House of the Day: 266 Stuyvesant Avenue
Most recently used as a school, the four-story brownstone at 266 Stuyvesant Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant still retains much of its original (and quite impressive) woodwork. It’s definitely going to need some work (how much, we don’t know) but it’ll certainly be an interesting barometer of the Bed Stuy market. Priced at $699,000, it’s in…
Most recently used as a school, the four-story brownstone at 266 Stuyvesant Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant still retains much of its original (and quite impressive) woodwork. It’s definitely going to need some work (how much, we don’t know) but it’ll certainly be an interesting barometer of the Bed Stuy market. Priced at $699,000, it’s in the first-time family homebuyer range for sure. In this market, though, we’ve got no idea whether this is a $699,000 house or a $599,000 house. Let’s think about the math: If you bought it at the asking price and put another $100,000 into it while racking up a $600,000 mortgage, your monthly costs, with taxes, would probably be somewhere in the mid-$4,000s. If you could rent a duplex out for, what, $2,000, then it could cost you less than $2,000 a month after tax to own this place. Not crazy.

@@@%%)@@()%%&&)%@@@&# Bunch of PIGSHIT Racist. Yes, Economic Oppression/Depression of a group based on Race!!!!!!
5:42 Guest, Thank you…. Summed it up quite short and sweet. If many of these BOONGERS spent as much time researching the facts and working postively to eradicate the BS, They would be worthy. Life is about positive and purposeful growth of a nation, the world and all it’s inhabitants!!!! And, if all the negative conotations slanted towards the African-Americans who have held the community down for quite sometime were true, they would be no housing stock for “Brownstoner” and the likes of many of it’s audience/ “new residents” to chat about. As well as the fact that you would not even be able to reside at present. RESPECT YOURSELVES, SO THAT YOU MAY RESPECT OTHERS AND IN TURN BE RESPECTED. However, Of course Many of you must be “Master” of all things….. The intellects of the Universe…. Whereby, many of you believe the fallacies that has been alluded to you and your families history/existence…. DO THE REAL RESEARCH!!!!!!!

7:01…I don’t know if that block is even “calandered” yet. The historic district stops at McDonough right now….it’ll take quite a long time.
5:12…It’s about a 6-7 min walk to the Utica A train stop…if you’re a fast walker.
$100,000 to renovate?? Highly unlikely!!!
Many of the crimes committed by the wealthy in many instances is what oppresses and promotes the crimes committed by the less wealthy… Robbing and enacting llicit activities with the educational system funds, corrupt government administration (Building/ housing services, healthcare, criminal justice, politicians, etc). Cultural deprivations and actions of those enslaved, colonized, & victimized. Wallstreet financial corrupt shenanigans, etc. Grow-up…..
You guys make real people sick!!!!! (Yes, those of us intuned to our heart, the earth and a higher power)
That is you continue to spew hateful/bias rhetoric that provides no positive joy or growth in the world!!!! me, me, me, me, me…. Their are millions of species on this earth, so obviously it was not meant for any particular one to exist alone without our interdependence in some way or another. Your homes, your skin, your hair, your looks, your money, “family linages” will ultimately not save you in the end. And, in any event that you felt threatened/in true need I don’t believe many of you would stop to question much if your “benefactor” differed that much from you.
I like to tune into this site and read, and possibly even learn new things – however, you can always trust that their is that group (it appears a large segment that just upsets your whole inner being with utter disgust).
A True and Original Brooklynite – Bedford Stuyvesant.
PS. Another note, for those in the Know, Referencing Bedford STuyvesant as BED Stuy was always considered ignorant and STreet, not very astute. Further Disgust when I hear the term mention by the so-called “elitest”.

I hear they are going to extend the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District to include these block.
This is a really interesting listing. Clearly, even in a down market, it seems to be below comps. It’s a decent part of Bed-Stuy, despite what those say who like to paint the whole neighborhood with a broad brush.
BUT, I’ve found that if the listing says “needs work/reno,” then it’s not really inhabitable.
You could easily dump 3-400k into a gut reno. Or you’d be stripping paint from that woodwork for the next 50 years. Either way, I couldn’t justify bidding on this house. Price is right for the space, but not this space, if you know what I mean.
