House of the Day: 37 Wolcott Street
This four-story house at 37 Wolcott Street has some old-school charm on the outside but, man, is it hurting on the inside.

This four-story house at 37 Wolcott Street has some old-school charm on the outside but, man, is it hurting on the inside. Currently configured as a lower owner’s duplex topped by two floor-through rentals, the house’s interiors are a mix of vinyl floors, dropped ceilings and baseboard heating, not exactly value enhancers in this or any market. The house is also located across the street from the Red Hook Houses and these two beauties next door at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street. On the more positive side, there aren’t that many brick and brownstone houses in the area that have their original facades intact. Given the rough shape it’s in and the less-than-stellar location, the asking price of $969,000 seems unrealistic right now. What do you think?

Even discussing this price at all is giving it more credibility than it deserves. It is an interesting facade and that’s about it. Probably the lot would be worth more without the building.
I’m glad to see Red Hook is getting some love on Brownstoner but I not sure about the price. It would be nice if the US govt would force the US auto industry to pay us back by putting the trolley system or today light rail back in these areas that need public better public transportation. The US auto industry got rid of the trolley system in the 1950s they should help put them back with light rail today. I am sure Red Hook had a trolley cars pre- WWII. I know Bedford Stuyvesant and Crown Heights had trolleys and when they uprooted the trolleys it was the start of the down turn of Bedford Stuyvesant and Crown Heights.
Wow, shameless. I guess it costs a lot for all those hallucinogenics they must be chugging back.
The only good thing about this house is it made me pull up the song Vivrant Thing. I hadn’t listened to in a good long while. Killer.

650, I can’t justify more than that
BRG – I would bet you money that if you spoke to the broker “off the record” as it were, they would say the seller insisted on this high price.
“no broker is this clueless at this point.”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…when do I stop laughing?
This looks like a classic tenement building to me, not a house. This was never a house. It was probably always a four unit apartment building, don’t you think?
The nicest thing about the interior is the two sofas.
This listing is hysterical:
“This is the tallest building on the block”
Yahoo…you can live in the skyscraper of the nabe.
“Live and own for the price of rent in a vive rant neighborhood”
According to the defination that ‘goldie’ provided I’ll agree that the nabe is full of ‘animation’.
“coveted Fairway Supermarket” and “Ikea store.”
Though shall not covet they neighbors super stores!
“Should not last at this price.”
But will!
I love the “Viverant” text
oy
they are asking way too much on this
sorry but that’s way overpriced for that building
