House of the Day: 132 Rutland Road
This three-story brownstone at 132 Rutland Road is a charmer. In the same family for decades, the 3,000-square-foot house is chock full of original details, as befits a house in Lefferts Manor. There’s mention of a large eat-in kitchen but no photos, so we won’t give it the benefit of the doubt. The asking price…

The asking price of $1,100,000 may be too high above the psychological barrier of a million bucks. What do you think?

Oh wow, honey, can you buy me this house? At least this screen? It’s love at first sight for me.
Amzi Hill –
Oh, I’d love to grab up a deal in that area if it came along. The problem is that MrsCWB is about to be jobless (hopefully not for very long) AND we don’t even have a 10% down payment for stuff in the $500-$600k range, so we’re just not ready to buy yet.
End of this year, probably, but not yet. Here’s hoping the rates stay low. 🙂
This is nice, and as others have said, probably would have sold for about this price a year ago. But this seems like way too much to ask now, doesn’t it?
Not ones that refuse to put your deposit in escrow! I’ve dealt with a lot of regular crazy realtors, but she was by far the worst, both incompetent and vindictive. And…wow. I’ve completely blocked out her name. Sweet.
I had to deal with a real psycho RE lady for the buyer when I sold my Manhattan condo. She drove my RE agent crazy. Not just psycho but a real mean b&^*ch
ahhh psycho NYC Realtors are the best…
DIBS,
It was 315 Decatur. Really ornate parlor, center stair (w.cool light fixtures built into the newel post), every detail intact. Leather wallpaper, wedding cake moldings, the whole bit. Almost too ornate, but unbelievable. The only downside was the backyard looked out on a parking lot and the realtor was a psycho lady from hell.
Yes it is Sam. There was a thread yesterday about removing an added screen from an older Clinton Hill house. That could be perfectly appropriate, but in THIS house it’s an integral part of the original design. The range of styles in brownstones in various neighborhoods, built over a period of nearly 100 years, can be breathtaking.
That screen is a work of art.
