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 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.

Dave, my bathroom and floorplan confusion aside, I agree with you on re-doing the wainscoting, and I’m not wild about the kitchen, but were I to buy this house, I’d move the kitchen up to the Parlour/Parlor Floor (just don’t tell ‘shillstoner).
bklplebe, I don’t understand your comments. Market is improving slightly, Fed already deeply in debt, they want to ease off but they don’t want to cause collapse by pulling out suddenly, hence they’re slowly pulling out.
Re house, hope they reinforced that chimney before digging out to fit in 36-wide stove!
Kitchen cupboards might actually not be so great, but hard to tell on small photos.
dh, and Utica/Fulton corner is a full minute BEYOND the entrance in Fulton Park.
Snark, care to weigh in on the blue faux antiquing job on the wainscoting??? Other than that, I like lots of what they did. The kitchen however looks a bit cobbled.
Dave is right – as per google maps, walking directions say it’s .5 miles in 10 minutes to go from 786 putnam to utica/fulton
I’ll take that under consideration, northridger. LOL
Yes, Textpert, apparently I typed too fast. As northridger has pointed out, my memory is fading too.
but, northridger, for some of us, it’s all part of dave’s charm
> It seems the two fags are confused today.
Indeed. I count at least three confirmed FOD on this thread.
northridger …
