House of the Day: 212 Midwood Street
The interior of this brownstone at 212 Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens has been beautifully renovated. The big question, then, is whether that’s enough to compensate for the fact that the house has only two above-ground floors (plus an English basement). The asking price is $979,000, which would fly if there were another floor,…

The big question, then, is whether that’s enough to compensate for the fact that the house has only two above-ground floors (plus an English basement). The asking price is $979,000, which would fly if there were another floor, but we’re not optimistic given its actual size. Thoughts?

Brownstoner, You have an old picture of the house posted. The windows and door are black now.
They did a lot more than sprucing up on this place. They spent months stripping and refinishing the woodwork. The place was done top to bottom. I saw it before they started the reno. I can’t believe it’s the same house! Two story houses are all going into contract pretty fast in this area (except the over priced on on Maple Street). I was shocked at how fast a two story on Rutland went into contract recently.
By the way, for any potential investors in my proposed business idea… don’t get any ideas about fancy shmancy soaking tubs an what not. Basic fiberglass shower units will be perfectly adequate for our purposes.
lucybb:
there are soaking tubs for alot less.
I’m partial to Kohler’s Tea for Two (built in) about $1,500..and it’s cast iron.
> Snark, are you a “RH Queen?”
Well, I don’t know about that, but the bf did buy his bathroom hardware there. The Spritz Collection in satin stainless steel.
parlor, not palor though living in the basement doesn’t earn you much of a tan.
Hee hee. Thanks for noticing Bob. I’m trying to join in the game.
By the way, I’ve thought a little more about my brothel… err… massage parlor idea and I think I want to do it. Anyone want to be an investor?
I like the idea of the ladies of the night from the erotic massage palor travelling down water slide to their illegal basement apartment.
“FYI”?
tybur6, I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that there are “friggin’ abbreviations” being used here 😉
