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 asking price is $979,000, which would fly if there were another floor, but we’re not optimistic given its actual size. Thoughts?

Yes tybur6, it IS much easier to type, especially for someone like me who missed typing in Jr. high school and had limited and rudimentary typing/keyboarding skills.

You could rent out this house for like $8,000/mo — totally the going price in the neighborhood. Then you’d be rolling in cash.
Is AFAIK really that much easier to type than as far as I know?
I hate these friggin’ abbreviations. I know it takes me twice as long to read it.
Thanks
DIBS,
Lefferts Manor has had a single family covenant since the area was subdivided by the Lefferts family in 1893; it’s also had R2 (single family) zoning since 1960. You CAN rent out a whole house, but you can’t divide it up into apartments and rent one (or more) of them. AFAIK LM is the only part of brownstone Brooklyn that has such restrictions, but many (non-brownstone) neighborhoods have R2 or other single-family zoning.
DIBS, all Lefferts Manor houses have a codicile to the lease that makes them single family only–you can rent the whole house, but not an apartment in it.
I like the kitchen. But this is the same price as larger, equally renovated houses in Lefferts Manor have recently sold for. I bet it goes for 10% less than the asking.
mopar, how can an area not allow renting??? i think I may have heard someone allude to this once before.
This place is in perfect move-in condition with plenty of space for one family in an area that does not allow renting. If the price is good, I bet it will sell quickly.
