House of the Day: 29 Maple Street
29 Maple Street isn’t as charming on the outside as a lot of other houses in Prospect Lefferts Gardens but the interior has a lot of charm. The private driveway is a serious bonus, as is the third exposure it creates on the side of the house which results in tons of sunlight. The house…
29 Maple Street isn’t as charming on the outside as a lot of other houses in Prospect Lefferts Gardens but the interior has a lot of charm. The private driveway is a serious bonus, as is the third exposure it creates on the side of the house which results in tons of sunlight. The house traded for $595,000 in 2004. Now it’s asking $899,000. Let’s go to the pricing widget…
29 Maple Street [Brown Harris Stevens] GMAP P*Shark
This is right in the middle of one of the best-preserved historic districts in the city, two blocks from the express train and Prospect Park. Hardly fringe.
There’s a nearly identical one down the street for sale at 29 Maple: http://www.bhsbrooklyn.com/detail.asp?id=1005481

sincerely speaking here – my husband and I drive through this part of the woods once a week to get to the West Indian foods/restaurants on Flatbush ave
My Husband(black,lived in BK all his life) tells me he would never move us over here despite me telling him all about the cute houses I see in the Times and how all the folks on Brownstoner fondly talk about Prospect Lefferts etc etc. He says that nabe has always been an area of high crime especially drug movement…
So that being said, how safe could it really be to raise a family in the mix of all of that. It’s great to want to be the pioneer, but not at the expense of your safety…
cutest house ever!
pure guess since I dont know area that well – 770k.
very nice house though. love that garage & drive way.
If it went for $595k in 2004, and we assume a non-insane 4% rate of appreciation over five years, you come out at about $730k I believe.
$595k was probably overpriced to begin with given that by 2004 Brooklyn was well into its insanity period, but until the market bottoms we can’t be sure whether we’ll drop below 2004 prices or not.
It’s a very cute house, though. I’m curious how much the present owners spent on reno.
gemini–fringe probably not the best word for this area. Pretty nice around there actually. I have friends on Rutland which is just a block over. Very nice family vibe.
I’m with Gemini.
People have been saying we’re already back to 2004/5 prices in some cases, so why would this trade for 300K more than it did then?
Very cute house though on the inside. Not crazy about the outside.
have no idea about prices in this area so I won’t guess, but what a nice house. and “shows well” as the brokers say.
REALLY cute house – love the garden
I will keep my comments about the kitchen to myself 😉
however – isnt this nabe not soo great/safe?
unfor b/c it’s a fringe nabe I can’t see them getting even 800K for it – although it’s done really well and has the driveay
I say 725K tops-sorry
