House of the Day: 743 Eastern Parkway
Describing this house at 743 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights as being “near the Brooklyn Museum” is a bit of a stretch but it’s still kinda interesting, we think.

Describing this house at 743 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights as being “near the Brooklyn Museum” is a bit of a stretch but it’s still kinda interesting, we think. There are two parking spots in the front driveway and a legal professional office on the ground floor for income generation. The two upper floors are currently configured as two separate apartments but there’s no reason they couldn’t be connected to make an owner’s duplex. There’s a surprising amount of original detail left in the house as well. Asking price: $650,000. Good buy?

I actually think that yellow is almost working. Almost.
If the price comes down enough, I’d expect an enterprising Lubavitcher to make a one-family of it for the proximity to 770.
Well Dave, i believe i have many good years ahead of me before i see a recovery in this market. in the mean time, i’d rather use my $150K downpayment to specultate in a market that offer a better return than the plummeting real estate market.
If i’m listening to you, i know i’m just lightning my 150k money in fire… Your bullish arguments don’t work on me, try with someone else…
>”but the BBG and Bklyn museum friggin rock!”
Ditto.
Even if I am on Team Bear, this is not a lot of money for a big house in a not unlivable location.
Agree with G10 – BBG and Museum are great, and might as well throw in the Library for good measure.
They will again someday, stringer. Its that kind of attitude that makes contrarians rich.
Rob!
Get.it.together.
yes the place looks like the easter bunny lived in it
but the BBG and Bklyn museum friggin rock!
Yeah, Dave! And in 2004, Banks were giving away money, you could flip your properties over to Wall street buyers, and unemployement was a European thing…Be happy if you cashed out but stop dreaming pal, people don’t speculate over real estate like they do with gold or the stock market anymore…

It’s closer to the Children’s Museum, but walkable to the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Gardens.
