House of the Day: 786 Putnam Avenue
This house at 786 Putnam Avenue is a real charmer. Tons of original detail, including some beautiful parquet floors and a killer staircase. The house is also located in just outside Stuyvesant Heights, the longtime-landmarked section of Bed Stuy with one of the most incredible and well-preserved stock of old houses anywhere. The house is…
This house at 786 Putnam Avenue is a real charmer. Tons of original detail, including some beautiful parquet floors and a killer staircase. The house is also located in just outside Stuyvesant Heights, the longtime-landmarked section of Bed Stuy with one of the most incredible and well-preserved stock of old houses anywhere. The house is only three stories, though, so it’ll be interesting to see if it fetches its asking price of $799,000. We bet it’ll get pretty close.

CGar…on the floor plans, there are little arrows, if you scroll over them a picture of that area pops up.
Nice details
Odd layout choices
Too far/close enough to the train
Not getting ask.
“On the bright side the house is surrounded by buses that can get you to the train a hell of a lot faster then walking.”
No bus can get you anywhere faster than walking, not at DIBS pace, which is pretty much my pace (20 blocks/mile, 1+ blocks per minute).
“A CrownHeightsLady…you are wrong. It’s 6 1/2 blocks to the A stop which you enter on Stuyvesant & Fulton.
I ended this discussion at 2:03. If you don’t live here please try not to add erroneous talk about how far it is to the subway.”
The blocks are as followed:
Putnam
Jefferson
Hancock
Halsey
Macon
MacDonough
decatur
Banbridge
Chauncey
Then Fulton
And if you include the half a block you have to walk to get to Stuyvesant…it’s 9 and 1/2 blocks.
“This house is one more block north”
DIBS I saw your end of discussion line and all but if you are at Halsey this house is three more blocks to the north. Not that its a deal-killer but its less than ideal to the subway. That’s all I am saying.
bklplebe..your arguments on the economy are just mumbo jumbo and no one here cares.
DIBS: Sorry but how is it 6 1/2 blocks? That would only get you to Decatur, and as far as I know there is not subway entrance there.
CGar, i’d go back and reread the floorplans if I were you. The two bedrooms are on the top floor. There is a bedroom with the largest bathroom, the one with the shower at the end, on the Parlour Floor.
“bklplebe, the Fed is slowing their efforts because the market is improving. Yeesh.”
no–they are slowing because as slow sales show there is no effect. They also realize that they cannot keep housing unaffordable and the bubble going. People need to consume/invest.
