House of the Day: 307 Winthrop Street

This modest but architecturally attractive limestone at 307 Winthrop Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens got our attention with its $550,000 asking price. While the facade looks nice, we’re a little worried about what the interior must look like, given that it’s currently chopped up into three units with a total of nine (!) bedrooms. The block is also not the neighborhood’s finest. Then again, the listing says that the owners “will listen to all offers” so perhaps there’s a deal to be had.

I wonder if the RE tax is really $727/month? $8224 p.a. is about twice what I’m paying in Lefferts manor for a larger more valuable house. Perhaps because it’s three family?
Manitoba, are you the real Handsome Dick Manitoba? (not that I’d have any way of knowing.) I just sold my old record collection today which included the Dictators’ first three albums.)
i’m surprised the What is on this one. here’s another over priced house that needs a ton of work to be nice probably in a questionable neighborhood.
yuck.
go buy a new apartment is a decent neighborhood for the same money.
using google streetview, the place to the left in the photo is a junky looking bodega, with the subway entrance right in front, and on a busy street. guess the steel door is to keep out the noise and drunk people.
but for lower price and decent interior, this could be a liveable home.

You’re right, and my comments were a little mean-spirited. I think my frustration tends to come from brokers who think they can get away with posting obtuse information and partially-obstructed photos (or no photos) and still get people to show up and pay more than a house is really worth. I’m sure the people who live here are perfectly nice as will be the people who eventually settle in here; any derision on my part that went their way was unintentional and unnecessary…
Ya’ll asked for more affordable HOTDs….
I would prefer that too but the place I live is falling apart.
with that being said who will pay 550k for this if its a dump inside?
Jeez, you are all talking about peoples’ homes. I’m sure they’d all prefer living in one of those multimillion coops on Prospect Park West, but this is what they can afford.
If I had the downpayment i would buy this and then get abunch of my friends to live there and pay rent. Gut the bottom floor and have punk shows. Other than that this place is a peice of shit.
