House of the Day: 64 Lefferts Place
This four-story, three-family limestone at 64 Lefferts Place on the southern edge of Clinton Hill has some beautiful original detail (we’re particularly taken with the plaster moldings shown in the bedroom and, in this slideshow, in the stairwell). We’re less enthusiastic about how the new(ish) kitchens look, but each to his own. The asking price…
This four-story, three-family limestone at 64 Lefferts Place on the southern edge of Clinton Hill has some beautiful original detail (we’re particularly taken with the plaster moldings shown in the bedroom and, in this slideshow, in the stairwell). We’re less enthusiastic about how the new(ish) kitchens look, but each to his own. The asking price for the 4,200-square-foot house is a “negotiable” $1,750,000. (Taxes are less than $2,000 a year!) How much negotiation do you think the seller will actually have to do to get this deal done?

And thank you Heather for realizing that. this isn’t the first time the troll has done that to me.
It’s nice to know that even if I go away for two weeks, resident d-bag, Biff, is still here.
I don’t know how anyone with a legal income would be able to finance this house at this time. I fully understand that many people in Brooklyn make tons of illegal cash and that this fact accounts for the ridiculous prices paid for dumpy houses in unsavory neighborhoods, but I don’t know of anyone with a legal income, who pays taxes and does not deal in stolen property or narcotics, who would have the kind of money to pay for a house like this on a street like this. Because a bank is not going to give you a jumbo on this. Most honest people want to nvest their hard-earned money in solid investments and in respectable neighborhoods.
i agree…i much prefer the fake bxgrl.
she funny.
oh wait. they’re both fake.
They dress like suburban oldsters. They’re boring, overrated, and all their songs sound the same. Dan Deacon may be a fat fuck, but he gets people MOVING. Coldplay may be bland megastars but they’ve got more catchy tunes than the FeelThese will ever come up with. Let ’em enjoy playing Maxwells for the rest of their lives–as much of it may be left. What are they–70 now? And by the way, David Sedaris has lovely eyes

The US economy is likely at the beginning of a major recession.
Housing prices will plumet in the next couple years.
The rent to buy ratio is completely out of whack. As an investment, this houses wouldn’t got for more that $700,000.
But I know, I know, it’s not JUST an investment. . . ok add on another $25,000 for “pride of ownership.”
I’m a real estate investor myself. I don’t want my properties to go down in value, but I expect they will.
My guess is a decline of at least 50% in the next year or two. Ask any old time real estate investor you meet, and he’ll tell you the same thing.
Take care dudes!

1.7 to live near the What? hmmmm.
I wish the real bxgrl would go away. The fake one(s) are more interesting.
It’s not her. See the space after the name?
