House of the Day: 905 Lincoln Place
Here’s a new listing that probably would have been priced $100,000 or $200,000 higher a few months ago. It’s a three-story, two-family limestone at 905 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights. The block is lovely and the house has amazing wood moldings and floors; no word on the bathrooms and kitchens. Anyway, there’s something refreshingly solid…

Anyway, there’s something refreshingly solid about this one: Beautiful but not grandiose house priced at a level that a non-Wall Street family can afford. Think it’ll go for the asking price?

Crains:
“For the year, significant price rises occurred in Clinton Hill, up 8%, and Bay Ridge, 7%, neighborhoods, while Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill saw double digit price declines. The largest increases in number of sales occurred in Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens, while Canarsie and Crown Heights had the biggest declines in numbers of homes sold.”
Beautiful woodwork in that house.
That’s the weirdest floorplan I’ve ever seen.
– the garden floor resident gets a bathroom with a bay (?) window looking over the backyard and no bedroom
– the parlor floor resident has a kitchen with no appliances and a bathroom with two sinks and a toilet but no shower or tub, plus two tiny ‘bedrooms’
– the top floor resident gets four bedrooms
All that broker doublespeak about two-family house with tenants on two floors makes me wary. Some kind of communal living going on on those top two floors?
the comps for this neighborhood say houses of this size sold in crown heights for an average of $845K in the last year. Price seems right to me…
Just read today that Crown Heights and Canarsie had double digit price decreases in 2007.
The rest of Brooklyn saw increases in home appreciation.
I’d be wary.
It doesn’t say anything about the situation with the tenants. Using the word “Currently” when describing the tenants does not suffice as full information. Find out if they are rent control or not. Also check the C of O. Sounds like they have a 2-family C of O and tenants making it a 3-family which screws things up. The seller would have to get it straightened out before selling.
Thank goodness we have some equal opportunity anti-semitism surfacing to balance out all of the anti-black bile that gets spewed in these comments, plus the frequent gay-bashing and the occasional anti-asian rants. What about the hispanics, can’t they get some anonymous “loving” too?? If this was “Brownstoner, 1880s edition” I’d guess we’d have to deal with the anti-papists, too, but their days seem to be over.
Yeah, what’s up with the floorplan? Looks ridiculous!
1:55, some people who wear what 1:57 so offensively refers to as deceiving-looking “little hats” keep separate kitchens.
the neighborhood photo cant be from the same block as the advertised house. I hate deceiving agents. They look deceiving too in their little hats.
