House of the Day: 168 Midwood Street
This three-story limestone house at 168 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is chock full of old-school details and has been recently renovated to bring the kitchen and baths up to date.

This three-story limestone house at 168 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is chock full of old-school details and has been recently renovated to bring the kitchen and baths up to date. It’s got a nice feel to it, which is good because the owner (who’s selling it herself) is trying to sell it for almost double what she paid in 2004. The asking price now is $1,350,000, versus $730,000 four years ago. Of course, prices in the nabe have gone up dramatically in that time and she put some dough into the reno. There was an open house yesterday. Did anyone stop by?

I, in particular, am dumb because I am not in the habit of bringing up children.
Why are you so smart? Are you – gasp – supermommie from the Slope?
the red chair at the dining room table is a Stokke high chair and every single person with kids and this budget — meaning everyone interested in this house — would know that. Who are you people? And why are you all so damn dumb?
The reality is that most of the buyers that would be willing to live in that neighborhood can’t get the mortgage. It is a rare person that is selling in the Upper East and deciding that they feel at home in PLG. I’ve talked to some of the potential buyers — those who came to open houses, but decided not to buy after walking around for a while. Sad to say, but true. (Please don’t race-bait, it is more about the amenities in the community than anything else.) Because the buyer pool is now so limited becuase of the harsh mortgage restrictions, this property will have to be significantly reduced.
“What are the elementary school options in PLG?”
For public I would look slightly south of PLG at the mini schools in PS 139 (on Argyle Rd.) or PS 217 even further south. The elementary schools in PLG proper are not so hot.
1-family . . . rule applies to almost all houses on Maple, Midwood and Rutland out to Rogers Ave.
Anybody in the neighborhood have a theory as to why the houses on Midwood don’t seem to be moving this spring?
If I were you I would not be betting my nuts on price drop to 1M. Even in this market, gone are the days that Midwood Street in LM will go for less than 1M+.
Hey does that single family occupancy covenant apply here too? Ditto for Rutland road?
Love the block and the house seems ok but house is overpriced by @ 275K.
No way! It comes with a Christmas Tree factory in the rear yard!
SOLD!
