House of the Day: 280 Lefferts Avenue
We can’t say for sure how much the market has risen in this part of Prospect Lefferts Gardens in the last three years, but we doubt the answer is as high as 70 percent. That’s that the owners of 280 Lefferts Avenue—which traded for $430,000 in 2005—are shooting for with their asking price of $724,000….

The three-story, two-family house itself has some nice bones, though the kitchen, bathroom, back yard and front door aren’t going to win any bonus points. What can the PLG’ers out there tell us about this block?

These houses are all the same. Two floor through apartments and an english basement.
I’m not the realtor, but I am a neighbor.
janko…how come you’re now posting full sentences??
Wait a minute…it’s near Prospect Park and all the airplane noise.
Forget it!
Ok, I thought I was interested in this house. But I re-read the listing. Owner’s 2-bedroom duplex, and an in-law apt. in english basement.
So, the upper two floors are one unit and the basement is another unit. Looking at the pictures of the facade, those basement windows don’t look like they’re more that 50% above grade. Am I wrong?
The house is 20×50 – why only two bedrooms on one floor???
I left the realtor a message. Cause if I’m wrong and it’s two floor thru apts or can easily be converted, the price is right for me.
Not so sure about the neighborhood, not familar with this area.
My shed is wood and I love it. Great place for keeping garden supplies and I store 3 cords of wood there in the winter.
I went with a friend to look at a rental on this block a few months ago. Not a terrible hood, but nostrand ave around that area is a little bit sketchy. Im sure there is potential here, especially being somewhat close to the park and the sterling stop – but not at an asking price of 724k. 550-600 sounds a little more reasonable to me.
How did you guess?
Actually my in-law apartment IS the aluminum shed. I keep my lawnmower in the basement. I mean, I don’t want the blades to rust do I?
Hey, At least they didn’t call the weeds in the backyard “greenscaping” (Corcoran says what?)
But Seriously…Your house is one of your biggest assets, don’t owners look at RE websights to see who does a good job with their listings before they decide who to list with. I’m not saying you have to use a Corcoran to sell your house but shouldn’t your agent at least present your home in a way that will make buyers want to come and look?
