What brokers are those with?
I’ve seen that Elliman listing in PLG, too, and, no, that is NOT Lefferts Manor, but it is in the PLG historic district. It’s a nice block of mostly 2 family houses. The Parkside house is not landmarked, and is across the street from Mcdonald’s (not a great thing) and just one half block from the Q station (a good thing), and almost next to a so-so Associated (a mixed thing). You could get one in the historic district on a better block (Sterling or Lefferts) for the same or only slightly more, but it wouldn’t be as close to the train or the park.
There is another West Midwood house for sale at approximately 763 Rugby Road. It’s in great shape.
Yet another is available on Wellington Court off Rugby. It is at the end of the court and is abutting the Q-train tracks. But it was completely renovated about five years ago. The result is virtually no train noise. I checked on this factor during a recent open house.
By the way, West Midwood is defined as the area bound by Coney Island Avenue on the west, the Q-train tracks on the east, Avenue H on the south, and Foster Avenue on the north.
Fiske Terrace is on the east side of the Q-train tracks and its eastern border is Ocean Avenue. North and south are Foster and H.
Prices have only recently passed the million mark in these two neighborhoods.
The parkside house seems kinda pricy, considering that $900k gets you a house double the size in this hood.
If it needs alot of work, it could go for more like $575k
I have seen ths fiske terrace one and it needs a BOAT load of work. I think that it may go for 1mil but thats it…it needs at least 600k. Plus there is no backyard. The properties are movin in this neighborhood but only the good ones.
I agree on the Glenwood Road listing. I think it is overpriced. But then things in Victorian Flatbush seem to be going for more and more regardless of the slowing market. I guess it is because the area is so unique and their isn’t much inventory. The Caton Place house that was being flipped so quickly and still needed so much work actually had a price increase. Odd. Also the beautiful one Mary Kay had for $1.9, which was highlighted a week or so ago and many thought was overpriced, is already in contract.
yeah- I live right near the Glenwood Road listing. That price is insanity. I wish it weren’t, but it is. To me, it’s overpriced by at least 300, maybe 400k.
yawn
Fiske at 1.6MM still needs so much work but as a B&B could make someone money (??). The Midwood house lacks alot of the original details most homes there should have and seems overpriced .. the work they did doesn’t really do it for me anyway so I would see that as work to be done again one day … highhat lights in a victorian-ish house?
