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.

3:54…its about 9/10 blocks from the Foodtown…that is not “close” by what others from other parts of Brooklyn (and certainly anyone from Manhattan) would think. That’s what my original point was.
I like Foodtown at restoration it is pretty impressive
“ne day when you grow up to be a big troll you will learn to read comments and maybe you can stand up like man and admit it when you’re wrong.”
Dave has to admit he is a man first…. One thing at a time.
700K huh? Ok let’s look at the CURRENT Mortgage situation. The underwriter from any bank is going to kill this deal. Why you ask? Try getting a mortgage now and come back and tell us how fun it was.
400K FHA Good bye…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Like stated before this house is more convenient to amenities and the grocery store than anything on east of Lewis. Come on Dave admit you’re wrong!
Now you stand up and admit you were wrong 3:45
i wish daveinbedstuy would start his own blog since he has so much to say and thinks everyone wants to hear it. then he could stop hijacking every post that mentions bedstuy. i live in the neighborhood and i’m happy to discuss it with anyone who has something to say but this man is just SO BORING
3:45…I didn’t say it was close to Broadway you moron. Here’s what I wrote…
That said, this house is closer to Taco Poblano on Broadway about 2 blocks SE of Throop!!! The only redeeming logistical attribute that I’ve found so far.

Meaning it was CLOSER to Broadway than I am.
Reading comprehension 3:45, reading comprehension…work on it
Now who looks like the big troll who can’t read?
Dave, Earlier you said this house was close to Broadway. We all can see that you commented before checking your trusty map of Bedstuy. But now we must all drop it.
One day when you grow up to be a big troll you will learn to read comments and maybe you can stand up like man and admit it when you’re wrong.
The Foodtown is pretty much centrally located, east/west, for all of Bed Stuy…but the further you go North, the further it becomes…which was my original point.
For people not familiar with Bed Stuy and thinking about it, you will not find a better supermarket in most of Brooklu=yn and most of Manhattan that the Fulton Ave Foodtown. No, its no Union Market or Dean & Deluca but its far better that any Associated, Gristedes, D’Agostinos, Food Emporium (except the QueensBorough Bridge one on 1st Ave)
I was amazed at how good it was.
On another topic 3:26, I don’t take buses.
