House of the Day: 474 Willoughby Avenue
This brownstone at 474 Willoughby Avenue looked like quite a good deal to us at $650,000, but then we learned that there’s a rent-controlled tenant in place.

This brownstone at 474 Willoughby Avenue looked like quite a good deal to us at $650,000, but then we learned that there’s a rent-controlled tenant in place. Still, the parlor floor has lots of charm and original detail and the block, between Nostrand and Marcy, is remarkably intact for this part of Bed Stuy and chock full of brownstones. Think it’s an interesting play or is that tenant a deal-killer?

Lot of new businesses opening up here, Pratt students.
If anyone were to peruse your posts they’d see how little you actually knew and the fact that about 80% of them were just vitriol spewed against someone else.
Q.E.D.
PS In case you hadn’t noticed, Republicans are de riguer these days, continuing on with the French.
I’d like to see a floor plan on this one. The ornate floor shown is the parlor floor. Likely the brownstone is hideously chopped up with kitchens and baths in unlikely places.
That kitchen on the first floor is interesting. Configured traditionally. Only place to vent a gas dryer is through the back wall there. If the other rooms were available, you could hide these appliances in the middle pantry, if you don’t mind losing the dryer. We use a drying rack and it works fine. At least the walls are in good condition. You can also pay a few thousand to locate the stove inside the fireplace rather than in front of it.
Dave, Mr.uber-Republican egoist.
Merely because I disagree with you and think you are a jerk does not mean I know very little.
Au contraire
It’s not for sale, McKenzie so don’t know where you get that idea. You apparently have no clue what the economics of selling a condo in Manhattan and exchanging the RE taxes there and the Common Charges for a RE tax bill of $2,100 would look like.
Stick to what you know which, by most of your posts, seems like very little.

McKenzie sounds like a bit of a jackass.
…
yep
right dave, you are big at calling other posters names.
And you’re the brilliant investor who bought a house in a poor neighborhood at the peak of the market and now you can’t unload it.
Who’s the jackass, jackass?
Is that a housing project I see just north of this house?
You can buy a brownstone at this price without a rent controlled tenant much closer to Fulton.
