House of the Day: 98 Brooklyn Avenue Revisited
When 98 Brooklyn Avenue was House of the Day back in March, it had just been relisted as a short sale with a price tag of $640,000. We say relisted because it had been on and off the market for a few years already, starting with an aggressive asking price of $799,000 back in 2006….
When 98 Brooklyn Avenue was House of the Day back in March, it had just been relisted as a short sale with a price tag of $640,000. We say relisted because it had been on and off the market for a few years already, starting with an aggressive asking price of $799,000 back in 2006. The place has been chopped up a bit and the facade could be in better shape, but there are still some charming remnants left and the corner location makes for lots of windows and light. Back in March, the pricing widget consensus was $514,755. Well, now’s your chance, folks, because the price has been cut $100,000 in the last couple of weeks bringing the current price to $499,000!

I am relatively new to the area and looking to purchase… what are some of the challenges in converting this brownstone to a legal 3 family. Also, what do you think about renovation costs? At 499 seems like a pretty decent deal
This is an Amzi Hill house. Not one of his masterpieces, but this group of houses are among the earliest he did in CHN.
Walking tour is this sunday. Here’s a link with all the info:

Excellent. I cannot wait to see Heather’s new place.
Also, grats, m4less. So… you’re renovating and then selling to us, right? 🙂
Do not touch that dining room. Do not open up that galley kitchen.
That location and that price sort of make the rest irrelevant? It’s a decent deal at $499K, for anyone — be they flipper, investor, or gentrifier. Hell, you could probably make an illegal bed and breakfast out of the units and have a sweet duplex, plus income.
Dibs,
You’re right.
There’s a nice view of a mansion out of the side windows.
Wow, M4L, congrats and good luck. Why’d you wait so long, and what are you having done?
Frederick, the tour is this Sun. meeting at 11am at the girls high school on Nostrand Ave (& Macon St). But I stand corrected cause it’s the Bed Stuy tour and Not the Crown Heights one.
“I left Manhattan to have the yard.” – some people don’t need a whole yard. A couple of feet will do.
