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 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.

You’re telling me the cable guys don’t know how to bring a cable line into your house? That is weird.
You’d wire for cable Internet, TV and telephone, so you can get it coming into your house. Then you add a wireless router to the mix, so you can have wireless in any room.
In this wireless age, why in the world would you wire for tel. or internet? I feel like wiring for technology is an idea whose time has passed.
Odd — I tried to submit a price to the widget and got a note saying I’ve already voted and can’t submit again. I haven’t!
A lot of these homes where orginally designed for a forced air. Have you ever noticed a register grill in the parlor hall, or behind some old sheet rock near a mantle?
If you have a one family and don’t need to put the kitchen on the parlor floor, I really like the old-fashioned approach of keeping it near the garden. Keeps all that messy coal and firewood out of sight.
Ooooooh can you install central air and heating together in a chimney? And not have any ductwork in the house?
Maybe we need to be more ambitious in our spending, ha ha.
Boerumresident I think the house might have had forced air heating. This house looks like a Amzi Hill house where he is known to have used forced air.. many of his houses still use this method of heating…
I am happy to see that this “Stuyvesant Heights” house having so much buzz… The price is a bit more in reach for most people… This house should not stay on the market long. The price should go for something near the Average Reader Appraisal in the low 700s
