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. 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?

“On the contrary, I’d think that Lubavitch Worldwide or affiliated organizations or individuals might be very interested in this property for educational/religious/hostel type use, or as a residence.”
If they are interested, I’m sure they’ll make an offer. They already own a huge number of residential, commercial and cultural properties in the area, including some of the finest brownstones, Victorian townhouses and brick homes in all of Crown Heights. For the most part they are down-to-earth, laid-back neighbors.

Oh, but you are, Blanche, you are. Incessantly.”
Snark, did you just use “butthole” and “Blanche” in the same sentence? You are a cunning linguist.
As I commented in the Open Thread, sometimes I wonder if Rob just throws out bizarre comments for a reaction. Is it really possible for someone to think that the BBG, Brooklyn Museum and new Children’s Museum “suck”?
infinitejester – In all of the years that I’ve been going to the Met, there are still some corners I haven’t seen. When visiting a museum, I hit a saturation point after 2, maybe 3 hours. After that I really can’t take any more in. And the Met has changing exhibition in addition to the permanent collection, so there is always something interesting to see, no matter how often I go.
children museum is great. cant comment on other museum – havent gone in for eons already.
Here comes my usual line again – this ppty & location is not bad; just the price. At 500k, it would get my attention.
I’ve said this now three times in the past three days, kind of weird: I may sound like a Neandarthal but I think you only need to go to a museum like once a year at most. what really changes in six months? In fact, you only need to go once and then ever after only if there’s a big show on someone you like.
Who put in the 900k estimate on sale price??
Nomi…you never came to your party in the OT.
Who suggested that proximity to 770 Eastern Parkway is a problem? On the contrary, I’d think that Lubavitch Worldwide or affiliated organizations or individuals might be very interested in this property for educational/religious/hostel type use, or as a residence.
>”bonnard was a pervert who molested his wife when she was disabled. (seriously). he’s the one who did all the bathtub pics of her right?”
Where are you getting that from? Are you sure you have the right person since you’re not even sure who he is?
Regardless: His paintings changed my life. Not ALL people who go to museums are culture vultures.
I worked at the Met many years ago and was lucky to see what visitors don’t. I’m still impressed with the Brooklyn Museum.
