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.

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.

Oh, I found the floorplan (hidden inside Virtual Tour). It is a one family. Curious choice to put a bathroom next to the formal dining room and call that a bedroom.
Anyway, awfully pretty house. Who knows, maybe they’ll get their price — which I assume is actually between $680,000 and $720,000. It is aggressive for the location but the house is impeccable.
bkplebe…you’re no match for the What with the cut and paste. I’d like to see the geographic diversity of those 7 MM homes.
mopar, I think that one sold for a lot more than $500k

Housing Recovery Obstacle: So Many Houses

Overall very nice house. Almost feel like the house was over-improved for the location (not that I love all of the choices, a little fussy in places for my taste), though. Maybe the sellers intended to be there longer.
This house in not in the Stuyvesant Heights Landmark District but it is in Stuyvesant Heights. I think this house should go for in the high 600s there are other homes on that block that look the same and have an extra floor that is cheaper. This is a great block and it will be landmarked we hope soon. The Bedford Stuyvesant landmark committee has photographed this block and has submitted the package to Landmarks. This block will be part of the Stuyvesant North Historic District. This is truly one of the nicest blocks in brownstone Brooklyn you really feel the turn of the century as you walk down it….

September Rents Fall Further in Manhattan

More4Less, the place opposite the park sold for $500,000? Is this the one listed with Corcoran for a million or so? I seem to recall it was smaller, two floors and an unfinished cellar, but I’m not sure. This is three stories plus a cellar.
Again, floorplan is on the Virtual Tour link and it has a CofO for a 2 famiily.
It’s a hike to the train. Dave, you must be a fast walker! And this is definitely further.
