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?

This place won’t be selling for 1.5 five years from now. The economy is tanking. Write it down.
Fringe neighborhood according to who? White people who sip on starbucks coffee 4 times a day? The 2/5 trains are like 3 blocks away the Q and D are near by. Buses run up and down New York, Nostrand, Rogers, Bedford, Flatbush and Ocean Avenues. There are plenty of caribbean owned bakeries, restaurants and cafes, korean fruit stands, fast food joints, supermarkets, churches. Prospect park is near by. For a European American or African American this means nothing but for a Afro-Caribbean American/Immigrant you can’t get a better location than this.
Wollman rink, paddle boats. . .
“not the good part of the park, sadly. ”
Just the part with the Audubon Center, Lefferts Historic House Children’s Musuem, carousel, Imagination Playground zoo….
I’ll grant you that the Nethermead IS smaller than the Long Meadow 🙂
your imaginary friends are full of it about corner of Rutland and Flatbush.. . it’s quiet.
I come home every night and I know. Go by there and see for yourself.
It’s a nice house, nice block, three blocks from the park and subway.
The same comments were out there when these houses were selling for 200K, then 400K and now 800K.
Just keep on hating and watch when the person who buys this sells five years from now for 1.5M. Write it down. YOu’ll still be renting.
Prices are still rising in PLG because not everyone who wants a townhouse can spend $2M to live in PH or PS or CH, all of which were once labeled fringe too.
And most important, it’s a great place to live!
[2:19] 2:51,…street parties until 3:00 most nights? sounds like fun, but no. It can get loud, but people have to work and at 12:00 it is suddenly silent. (But forget about the W.I.-day parade… all is then chaos & celebration.)
NYC is different block by block, though. I can’t speak about your friends’ neighbors.
Also, NYC is generally noisy… the population density is very high here. (20-30K/sq. mile) Foolish young men (mostly) do drive around with their car stereos loud.
The folks from 75 are opening a B&B upstate & it should be very quiet around there. Perhaps your friends would enjoy a visit!
fringe areas are where prices are dropping, will continue to drop and don’t have the services to support the pricetags.
this area has zero amenities, the schools are horrendous and the house is almost a million bucks.
that’s a fringe area.
not virginia beach. that’s a beach. apples and oranges.
nothin beachlike about this place. except for the noise.
Dudes, what’s up with the “fringe” neighborhood thing? Is it because you are uncomfortable with people who own houses in highly desirable communities who moved to Brooklyn from the Carribean and not Iowa? Or every house that you don’t have because you can’t afford it is in a “fringe” neighborhood? Or is it code for place where the darker nation lives with highly desirable houses that I can’t possibly afford?
