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.

“when park slope was in a similar state of gentrification, you would be spending 400K for a house like this.”
Exactly–well put.
and to follow that up, it’s not that i don’t think someone should buy this lovely home, i just don’t think someone should be spending almost 3 million dollars to live in a neighborhood which has broad daylight drive by shootings at a playground.

“but I live in this nabe and have been out on this very corner at all hours and it’s country quiet.”
I almost always agree with you Fjorder, but I don’t think “country quiet” is necessarily a good thing in a neighborhood once known for gangs and violence. It’s improved immensely, but I find quiet corners in this city a little scary, to be quite frank.
Great. Now they’re even driving the armenians out of PH.
There were 2 other relevant posts on brooklynian about muggings and gun violence in the last month on this block:

And then there’s the fact that there’s a forclosure at 136 underhil that was discussed here a few weeks ago too.
So, I don’t think the fact that Fjorder “feels” safe is enough to make 2.7 a reasonable price. I am looking in this neighborhood, but you do get a discount for risking your safety in hopes of continued improvement in the area.
2:35, no whey!
2:33…
Last time I checked, the difference between 2.75 million and 2 million was $750,000.
NOT $75,000!!!
And I’M THE A##HAT???!
Will some of the proceeds be donated to the kurds?
I would buy it except it has no recessed lighting, so take about 300000 of asking and then its a go.
