House of the Day: 177 Rugby Road
This house at 177 Rugby Road in Prospect House South is a beauty (we’re sold on the basis of that staircase alone!) but it’s been on the market longer than just about any house in the borough that we can think of. We featured it has a House of the Day way back in 2006…
This house at 177 Rugby Road in Prospect House South is a beauty (we’re sold on the basis of that staircase alone!) but it’s been on the market longer than just about any house in the borough that we can think of. We featured it has a House of the Day way back in 2006 when it was listed for $2,500,000; after a year off the market, the house just came back on again with an asking price of $1,800,000, but obviously they started too high and didn’t cut fast enough. Now what? Where does it end?

Please feel free to spread POOPS far and wide.
PPS definitely the most primo area of Victorian Flatbush from the time it was constructed so a premium to the rest of the area is warranted.
Having said that, this was a pre-crash sale at $1.8m (I think).

I know which one I would rather have for that price so I’ll say 1.3-1.4 for this one.
I am not sure what you mean by tony suburbs but there’s no point in comparing larchmont with flatbush. In the suburbs I mentioned such a house with little land and no recent renovations will not run more than 15K property taxes.
“Someone’s going to buy this house for $1.5 million, put $200,000 into it and live like nyc royalty.”
More like flatbush royalty. But the staircase will give them a hint how NYC royalty might live like. And they should not pay more than $600K

Snark,

Is that stairwell tall enough to have one of those perpetual motion pendulums that they have at science museums? Ya know, with sand at the bottom and it draws a nifty pattern….
such a silly thread. and to the person who does not believe that property taxes in the tony burbs run 25 to 30 thousand a years for a house like this: You should get out more because that’s the way it is in 2009.
There are active crack houses on either side and a Crips community center (i.e., shooting range and whore house) across the street. Stay in Park Slope!

I agree, the fireplace is kind of ugly.
