This house at 152 Underhill Avenue isn’t officially on the market yet, according to the listing, but it’s still frustrating not to have any interior photos. The three-story house looks quite charming from the outside, but whether it’s charming enough to justify the $1,800,000 price tag remains to be seen. It seems like a stretch to us given the absence of a fourth floor and only a standard (100-foot-deep) lot size. (Many of the lots in this neighborhood are 125-feet-deep, resulting in some mega backyards.) Thoughts?

Did this house once belong to Leo Frank’s parents? Did Leo Frank ever live in it?
$1.8 million… so at least $3500 a month per unit to even break even each moth. Hope it doesn’t need any improvements or ANYTHING. $3500!! And really, the owner would probably want more like $5000 per unit.
Lunacy i say!
Why is it listed before it goes on the market? Isn’t that a little weird?
actually Mr. B, most of the houses on the adjacent blocks of Park Pl and Prospect Pl are on 131-ft lots. Really huge yards. Comps for slightly smaller 3-story brownstones with those bigger lots around the corner run around 1.7m. This is right across the street from one of the nicest playgrounds in Brooklyn. A gut reno (and I mean gut) on Prospect recently went for 990k, so no way does this go that low. If this place is in decent shape with mechanicals, and has any original details, I doubt it goes for less than 1.5, even in this market. This is also in the proposed expanded historic district.
How can the brokers say this place has all its original charm and details when it’s a single-family that was turned into a 3-family with a kitchen and bathroom added to each floor? It’s an apartment building, not a house. We have a house exactly this size and there’s no room for a full bathroom on the parlor floor without putting up walls in weird places. This is at least $2.5 million house after renovations to fix the weirdness. I like Prospect Heights but it’s not worth that. These brokers are clueless.
900k
Those prices just scare me. How they come up with those figures? Madness its just plain madness…..
