy of the seller and is doing this gratis. Coming from a broker, I was eagerly tempted to point this listing out so as to illustrate the cardinal errors of an untutored FSBO seller.
This is not to cast aspersions on Lanixter Realty, but really…Shame on you!
If this is the standard fare in Mom-and-Pop brokerage, I now see why most on this site so vehemently rail against brokers and their exorbitant fees.
U see: Fugly kitchen and bath. I see: kitchen with built ins, original doors, tin ceiling and real wood cabinets you can transform (or maybe they are just stained plywood). Bath=stained glass, pedestal sink, antique toilet. Ok, it needs updating and the price is aggressive, but I’d prefer this over new shite any day! And I do mean high end shite.
