House of the Day: 144 Underhill Avenue
This 4-story, 23-foot wide brownstone at 144 Underhill Avenue is a beauty but it’s priced as if it were on the other side of Flatbush Avenue. The more we look at the photos of this place, the more we like it—the woodwork, the multiple exposures, the old extension. (Don’t forget the two-car garage.) It all…
This 4-story, 23-foot wide brownstone at 144 Underhill Avenue is a beauty but it’s priced as if it were on the other side of Flatbush Avenue. The more we look at the photos of this place, the more we like it—the woodwork, the multiple exposures, the old extension. (Don’t forget the two-car garage.) It all adds up to one heck of a place. We just don’t think the market’s ready to bear a $2,750,000 asking price in this location yet.

“there has not been a murder in park slope in quite some time.”
Last murder in Park Slope – late 2005
Last murder in Prospect Heights – late 2006
big difference?
uhhh….10:05, that link talks about a homeless man who died.
there was no crime involved.
there has not been a murder in park slope in quite some time.
You’re right Park Slope, violnece/crime doesn’t happen there:

Based on comparables, this house is worth about $2.3M.
The safety issue regarding Prospect Heights is laughable–there are murders, robberies and bank hostage situations that have occurred in Park Slope–who the hell wants to live there??!! Prospect Heights has tripled in value over the last 7 years. Let’s hope that the thieving Park Slopers stay on their side of Flatbush! That means Library, Botanic Garden or Museum for you!
did any of you know that RFK’s daughter lives on Montgomery Place?
by the way, can someone explain “white flight” to me. I hear that happened to prospect heights in the 1950’s.
9:46…What murder on Vandy this year? The one in front of Fish & Crustaceans on Fulton? PH now extends North of Atlantic? Soon all of Brooklyn will be ours!!!
“Clinton Hill is edgy”—really, not most of it. Have you been there lately?
I would pay $1.5 cash for it.
