House of the Day: 180 Adelphi Street
While $1,245,000 may on its surface sound like a low price for a brownstone in Fort Greene, it may not be such a great deal if the house is less than 14 feet wide and devoid of any historic charm, as is the case with 180 Adelphi Street; in addition, the block between Myrtle and…
While $1,245,000 may on its surface sound like a low price for a brownstone in Fort Greene, it may not be such a great deal if the house is less than 14 feet wide and devoid of any historic charm, as is the case with 180 Adelphi Street; in addition, the block between Myrtle and Willoughby is not traditionally the most sought-after location in the neighborhood. The two-family listing isn’t doing itself any favors either with the paltry and poorly-executed selection of photos (we had to hit the pavement and snap this exterior shot ourselves). Come on…
180 Adelphi Street [Awaye Realty] GMAP P*Shark
Open House Picks 4/24/09 [Brownstoner]
worth 650K when its all said and done a few yrs from now
one of these houses pictured, and i can’t remember which, has totally trash-bagged and boarded windows and looks like a crack den.
what is the problem with the two neighbors on the left? i thought we liked the modern place, at least. no?
The location isn’t that bad. The housing project is down by the park (and I don’t think it really affects the attractiveness of houses on the East side of the park or directly across it) and the walk to the train is probably 8-9 minutes (that’s adding a minute for the extra block from my place to DeKalb) – if that’s monstrous, it’s time to hit the gym. Nonetheless, I suppose I am just playing devil’s advocate. The bigger problem with that block is the lack of trees, those two neighbors on the left in the photo, and the church on the other side that is notoriously loud.
per realtors website:
Building SF: 2472
Building Dimensions: 13.75ft X 100ft
Lot SF: 1375
Lot Dimensions: 13.75sf X 45sf
Now worth 2million to fit a 100′ deep house on 45′ lot
I don’t think it’s a good location. I lived on the same block of carlton. huge housing project right across myrtle and a monster walk to the manhattan-bound trains. and you are far enough from the G so it doesn’t really make sense either.
WOW, well balanced, that FSBO ad is ten times better than the broker’s. But that tricycle sitting ominously in the yard is a little scary reminding me of the “Shining.”
An unattractive property, what else to say?
this used to be FSBO. their ad, http://180adelphi.com/ is a little out of date but gives you a better idea than the broker’s. looks like the broker just hasn’t had time to get the listing up right.
