House of the Day: 55 83rd Street

This beautiful colonial house at 55 83rd Street in Bay Ridge was on the market earlier this year and after a brief summer vacation, is back on again with the same asking price of $3,350,000. We won’t pretend to know whether that’s a good value or not. Instead we’ll spend our time drooling over the original interiors and suburban-like 80-by-100-foot lot. Pretty sweet indeed.

The school isn’t going to lower the price. A house just down the street from the school sold for 4.65million.
Funny, ditto. That’s about what I plan to spend on my first house.
The downpayment is only $670,000 according to the realtor’s mortgage calculator.
knock off 2 million. you couldnt PAY me 10 million to live in front of a gross ghetto city public high school.
*rob*
No doubt you will need flood insurance for the size of the mortgage. it will be very expensive. Even though this house is on a hill and won’t flood unless we get that tsunami from the Azores.
It’s across the street from a very large High School; Fort Hamilton.
IMO, that’s a negative.
The block does have some very nice looking homes. It’s half a block from the ‘Gingerbread’ house, which by the way is still on the market.
And it’s one block from the water. I wonder if they have a view of Verrazzano bridge.
Overpriced!!! Prolly by a million. That’s right I said a million….cause of the close location to the school.
A 1700s house in Bay Ridge? Better call 311 and ask for “landmarking”.
I like the yard space and the exterior of the house. The interiors are nothing to write home about. That’s a lotta dough though. Other homes featured by this broker are similarly exobitant but maybe I just don’t know prices in Bay Ridge.
“It’s across the street from a gigormous playground, not a Park”
Pretty sure it’s the sports ground for Ft Hamilton High School.
