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?

You describe a number of the wonderful details of the 1850s building on the right but forgot one thing, it’s a wreck.
The wood building to the right is the oldest on the block (early 1850s): From the landmarks application: 96 Lefferts Place (Figure), a foursquare Greek Revival style mansion with its original doorway enframement, fluted Doric porch columns, and rectangular attic windows.
The Romanesque Revival was also employed in the study area for row houses, such as 174-180 Clinton Avenue (George Walgrove, 1888), in proposed Addition A, with their colorful sandstone, brick, and pressed-metal facades; on the grand four-story and basement pair at 100-102 Lefferts Place (J. A. Frost, 1892), in the proposed Clinton Hill South Historic District, with their rough- and smooth-stone fronts, Byzantine style carving, box stoops, and Spanish-tile mansards;
We don’t even usually know about recessions until AFTER they are passed us. That goes to show you how much people feed into the frenzy of the media. Most of you would have NO CLUE we were in a recession if it weren’t for the media.
you all are so stupid.
a recession does not mean life, as we know it stops.
people still buy homes in recessions, people still make money in recessions, people still raise families in recessions and people still sell homes in recessions. even expensive ones.
sure, some people will feel it.
have any of you????
i sure haven’t. my business is doing better than ever, in fact.
stop feeding into every single thing you hear on cnn.
you all are such suckers. 90% of the u.s. would have NO IDEA we were in a recession unless the media said it were so.
please stop being such ignorant, gullible americans.
“America is going into a recession…”
Going? We’re already here. Fuck GDP. History books will have it called in 2007.
