House of the Day: 141 Quincy Street
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is…
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is also pretty close (a block and a half, actually) to the Clinton Hill border. Given all this, and the fact that you could move right in, the asking price of $795,000 seems pretty reasonable to us. We bet it goes for within 5 percent of that number.

Plebe, denton is right. It’s like cutting off Brooklyn east of Clinton Hill.
bklplebe – I’ve read most of your comments here and appreciate your insights. You seem to be spot-on with your views. Something we may learn from and I’ll certainly consider.
“you don’t understand the concept of “median”. The “whole lot of people above 96th” do not bring it down. yet you call it “silly”.”
Plebe, it does. The median income of Manhattan would go up considerably if you cut it off at 96th Street. Tell me I’m wrong.
Yeah, “hype” was not really the word they meant there.
“Seconds to all the restaurants, shops and hype of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill”
So, this house is seconds away from the HYPE???
Oh yeah, I think this Quincy Street house is adorable and I love the location. Too expensive for us though.
I really need to see this Stuyvesant Heights place sometime.
If people were able to throw millions in neighborhoods such a bed-sty, clinton or prospect is because of overleverage.

bklplebe seems to know everyone’s financial situation.
Do I really need to dust off my “thousands and thousands of one-bedroom condo owners in Manhattan that can afford a Brooklyn brownstone if they want to sell” speech??????
And yes, even at prices that have come way down on those condos.
“Taking the median Manhattan income is silly. Manhattan goes to 225th Street. You have a whole lot of people above 96th Street that drag it down, not to mention the LES.”
you don’t understand the concept of “median”. The “whole lot of people above 96th” do not bring it down. yet you call it “silly”.
