House of the Day: 365 Parkside Avenue
Shortly after 365 Parkside Avenue (one of several Doctor’s Rows in the area) was an Open House Pick in 2006, it sold for the asking price of $879,000. The buyers in that transaction have now put the impressive 1901 brick house on the market for $1,150,000. We’re particularly liking the original wood floors and coffered…

maple street school on lincoln road is great but it’s only for kids 2 to 5 years old. i’ve heard the other schools in the neighborhood are not great.
any decent schools in prospect/lefferts?
thedudeabides that is exactly our point. It cannot be worth GREATER than $900K taking closing costs and minimal sprucing up costs into account. That is anything under $900K is fair game today…triste mais vrais!
“Now if it was bought for $870K in 2006 we don’t see how it is worth more than $900k in this recession…”
Wasn’t 2006 pretty close to peak when everyone thought things were going to be great forever? Aren’t we now in the worst recession in at least 50 years? thus, shouldn’t it be worth less than $870K?
As Bob said, these doors are original as other homes on that block have the same ones. It is a very nice block – tree-lined with some houses set back a bit more than the usual brownstones. Being close to Flatbush does have some advantages – quick trip to the subway and busy enough to be safe coming home at 3:00 in the a.m.
Bob- That’s a relief, thanks for updating us on the door situation. I was really hoping that was the case and that it just wasn’t reading properly in the photo.
I agree with Geek & Brenda with respect that I’d rather do the kitchen myself than live with someone the choice someone else made but, that’s usually the case for a fixer-up not a 1MM+ home. If I were the seller, and wanted to make my asking price, I’d have at least did a spruce up (matching generic appliances at least) of the kitchen so that the buyer couldn’t say they’d have to replace everything.
I just got back from looking at the front of this house.The door IS the original iron and glass, identical to other houises in thev row.
BTW Pierre, it’s closer to Bedford than Flatbush. The Flatbush Avenue sound volume doesn’t penetrate that far.
The proximity to Flatbush is the major downer here otherwise pretty nice house even with that kitchen. The parking situation can be fixed inexpensively…just don’t park there and add some potted plants:)
Now if it was bought for $870K in 2006 we don’t see how it is worth more than $900k in this recession…
Agree with geekspice on the area…and the front parking atrocity. (Although the naturalist/esthetician Ms. Barbara Corcoran disagrees, contending that a cement pad in front of your town house with an SUV smacked down on it does wonders for your property value; or sadly, perhaps the creature is right…)
