House of the Day: 216 Maple Street
This three-story limestone at 216 Maple Street at Rogers Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is, like many houses in the area, a real beauty. In addition to the impressive wood paneling, we’re quite taken with the separate side entrance on the ground floor. The asking price of $985,000 isn’t nuts but we suspect the market-clearing…
This three-story limestone at 216 Maple Street at Rogers Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is, like many houses in the area, a real beauty. In addition to the impressive wood paneling, we’re quite taken with the separate side entrance on the ground floor. The asking price of $985,000 isn’t nuts but we suspect the market-clearing price will end up being more like $900,000. What do you think?

cw,
There REALLY are blocks in the PLG HD outside of LM that are every bit as nice. Sterling III is an excellent example. You could have a rental there.
This is a gorgeous house, right around the corner from me. But the location has two huge negatives: 1) Rogers Avenue is extremely noisy, including a lot of truck traffic, all day and all night, and 2) it is directly across the street from a busy firehouse. I think this house could go for 100-150K more if it weren’t for the noise factor. That being said, if anyone buys it, would you please rent me one of the garages? 🙂
It’s all good. I can totally understand why a no-tenants policy would be desirable for a neighborhood. Just that I don’t see any point in the foreseeable future where a mortgage on $900k-ish will be doable for my wife and I alone, so it keeps me out of those areas.
Hopefully I’m wrong and our salaries will continue to increase through our thirties, and eventually we’ll be able to live somewhere that nice. 🙂
“ontheparkway” writes “It’s amazing, but 99% of LM residents think the sing;e-family rule is great.
They don’t realize it costs them bigtime when they try to sell since it keeps folks like CW out of the nabe”.
I think most Lefferts Manor homeowners are well aware of what the single-family restriction “costs” us. We’re also aware of the many benefits, which make our part of PLG unique among Brooklyn’s brownstone neighborhoods.
Not that I especially want to keep CW out–on the contrary, which is why I suggested some PLG streets bordering the Manor where rental income is not a problem.
HOT.
That’s a sweet looking home.
Were those harps I saw in the second picture?
I’m intrigued by the single family ruling and would do almost anything to own one of those beautiful homes in LM.
not arguing with you, tradmod, just pointing out that it’s not a turnkey situation
Kings Cty hospital and SUNY Downstate medical school is right near here. No shortage of doctors.
