House of the Day: 494 East 16th Street
This house at 494 East 16th Street has a lot going for it. It’s not the biggest or the fanciest house in Ditmas Park, but the corner house has some beautiful floors, beams and moldings to recommend it. The 2,900-square-foot pad sold for $930,000 in 2007 and is now asking $1,035,000. Reasonable? 494 East 16th…

This looks nice if you want to live in Brookurbia, but given the 2007 price I wouldn’t pay a penny over the 900K, if that.
From COTD….
Plus this is Brooklyn Heights it’s not some windswept street Downtown. Why do people assume living in an Art Deco highrise co-op in Brooklyn Heights will be cheap? What part of that makes one think of “inexpensive”?

Why do people assume living in a nicely built Arts & Crafts house with a large lawn and yard will be cheap? This is not some trash strewn street with a nearby bodega in Brooklyn heights
Minard, we can find common ground!!
This is a very nice house. Nice layout too.
The price seems unrealistic. Have prices really appreciated so much in Ditmas Park since 2007? That’s news. I would have guessed the opposite.
i dont understand paying a million dollars to live here. it essentially looks just like any random suburb and im sure the schools suck, why not just move somewhere else closeby that’s is much cheaper, has good schools, and basically looks exactly the same? i guess the only positive thing about this house is that you could probably work as a cashier at duane read and be able to afford the taxes.

DS, you coming to Duplex on Thursday????
SUPER cute. But, why no pics of bathrooms or kitchen? That is annoying.
The train is below street level, but the rumble is definitely audible. Also noteworthy, the backyards on these houses are smaller than usual because of the track trench.
Cute house though. I was just walking by it again this weekend and admiring it.
