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.

2:31 post responding here. I am not an elitist one bit. It wasn’t a block party. Thi was straight up folks in wife beaters queing in their front yard rather than the back. A strong sign that they have no garden access? Renters maybe? People on lawn chairs chilling in the front like there ain’t sheet else to do in the house with no AC. Listen I am these people and wouldn’t want to spend good money living next to such ghetto behavior. Compare that block with some of those in Lefferts Manor. No outdoor quing in the front yard and must have one fam to every residence. We all have our own idea of what BK/NY means to us. This is more grimey-old school do the right thing style. That was the late 80’s, I’ve moved on. I can’t see wifey walking down the block dealing with this element. No arguement here. Just a difference of opinion.
Dave-
you didn’t answer the grocery store question.
But I walk to Clinton Hill all the time! It takes me about 15-20min. Not all of us are lazy! And sometime I catch the bus to Williamsburg- which is too far to walk to
3:10…more convenient how so?? If my walk to the A train is 4 minutes (which is how this discussion began if you took the time to read back) it is not more convenient. If you are talking Clinton Hill geographically, then yes. But are you really going to walk? There’s nothing that close to walk to in “other parts of Brooklyn” including Clinton Hill. You need to take a car, and in that respect, its no closer to “other parts of Brooklyn.”
2:51 here again
Dave,
which grocery stores in Bed Stuy are better than the Foodtown on Fulton? I would really like to know! More convenient to other parts of brooklyn that happen to have more amenities than Bed Stuy.
2:51…it is 10x more convenient than what???
It is not more convenient than locations closer to the A stop and closer to the better grocery stores, the point I was making to 2:12
Drop it and let people figure it out for themselves. 2:12 can’t even read the map and he/she lives on Putnam!!!
This is a good block in Bedford Stuyvesant I am sure it will sell for a nice price not too much under 800K
I live on this street, so let me chime in here.
The house is located between Throop & Tomkins. It’s less than a 10min walk to Foodtown on Fulton- the best grocery store in Bed Stuy or most of Brooklyn for that matter.
It’s approx. a 7min walk to the C train, trust me I timed it. It’s about a 12min walk to the Nordstand station. This a solid block with a lot of changes going on. I think the house is overpriced considering the size.
Dave in Bed Stuy- Lewis may be a ‘nicer’ block to walk on- but this location is 10x more convenient!
the block parties are great…
Block party maybe?
