House of the Day: 712 Degraw Street
At first glance, $1,395,000 for a house on Degraw Street sounded cheap to us. Now we’re not so sure. It turns out that the building is only three-stories tall and 16.5-feet wide. If the two-family house is truly in “great shape” and has “lots of original detail,” as the listing says, it could still be…

If the two-family house is truly in “great shape” and has “lots of original detail,” as the listing says, it could still be well worth it There’s no mention of any significant renovation or upgrades since the property last changed hands in 2003 for $667,000 but a doubling in price in the last five years doesn’t sound crazy. Guess it all comes down to what those interiors look like.

Well I checked out the place and was underwhelmed. Odd positioning of rooms and bathrooms (bathroom has a window opening to the kitchen! Hi Honey pass me a sandwich will ya, I’m on the can)
The hallway leading to the 3rd floor rental is awkward and makes the 2nd floor of the duplex very narrow. Upstairs bathroom is the size of a closet. The kitchen is tiny as well.
All in all it’s not worth the current price. Maybe with a one family conversion it would work but as is it’s sliced up in a way that doesn’t flow. Needs a good amount of work on the 3rd floor..
ATTN: douchebag RE speculators, you had your 10-year run, time to find another bubble to inflate.
Bye bye!!
Good for you Mamacita. If you’ve got the money and are looking for a home, good on ya and God bless.
Well, whatever kids.
I’m checking it out this weekend. Already have my appointment.
Mamacita the homeowner, nice ring to it 😉
And, degraw is a nice block with some really nice neighbors that care for the area and each other. Lots of nice brownstones too.

I can say with relative certainty, that you will be not drinking a beer at Mooney’s on Flatbush in a year. Sad but true.
