There are some great houses to see in Bay Ridge; makes a nice stroll for a warm day in Spring. Some of those houses are so huge. Does Bay Ridge have a house tour? I do know there’s the house that was Diamond Jim Brady’s and Lillian Russell’s, which is now a Catholic Girls School, on Shore Road around 97th something like that? And on 95th between Shore and Marine, closer to Shore, there is a Civil War era house that’s amazing. It’s a landmarked house and very well kept. It’s just really sad it’s sandwiched between big apartment or co-op buildings. And there’s a gorgeous house near that big Catholic high school, that’s all made of stone and very Arts & Crafts/Art Nouveau. So unique. It’s a “known” house so you could research and find it. Plus lots of big huge Victorians and New England style houses.
warren st is done those people r stuck and cant sell they mst lower the price further
The building on Downing is really nice. Too bad it’s in such a crappy location.
re: Warren St. We’ve looked a nice buildings on this block in the past. It’s hard to sell a house (even a nice one) that is smack in the middle of 2 housing projects. Not interested in the noise factor, as well as having to look over your shoulder when it’s dark.
Re Clermont: That place has definate POS possibilities – the facade looks pretty good but a 4 family means that it has been very chopped up and if TLC is indicated, I read a place whose last renovation was patchwork to accomodate as many people as possible -There is no indication either of tenant status, which could be an issue.
I am also curious about this place since I live in the area.
There are three townhouses for sale in Fort Greene at that price and they don’t say anything about needing work done.

You see why most people post anonymously Shahn? It’s so they don’t get online stalkers like Ed.
re:Warren st. You sure Crouchback? I remember last year 2 houses 4 sale on that block but they were 20′ x 40′ and 1 floor taller.
(this bldg is 17′ x37′).
Propshark shows same owner for this house since ’72.
New building going up corner of this block and Hoyt.
Zzzap, my building is on Clermont between Fulton and Greene. It’s a legal four family that I use as a three family.
“TLC” to me in a listing generally really means “POS”. It’s not always true, but it often is. That’s why I’m interested to see if theirs is just a good deal and I should price mine with theirs in mind, or if theirs really needs as much work as most buildings sold at tax auctions do.
