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?

1:52,
Of course it’s in the Historic District, as is the rest of Lefferts Manor [the southern boundary of both is Fenimore Street] Mr. B even cites the discription of this house from thed LPC Designation Report, which you can download using the link. This house is described on p. 19.
I like the thoughtful, intelligent copy on their website but am also puzzled at the lack of interior photos. I really suggest they add more.
I remember visiting a very similar house on the Lefferts Gardens house tour that I believe is co-owned by a local RE broker and her two sisters. It was completely charming and elegant.
The immediate neighborhood is great although it’s a little isolated and local amenities haven’t really arrived in force yet. Very convenient to the Q train so only 25 minutes to lower Manhattan. You really need a car in that area so the off-street parking is a huge plus. Solid, very pretty house. Good luck to them!
Be aware that this house is not in the historic district.

The Lincoln Road entrance to the park is 5 blocks; the Parkside Avenue entrance 4 blocks.
Wow–I want it. Too bad that there aren’t more interior pictures. Then I would *really* want it.
The professional brokers should take notes on how a property should be marketed on-line from these FSBO’s. However, as well designed and informative as their website is, it should also include photo’s of the kitchen, the bathroom and at least one bedroom.
Nice house, nice layout. Should be more pictures.
I agree with 1:16 – great website; simple, very informative. Could have provided more pictures though. If they’re devoting as much common sense to marketing (getting the website seen) as they did to the website itself, I think they’ll be moving upstate in next to no time.
1.31… it’s the 71st precinct.
