483-Putnam-Avenue-0608.jpg
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. 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.

  1. I would love to buy this house but I am afraid that my entire family: mother, father, siblings, would never ever visit.
    I also would not need a whole house when my westchester-raised wife leaves me and takes the children back to live with her folks in Rye.

  2. Tinarina or Christine…comments about someone’s appearance, who I am sure that you don’t know, are so unnecessary for this blog. This is a blog about real estate not a place for you to insult other people for absolutely no reason.
    Its pathetic and quite frankly your profile says that you are over 40 years old, wow, you would think that you would know better..that is something I would expect a child to do.

    (no I am not Jerry, nor do I know him, or even live in Brooklyn..but I am so sick of people taking cheap shots at other people)

  3. Dave: Did the owners of the new brick oven pizza place buy the whole building, or are they just renting the store?

    And don’t tease us with the new market/cafe info. What gives?! Cough it up, Dave!

    BedStuyhoya: The t’What actually grew up in Clinton Hill. He doesn’t even know the zip codes that cover our neighborhood. Total loser. Read him only if you need a laugh or want to waste some time.

  4. I can really see this neighborhood being hot over the next 5-8 years. As downtown Brooklyn become a construction nightmare Bedford Stuyvesant is far enough away from that it will not to have the headaches of all that chaos. I can see Bedford Ave becoming a condo road but nothing like Downtown Brooklyn.

  5. Smoke Joint at Bassam will be called “Peaches”…it should be soon..next 2 weeks probably. The pizza place will be two blocks further up on the corner of Lewis & Halsey…the old Jamaican restaurant in the 2 story clapboad building on the NW corner

    I resent the long winded comment though. I may post way too often for some of our viewers but never long winded. Had a few friends that went on to Georgetown medical…they were all long winded. Take care.

    PS there is also a specialty food/gourmet market/cafe in the works for the neighborhood too

  6. I thought that as part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, Fannie Mae’s limit on conforming loans has been temporarily raised from $417,000 to $729,750 on single family homes and even higher on two family properties.
