House of the Day: 75 Fenimore Street
Here’s an interesting FSBO. The 1,872-square-foot brick house at 75 Fenimore Street is a comfortable-looking four-bedroom with its own driveway and garage. According to the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District Designation Report, the house, which was built around 1920, is particularly notable for its “steep slate mansard roods and ornamental doorway enframements.” The asking price…

According to the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District Designation Report, the house, which was built around 1920, is particularly notable for its “steep slate mansard roods and ornamental doorway enframements.” The asking price of $825,000 seems reasonable to us, but none of the similar houses to either side have changed hands in recent years so close comps aren’t available; a three-story brownstone across the street at 74 Fenimore Street changed hands for $550,000 in 2003. Think this’ll move at this price?

3:02 and 3:03–“next block” meant the first block of Rutland, right off of Flatbush. They don’t describe it as quiet at all. They complain bitterly about street noise from people hanging out in front of the apartment building at the corner of Flatbush and noise from the same apartment building in the back of their house (facing Fenimore). But I don’t live there so I can’t really say more than that.
I must of grown up in a fringe area in Virginia.. My parents paid 120K for there house in Virginia Beach back in 1985 and sold it two years ago for 950K
Great FSBO website (other than the lack of pics). Many realtors could learn a thing or two. Nice work.
2:19: “next block over”: Rutland or Hawthorne?
Which next block do your friends live on?
The first block of Rutland is really quiet and so is the next block of fenimore between bedford and rogers.
2:19 that’s an interesting take on the noise issue. Not at all what I’ve heard from my friends who live on the next block–they talk about street parties with mulitple car stereos booming unitl 3:00 at night most nights. But since you live there…
what does that mean “not the good part of the park” how can there be a not good part of the park? I haven’t heard of any crime in prospect park lately, and it’s all pretty.
“Only two blocks to Prospect park…”
yeah, not the good part of the park, sadly.
It looks like a nice house. Also, when I get around to selling my homeI’d like to these owners come back from central NY and market my place. They’ve done a better job than any broker.
