Houses of the Day: 404 and 408 Stuyvesant Avenue
The gorgeous limestone mansions at 404 and 408 Stuyvesant Avenue in Stuyvesant Heights have both been on the market for over a year.

The gorgeous limestone mansions at 404 and 408 Stuyvesant Avenue in Stuyvesant Heights have both been on the market for over a year. (In the case of Number 404, it’s been about 18 months since the owner tried an auction approach.) Many open houses and price cuts later, 404 is showing up as having just gone into contract; the most recent asking price was $1,475,000. As for 408, which is listed at $1,550,000, there’s still no buyer. Could have something to do with that pesky rent-stabilized unit.

“G-d”
Are you afraid of God?
Biff- For the record MM came after me, and she knows this by using the old “your grammer is bad” smoke screen. The same one you frequently use.
“outclassed, outmanuvered and out of your league”
Stop posting out your ass.. you know nothing of me.
comedy
And thank G-d you are, 10:03. I can’t tell if you intentionally go out of your way to sound unintelligent or you simply have no choice but going after MM only points up the fact that you are outclassed, outmanuvered and out of your league.
Hope ou get help for that scatological obsession of yours- yours must be a sad life spent in the basement of your parents house, reading porn magazines and wondering why life is passing you by.
-Cheers to MM
MM, jealous? oh please…. dont get ur panties in a bunch.
You’re right I dont own this blog and I didnt mean “you are not welcomed” HERE. I hope I didnt make you cry from my typo and poor usuage of your english language. My bad.
You=”Thanks for the laugh”.
Me= “you are not welcomed”.
The only complaint I have is your lack of conviction. Other than that, good job on the smoke screen.
9:07 I really dont give a rat’s ass about being eloquent on a blog. Do the world a favor print this thread, roll it up tight, then shove it up your sloppy ass.
I is finish.
I have to agree MM is far more eloquent than 10.24. What the devil does “you are not welcomed” mean. Sloppy words, sloppy thinking.
11:23 I think the services that you are looking for are in the city… I have been here for 2 years and mostly every think I need is in the area. I never have to leave my area to get what I am looking.. ok maybe good Italian food or something but over all I have everything I need right here… I think If you don’t like it here you should leave…
11:23: The A and C are not a mile away from your house.
If you could afford a better neighborhood, why in god’s name are you renting in Bed-Stuy? If this is the only place you can afford and you think you can just pick up and go to a better hood with more services, you are on crack. You couldn’t afford it before and you won’t be able to afford it later.
As for buying, if you rent in Bed-Stuy you can’t afford Bed-Stuy. Have fun living in the Midwest in a year or two.
10:24, not welcomed by whom? You are the only person complaining, and it’s not your blog, so who cares?
Don’t be jealous because I have a better grasp of the English language than you do. Get educated, so I don’t have to keep trying to bring you up to speed. The only ass around here is you.
I’ve been living in Bed-Stuy for three years, and I walk by the 400 block of Stuyvesant on the way to the train. I’m not going to take the side that the neighborhood is definitely going to skyrocket in value. Nor am I going to say that it’s a hopeless case. I have to honestly say, after being here three years, in two different parts of the neighborhood that I just don’t know.
On my block alone, Monroe between Stuyvesant and Lewis, there are six homes for sale, and they’ve been on the market at least since I moved in in October.
This past Monday, at 6pm, I heard many, many rounds of machine gun fire, probably about a block away. Forty five minutes later, an NYPD helicopter was circling the area, flying really low above the rooftops.
Stuyvesant Heights is lovely. There are things going on at the northern edge of Bed-Stuy, near Broadway, where I used to live. The center of Bed-Stuy where I am now? The schools look great. There’s a charter high school for Science, Technology and the Arts a block away. But then again- there are barely any decent restaurants or food markets. The two closest laundromats are constantly in poor repair. It’s almost a mile walk to any train.
So I guess I wonder how anyone can be so sure what’s going to happen to Bed-Stuy. It’s a neighborhood full of contradictions. As for me, I’m ready to move somewhere that has a few more amenities. I think it might take a while for those things to happen here.
I used to be of the opinion that you’d have to be really ignorant not to want to buy a home here if you were in the market for a brownstone. But honestly, I can’t see owning a home in a neighborhood that has so few basic services. It doesn’t seem so bad until you have to live it every day.
