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.

4:33 is correct
All you other readers…this looks to be a real nice house on a pretty decent block in Bed Stuy. It is worth close to what the asking price is. They are asking $315 psf. The renovation looks very good. I would assume a new roof, new plumbing and new electrical. Most places of this size and this price have all of that done. Not sure why there weren’t any bath pics though.
Although we’ve been going back and forth on the time to walk to the train, its about 12-15 minutes to either the Nostrand A or the Utica A….you do not walk by any projects from Putnam Ave to these two stops.
The Foodtown is great.
You cannot get a nice brownstone with a lot of the work completed for $315 psf anywhere else and I would encourage you all to look at it and consider the neighborhood..snarky comments and back-and-forth battles aside!!
great house good location in this area. I would not look north of Madison if I was moving to this area has a different vibe in that part of the area
OH NO Dave really lives in Ft. Greene
4:20…please stop posting until you comprehend what I was talking about. I merely pointed out that the house was closer to a great Mexican restaurant that is on Broadway near the intersection of Throop than where I am at Stuyvesant near Macon.
I hope you know how to read your lease or your mortgage documents better than you can follow this thread.
Stop it already. Your head must hurt from all the reading by now.
The what keeping it real…
Dave, Stuyvesant ave is closer to Broadway than throop. You do not know bedstuy.
The next ave from you is Malcom X. And if you happen to come out the wrong exit on the A train you will be right in the middle of the PJs or outside of Kennedy fried chicken. Stop it already.
BBQing! Renters! OMG, stop the insanity! As someone whom hasn’t quite moved on from the late 80’s grime of NYC, I love the fact that I see people hanging out on their stoops. And kids playing on the sidewalk. It brings something to the neighborhood. That something is energy, life and uniqueness.
PS: Yeah, you are an elitist.
What…do you even know how to go about getting a mortgage?? First you have to have a decent credit score.
Anybody with a decent credit score and a downpayment of 10% or more will easily get this house. That’s what mortgages have traditionally been based upon. And thats where they are back to now.
