House of the Day: 176 Bainbridge Street
This three-story brownstone at 176 Bainbridge Street in Bed Stuy just hit the market with an asking price of $695,000. While the ultimate selling price may end up barely having a “6” at the front of it, the current ask is probably too high given the size (2,700 square feet) and the condition—while the whitewashed…
This three-story brownstone at 176 Bainbridge Street in Bed Stuy just hit the market with an asking price of $695,000. While the ultimate selling price may end up barely having a “6” at the front of it, the current ask is probably too high given the size (2,700 square feet) and the condition—while the whitewashed walls and sanded floors sit fine with us, the Home Depot light fixtures and tacky door knobs make us fear the worst about the unphotographed bathrooms and kitchens. What do you think? If this were $100,000 cheaper would it be a buy?

Looks like a nice place. No idea about neighbourhood but the better informed think it’s okay. What’s not to like apart from the price?
I am talking public school not playground. No comparison between Bed stuy and Maplewood if you happen to work on the west side.
HEY WHAT…What’s wrong with the PJs??? Do bad people live there???
Define “suburbs” anywhere near NYC for under $600,000. And tell me what the RE taxes are.
Perfect example of turning a brownstone into a Fedders building.
It is a waste.
Assuming the mechanicals are sound, which I highly doubt, this could be worth $600,000 or so. But they’re not. So maybe $520,000.
Maplewood Guy, there are zillions of kids living in this neighborhood. What are you talking about?
Stay out there then, Maplewood.
This place is near the PJ’s and it’s been flipped few times!
Now the question is How much equity you lose!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
a starter space for $600K in Bed Stuy? what are you smoking? Do you have any idea what you can buy in the suburbs for $600K? This is definitely not a neighborhood for kids.
ontheparkway is right……”The whole point of living in Bed-Stuy would be to get a grand space, which this ain’t, for half off or more what you would pay elsewhere.”
That said, this could be a great starter home for someone for, yes, under $600k.
