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 details—pier mirrors, wood mantels, and ribbon pattern parquet floors—but 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.

I’m sorry, 3:24, but I thought this was a privately owned and operated site, not a public forum. “Freedom of speech” would be at the discretion of the site’s owner, and clearly this site’s owner doesn’t have a problem with the ever-expanding percentage of crap filling up the “comments.” But I see your point. I do think it is sad that the topic(s) appear to be nothing more than an excuse for some juveniles to act naughty. One can almost hear the twerps giggling after posting their racist rants.
Do you think the sea of slop that gets posted is good for business? I seriously doubt that there is any business at all generated from someone who posts such gems of literacy as, “Put down the crack pipe homeboy. Come to Jesus!”
Then again, what should one expect from the internet?
Bush is monitoring this thread right now and doesn’t like what he is seeing.
“nothing is added by the “participation” of that troll.”
Nope, just freedom of speech. who needs that. SO overrated.
“Maybe one ought to have to register to be allowed to post. At least then there would be a way to monitor the bile being spewed…”
the comments would go from 100 a thread to 10. not too good for business.
I’m with you Brenda. I’ve been “lurking” here for a while, and getting more and more disappointed with the poor netiquette. Too bad B can’t put a block on The What’s IP address, and keep him (her?) away: nothing is added by the “participation” of that troll. Maybe one ought to have to register to be allowed to post. At least then there would be a way to monitor the bile being spewed…
And just to get back on topic a bit: the house is lovely, and PLG is really a great option for those priced out of PS, PH and Manhattan. Like me…;)
“Peewee’s Playhouse” as written by David Mamet???
Sounds AWESOME!
Suck it, Brenda!
Well sure, you can buy this house if it were in Park Slope in PS 321 if you had $3.5 million.
Go ahead.
Oh right, you don’t have $3.5. Some of you might have $1.5. This is what you can afford in that case. Deal with it and stop insulting those who are realistic enough to buy what they can afford, instead of continuing to rent and whining about prices in Park Slope like you all do.
What…precisely…is the problem with keeping a modicum of civility to one’s online discourse? I am as snarky as the next guy (or gal) (but usually guy, it seems), but I don’t get the need for all this rancor and stupidity. It’s like road rage, I guess–you’re “safe” behind a screen venting your sophomoric bile. Why a discussion about a cute if overpriced house in a lovely if imperfect neighborhood should deteriorate into “Peewee’s Playhouse” as written by David Mamet is utterly beyond me.
2:46,
In the off chance that your question is serious, the single family deed covenant and R2 zoning would preclude condos on this block.
Is this a condo? If so, it sucks.
