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.

So what’s the market-clearing price for this house? I’d pay $1.9 cash.

DC just bulldozed its entire southeastern section and built abunch of condos. Literly leveled blocks and blocks of rowhouses and public housing.
It went from a Ghetto to an expensive area in literally a year.
Same with DC Chinatown. They tore down a ton of blocks and put a basketball arena on top of it.
Ah. I haven’t looked at that thread yet. Only have another minute or two anyway.
No lumping!
No, no, no, Clintonhillbuyer, take a look at the thread posted on Brooklynian (Jan. 9th I think) which was cited by 2:21 on this thread.
Two incidents on the same day. One at about 2am and one at 10:30am. The park attendant had to rush the children playing at the playground into the brick structure/bathroom for safety! One kid was left in the swings alone. I almost cried reading that.
They were considered grudge shootings I think. But several shots were fired both times. THIS year.
“Last August some teenagers were shooting a gun into some of the backyards along Park Place but thats as close as we’ve come to “drive by shootings.”
ah yes, that is so much better than drive-by shootings.
3:44, merci beaucoup, mon ami!
Nokilissa, you can perhaps blame me for the confusion. I lumped you and Heather together in a different context under the “Multiple Price Cuts for Heights Houses” discussion. Sorry about that – you’re two of my favorites.
I have never seen anything like what is happening in Brooklyn today. None of the examples you cite are remotely comparable.
It is like we lost a war to another country and the winners are overtaking all our neighborhoods and throwing us all out. Brooklynites are like the vanquished. There is no place here for us any more so we need to pack up and emmigrate. It is unbelievable. From zero dollars to 2.7 million in how long? seven years? nine years? What part of Washington DC or San Francisco is like that?
what drive by shootings? I live down the block and haven’t seen/heard of any drive by shootings at the playground. You people dont have a clue what you’re talking about. Last August some teenagers were shooting a gun into some of the backyards along Park Place but thats as close as we’ve come to “drive by shootings.”
Hey 3:39! That wasn’t me!
It was Heather.
I like the hill.
