House of the Day: 600A Jefferson Avenue
Wow. This turn-of-the-century brownstone at 600A Jefferson Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant is stunning. The original architectural details, including gorgeous parquet floors and wooden built-ins, are some of the most impressive we’ve seen in a long time. (We wish they’d included a photo of the original icebox!) Our only reservation about the listing is the mention…

(We wish they’d included a photo of the original icebox!) Our only reservation about the listing is the mention of a top-floor rental, which implies some access issues through the owner-occupied part of the house. And $900,000 is definitely at the high end of prices for this neck of the woods. Then again, the house itself is pretty special and certainly deserves to sell at a premium.

Nice brownstone. Nice walk from train. Should trade for 750 now. 500 later. Hurry up while near peak comps last!
***Bid half off peak comps***
Dry and well built are good words too!
Yes this house is empty. The owners are very nice people that have not lived in the house for some years but they kept this house up.. This block was featured here in NY magazine in 2005 http://nymag.com/nymetro/realestate/neighborhoods/features/11775/
Today I think this is one of the most diverse blocks in Bedford Stuyvesant you have African Americans, English, Dutch, Germans, Middle Eastern, gay, straight, young, old etc… This block feels like old Brooklyn.
“Delivered vacant” ought to be words that more people in brooklyn pay up for!!!!
she was but is gone now….
Amzi, you make the tenant sound like an “issue.” 🙁
It was a upgrade the owner has been working on this house for 30 years slowly. The floor he did not do was the rental on the top floor due to a long term tenant who did want anyone in her apartment to do any kind of work. The cellar of this house is very dry and well built. As a kinda tall man myself I walk around without bending my head.
mopar, in the more civilized parts where we rich folks live, the cellar has a ceeement floor. Note the pronunciation on ceement. 🙂
OK, more questions.
How do you have a cedar closet in the cellar? Isn’t the cellar a horrible dungeon with a dirt floor and stone walls?
