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…

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

propjoe is a neanderthal, so he would live in an earthen mound/dugout in the backyard.
beautiful place. so many great townhouses in this vicinity – bummer that the pricing was so inflated here when i was looking a few years ago, but nice to see that it’s getting more reasonable now.
agree with comments that this shouldn’t get 7 figs. but can’t say with surety that it won’t. personally i wouldn’t pay more than 899 in this market. 2+english basement is on the small side in the historic district.
And the listings says the home is 20×45=2700 . . . but i’m new here, maybe I’m to round up? or perhaps there’s an unmentioned 300 sq.ft. roof-deck.
I need to go explore this area this spring/summer.
I’ve not really been around here all that often, but I’m curious.
Apparently not so easy PropJoe. Besides, architecturally how do you put two staircases in so that they each can share the middle floor. Makes no sense whatsoever to try and divide it equally in to two units. Spiral stairs….no, sorry.
Very easily, buechler.
50% of the pics are of the same room, and no floorplan. You have to do much better than that to get someone w/$1MM in their pocket to hoof it in the cold all the way to Lefferts.
“2 couples could buy this for $999,999 and then turn it into 2 1500 sq ft condos. Seems like a deal”
The area forbids just this. Lefferts Manor does not allow for any kind of conversions. All of its historic houses are one family homes.
How would two couples turn three stories into two equal-sized condos?
