House of the Day: 1809 Glenwood Road

It takes a little vision to look past some of the aesthetics of this listing at 1809 Glenwood Road, but if you look closely you can see the downers are mostly skin deep. Remove the tacky furniture and occasional strip of track lighting, and this three-bedroom house would show pretty nicely. It’s got some very nice bones in the form of front-hall columns, fireplaces and built-in cabinetry. Not so sure about the price though: It’s asking $1,275,000. Reactions?

Dude!! (yes, I just said Dude)
1.275 Mil for a house in Ditmas Park?
Those columns are hella cheesey (yes, I just said hella)
I think the master bedroom had a trampoline in the photo on the realtor’s website
Price is waay too high.
I take back my remark about it being small — it is 3200 sq feet and six bedrooms, not 3 as it says in Mr. B’s post, although this listing is so fantastical I do not necessarily trust the broker not to list a walk-in closet or some such as a bedroom.
It still needs a lot of work. The days when people would pay over $1.2M for “needs a lot of work” in Ditmas are gone.
on the broker web site:
$1,275,000 A Mere Pittance
broker describes the price as a “mere pittance”!

Lopping off $400k might stir up some interest.
Broken record here, but the sellers in Ditmas are particularly reluctant to glance at a calendar and realize it will never be 2007 again. I don’t know why that neighborhood in particular, but that is the case. The only people cutting prices in Ditmas either have to sell or have had the property on the market forever and are getting antsy. It’s a great neighborhood but right now it’s frozen up tight. I am looking at the same listings I was seeing in December, except for the few that have been yanked off the market.
All that said, it’s a cute house with lots of potential, although it is small for that neck of the woods. I don’t see it going for more than $1 million, not needing that kind of work and not on Glenwood.
This is that middle income neighborhood right?
