House of the Day: 421 Sterling Place
We’re digging this limestone house that just hit the market at 421 Sterling Place, and we suspect that house hunters with a thing for original detail will too. The woodwork on the parlor floor is particularly impressive, and the 131-foot-deep lot makes for a killer backyard. The only real negative (for some buyers, anyway) is…
We’re digging this limestone house that just hit the market at 421 Sterling Place, and we suspect that house hunters with a thing for original detail will too. The woodwork on the parlor floor is particularly impressive, and the 131-foot-deep lot makes for a killer backyard. The only real negative (for some buyers, anyway) is that the house has only three stories. Then again the price tag would likely be quite a bit higher than $1,699,000 if that weren’t the case. You liking it?

I really want to see this at the open house last weekend and then forgot.
I just wanna see it.
Broker said electrical was recently upgraded, however a number of lights were out with a blown fuse, so I took that with a grain of salt.
Who wants a 4-story house… sooo many stairs.
DIBS, I dont know and the broker wasnt saying. Definitely weird that the basement was of limits.
Do you ask about electrical and plumbing, dcb? I didn’t get to because there were too many people trying to talk to the agent.
I took a look at Google street view. I don’t care how nice that block is and how nice the house is. Washington Avenue is about as butt ugly as you can get. Why someone would pay $1.7M to live next to that is beyond me. Different strokes for differnt folks, I guess.
DCB, so the basement was a rental unit???
Not great for public transport, but a nice looking house and that yard is awesome. Would imagine they will have to reduce ask to somewhere around 1.3 before selling but perhaps some buyer with a hankering for details and a big yard will bite at current price.
This is a very fine house. I think it would sell for close to asking. Washington is not the worse street in Brooklyn. Washington seems much like Vanderbilt was only 5 years ago. As AY grows Washington will be the new Flatbush, and Flatbush will be a parking lot.
