House of the Day: 87 Woodhull Street
While the exterior and backyard of 87 Woodhull Street aren’t particularly inspiring, the interiors still have pockets of charm. (Not sure what’s up with that ceiling though?) Given the fact that the house hasn’t changed hands in forty years and the glaring absence of any bathroom or kitchen photos, we’re guessing this place is going…
While the exterior and backyard of 87 Woodhull Street aren’t particularly inspiring, the interiors still have pockets of charm. (Not sure what’s up with that ceiling though?) Given the fact that the house hasn’t changed hands in forty years and the glaring absence of any bathroom or kitchen photos, we’re guessing this place is going to need a serious makeover. If this four-family house were on one of the better blocks in Carroll Gardens, they might have a shot at the $1,800,000 asking price, but Woodhull ain’t Sackett Street, so it seems like quite a reach to us.

During the peak of the real estate market, a few years back, a house in the same street, completely gutted and renovated into a triplex and rental apartment, couldn’t fetch this price. I can’t believe there are still buyers who’d buy this for anything close to the asking price.
Biff…I’ve seriously considered getting the green snuggie since I can’t seem to find those pajamas with the feet for adults! Ha 🙂
Thanks InsertSnappyNameHere. But why would one need that when they can now get a full-boddied Snuggy? The commercial for this one cracks me up…but I dare say it does look cozy!

A two-color paint job, some landscaping, new glass doors and brass lanterns would spiff the place right up.
New windows and awnings would actually make it attractive.
As a rental property, the location is A-OK. The asking price however is out of whack.
Biff…not a roll of tp. It’s one of those remote control cozys that used to be sold on infomercials in the 80’s!
BB- One of my neighbors has something similar in their home (it’s the original plaster) and without going in for the close up it really just looks like glorified drop ceiling tiles. They don’t really care for it but since it’s original they’re on the fence about doing anything to change it.
It is also between Henry and Hicks near the BQE – not optimal. A few houses on this block sold during the last year for less than $1.4M.
Yeah, but what is up with that ceiling? It looks kinda cool in the photo.
Well no kidding MrB this will indeed need a serious makeover. Look @ that ugly and naked facade. Yep simply an investment rental property that is seriously not worth more than $950K.
BTW anyone know where to purchase Cornices and lintels? There appears to be a huge need for such a service in Brooklyn.
