House of the Day: 265 Sterling Street
This pretty limestone house at 265 Sterling Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens came on the market back in February at $849,000 and is currently suffering death by a thousand (okay, three) price cuts. Last week’s was more of a trim than a cut, bringing the asking price from $749,000 to $735,000. This kind of gradualism…

This pretty limestone house at 265 Sterling Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens came on the market back in February at $849,000 and is currently suffering death by a thousand (okay, three) price cuts. Last week’s was more of a trim than a cut, bringing the asking price from $749,000 to $735,000. This kind of gradualism is tempting as an owner but in this market it seems like getting out in front of the market with an attention-getting reduction is probably the way to go. Beautiful interiors though!

I would bet that an offer 100k below would at least be considered.
kissera, it doesn’t hurt to go look at it and put an offer in 100K less. Hey, you NEVER know.
This place is so adorable it dragged me from lurker to poster!Now if they’d just drop it another hundred grand I’d be all over it. Hey, it’s already dropped more than 100k in six months! A girl can dream.
Drip drip…

Nice block,not in lefferts manor, but in the PLG Historic District and only 1/2 block to the subway (although IMO the 2/5is not as good as the B/Q on the western end of PLG).
If I were looking for a house one of those extra kitchens would be easily converted to a darkroom, but I don’t think that’ll influence anyone else.
MyerB, then you’ll have to have all 3 fridges fully stacked and munchie worthy. That’s a lot of work.
Three kitchens is the ultimate cure for the late night munchies, is my guess. Wow this house is stunning. I’ll just have to sell like 8 scripts to pay for it. Still working on that first one.
LIKE!
Absolutely gorgeous. Why would it have 3 kitchens though? That’s very confusing. Is it divided into 3 family or something?
