House of the Day: 100 Lefferts Place
Why anyone would even considering paying over $2 million for a three-story house on Classon when they could pick up a five-story place on Lefferts Place for $1.8 million is beyond us. Granted there are no interior pics and the Lefferts Hotel is just down the block, but we’re willing to take this BHS broker’s…

Why anyone would even considering paying over $2 million for a three-story house on Classon when they could pick up a five-story place on Lefferts Place for $1.8 million is beyond us. Granted there are no interior pics and the Lefferts Hotel is just down the block, but we’re willing to take this BHS broker’s word that the 6,100-square-foot house is chock-full of period details. Given that it’s been chopped up into five floor-through apartments, though, we also bet it’s far from in perfect shape. Nonetheless, this could be an interesting condo conversion play. Agree?

like i said from my previous post i lived on this block for 2 years over 6 years ago and i never had a problem. i think the crime that happens in the area is drug related and as long you don’t plan on dealing drugs i doubt you would randomly get shot in the head.
i don’t understand why there is so much hostility on this blog and how little vision people have about the future of neighborhoods. we aren’t talking about east new york or brownsville this building is on the cusp of other great neighborhoods.
go back ten years and a lot of places that are now prized locations weren’t doing that great and had similar crime statistics. this is a gorgeous home and a steal at the price. they want $2.9 for the colonial less then a block away. http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/rfs/606168386.html
A lot of people on here seem very closed minded and just plain ignorant.
you guys should really start exploring Brooklyn instead of never leaving the 10-15 blocks that surround your home. Brooklyn is amazing as whole.

i didn’t know that 4:35.
over this house.
and the neighborhood.
no thank you.
who pays more then 200K to live in a neighborhood with that kinda stuff going on.
At $1700/fl, as a rental it’s worth 850k – 1.0m depending on how optimistic you are about future rent increases and how little you are prepared to make on your investment/time.
How much more than that do you want to pay for the privilege of owning in CH? Why?

You don’t like the word sketchy. What word do you use to describe a block where 2 kids were shot in the head on Christmas eve?
Wow this look really nice inside.. I live in Stuyvesant Heights and the houses across the street from mine on MacDonough Street looks very similar to these homes… I think the people that get this home will be happy with there purchase.

look guys pictures!
lots of great details i think this is a great condo conversion at $300 a square foot and an easy sell of $700 a square foot as condos. i used to live on this block 6 years ago! i moved out because there wasn’t enough of a neighborhood there at the time and have been living in carroll gardens since, in an apartment half the size of the one i had on lefferts.
Wow that is handsome building! I own a Romanesque Revival brownstone and they usally come with strong bones with lots of details.
Leffert’s hotel will not last 5 yrs.
Go for it renters and stop sissy footin’.
I say it goes for 1.4 regardless of the interior.
That’s cheaper on a ppsf basis than other houses that have sold on this block recently (e.g. 1.5 for a 4000 sq footer).
