House of the Day: 49 Rutland Road
This place sure is purdy.

This place sure is purdy. According to the listing, the four-story brick and limestone house at 49 Rutland Road in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is one of five houses in a row designed by the architect John J. Petit in 1897. The interior of the 3,500-square-foot house is full of original detailspier mirrors, wood mantels, and ribbon pattern parquet floorsbut has obviously had some modern updating in the right places. All good. And what about the asking price of $1,450,000? Think it’ll fly? There’s a pair of open houses this weekend for the curious.

Does anyone else think The What is not one person anymore? I can’t help feeling that many others have borrowed his identity to rant or have fun…
I love how trolls always complain about being called a troll. Like every time. Is that the sole troll defense? To claim no trolls exist anywhere on the internet and it’s all a figment of our imagination? Nice strategy. Like something out of the Bush administration.
I love how people call those that don’t agree 100% with their viewpoints, trolls.
It shows just how closed-minded you are.
Just IGNORE posts that you don’t like or don’t interest you. Really. It makes it easier for the rest of us reading the thread. Threads get ruined by troll feeding far more than the original troll posting. Just stop feeding the troll. Eventually s/he will get bored and go away.
With a few exceptions,aside from “the What’s” nonsense, which is strewn over all threads here, this particular thread is far more civilized than anything devoted to PLG just a few months ago.
This website seems more popular than ever.
# of comments seem through the roof.
‘Crap’ is the only reason I tune in to this stupid website. And B’stoner doesn’t mind one bit about the tone, he just wants your eyeballs so he can sell more ad space at better rates.
Didn’t someone suggest posting more on sex parties. That’s the way to go. Enough already with the crown moulding and original detail hot air.
Forget the bile; let’s start with the great minds that somehow think Constitutional rights APPLY TO A FRIGGIN’ BLOG’S COMMENT SECTION.
What the hell are they teaching in schools?!
Yes, Roberto…actually I have talked to a couple real estate broker friends and asked them how this website and others has affected their business…
I was surprised to find out that even the homes that were vigorously trashed received a huge amount of attention and that properties highlighted here sell much quicker and for higher amounts.
So the advertisers get what they want out of this site and really if your interest is primarily in learning new things about Brooklyn, then why bother reading the comments at all?
If you don’t like what people are saying, just don’t read the comments.
It’s pretty simple. You will get the benefit of seeing what’s new, what’s for sale, what’s coming and filtering out the parts that you seem to find offensive.
