House of the Day: 483 Putnam Avenue
This three-story brownstone at 483 Putnam Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer. The parlor floor of the owner’s duplex is stunning, and it looks like the rest of the house has its share of original details as well. If this were four stories, we’d say that the asking price of $809,000 looked pretty good….

If this were four stories, we’d say that the asking price of $809,000 looked pretty good. At three stories and only about 2,500-square-feet, it’s not as compelling as Thursday’s House of the Day. But given that this place changed hands for $700,000 two years ago, it’s not crazy either. We’ll be surprised if they get their price though in this market.

11233…are you Chicco?
Yes, the pizza restaurant will be in the Vinette’s space…don’t know if that includes the “garages” as well. Don’t know what is going on in the building on the SW corner where the bodega is. Same guy owns both buildings.
The What…you are no one’s father…and if you are then I know that they would probably deny it.
Dave: OK, I need to test you ….
So teh pizza place will take over the parking garages on teh Lewis side of the building too, or will it only occupy the space Vinette’s had?
Teh bodega across teh street is the one being rehabbed, right? What is the status of that buidling?
Thanks, Dave.

“I just recently got a jumbo loan with 10% down with a 5.5% interest rate. You have no clue what you are talking about. None!”
RIIIGGGHHHHHHTTTT! That was a FHA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. There are no 90% LTV, maybe 90% CLTV and if that’s so, your rate got bumped up. Nice try Asshat! Maybe you and Dave can massage each other prostates with broom handles…
“Any monkey can cut and paste. It is the ability to analyze information and make intelligent assessments that separates us from the beasts. Clearly you have not made that leap as yet.”
I’m sorry did say something in this paragraph?
“Glad The What is here though so that all these people don’t think I’m am only ass posting here!!!
Thanks Dave….
You Asshats crack me up.. Keep praying fools…

Someday this war is gonna end…
The city has to step up to the plate and do something for Bed-Stuy already. I go to South Beach in Staten Island and I see the city has built a giant pier on the water there as well as a waterside catering hall/restaurant, I go to Sheepshead Bay and I see the beautiful marina and economic development still going on with restaurants and new streets. I go to coney island and I hear about a multibillion dollar plan to turn it into the new DisneyLand/Las Vegas of the East.
Then I go to Bed-Stuy and I’m wondering where the city is as far as developing park land. How about planting some more trees, how about knocking down some of those old warehouses and making a skate park, how about tax incentives to put in some sort of large project like a sports center, a museum or a college center? For such a large neighborhood in the center of Brooklyn, you would think that the politicians could get it together long enough to make a positive impact. How about a hip hop museum, or a recording center, or an urban campus for some ivy league school like Cornell.
No imagination whatsoever, they wait and wait for market forces to change the neighborhood instead of taking some sort of initiative. How about a brownstone museum or even a large, permanent art work like the Socrates sculpture park in LIC. How about the city subsidizing a major architect like Mier or Calatrava or Ando in the renovation of a few brownstones for the middle class. How much could it possibly cost to have one of these firms draw up the plans to re-interpret a typical brownstone row?
It took me about ten minutes to come up with all this. How much are they paying our city “urban planners” with their degrees to sit around and navel gaze while improving neighborhoods that are already just fine, and allowing the neighborhoods in need to tread water waiting for a market solution.
Oh god, you said it, it’s totally new money.
so declasse.
can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Bed Stuy was a slum Yesterday, but today, it’s FABULOUS. People with new money are just so, I don’t know, reality-based. it is sickening.
I live on MacDonough Street and I have white neighbors on both sides on me that grew up in very rich houses and that have family over all the time. One couple from Hartsdale in Westchester Co. had her sisters wedding in the parlor of the Bedford Stuyvesant Brownstone rather than the lovely suburban house… but those rich open minded white people are not stuck in some paranoid box like you family 7:22… Must be new money.
7:18…the gourmet food store is in the works…hopefully sept or oct. I’m told it will be somewhat of a cross between Provisions on Fulton in FG and Chop Chop on Smith. The people are still looking for one or two investors but are moving forward on a space.
The pizza guys are renting the space at the corner of Halsey & Stuyvesant but there still is no sign of any work being done. The guy that owns the building also owns the corner building across the street with the bodega.
well 7:22 if you have narrow minded family maybe this is not the place for you… You family is going make you miss a great purchase you go live with them in the burbs..
