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.

“you do recognize that Underhill is exactly two blocks from the border of this magical Park Slope of which you speak, correct?”
would you like to use this same logic for 96th and lex as well…?
one block one way is the upper east side, one block in the opposite direction is east harlem.
big difference in price and crime stats, don’t ya think?
you are new to new york, yes?
Prospect Heights does not/cannot command the same prices as Park Slope, just like Park Slope does not/cannot command the same prices as Brooklyn Heights. It’s a FACT. It’s the market.
Anyone who argues against this simple truth is a PH broker, owner, or a plain idiot.
6:03: I live in Bed-Stuy and Prospect Heights is not fringe. If you can’t handle that some areas of Brooklyn are not chock full of rich white people, then you are living in the wrong city. Go back to Nebraska – the “fringe” state.
6:01–those two blocks are very long and most likely equivalent to 5-6 regular city blocks. Also, the distance is irrelevant. “Location, location, location” is the major factor in the pricing of real estate, and this corner in Prospect Heights is not worth the same as a house on 3rd Street, or as one on Orange Street. It might offend you, but it’s true.
Anyone who thinks that a neighborhood with two drive by shootings in the course of one day is not a fringe area is smokin crack.
where do YOU live…beirut?
5:34, you do recognize that Underhill is exactly two blocks from the border of this magical Park Slope of which you speak, correct? We’re not talking about Faux PH here…4 blocks East of Washington, or something.
If $3m is ok in PS, why is mid-upper $2m so impossible to fathom in PH?
Anyone who uses the word “fringe” to describe Prospect Heights has never been to Prospect Heights.
Where do all of you losers live?
I actually think that for the quality of life one gets in places like Park Slope, 3 million isn’t totally obscene. Especially since homes there have cost over a million dollars for nearly 2 decades. These newer fringe areas, on the other hand have gone from 500K ro 2.75 million in 7 years.
THAT is what’s not healthy for Brooklyn.
omg–penalties!
