if you put 100k-200k into it probably worth about 1.8M or so
i’ve been inside 109 and it’s very solid, it has some detail (archways – original window colored glass…), it needs some cosmetic work, remove the carpets, wall paper (ugly!!!) paint job, kitchen and bathrooms, … but it’s H U G E ! ! ! i think they might be a little short listing it at 3000 SF. and that garden was really nice. no garage though…
Haven’t seen 109 Marlborough inside, but the outside is the only seriously remuddled exterior I can think of in Prospect Park South…somebody made it all boxy and odd–plus, re location, the Q train culvert runs thru the backyard. (“Close to transportation,” you might say in brokerese.) But hey, at $1.25 million, wotta bargain!
anon 10:03 you could not be more wrong
i agree with the bubble comment. i don’t understand why the rest of the country is in a housing slump with people losing their shirts left and right, and readers of this blog don’t realize that we still have to go through what the rest of the country is experiencing.
i think that inventory is low because sellers are hoping to sit out what they’re beginning to see is a slump. if you walk by realtors’ offices lately, there are lots of price cuts…
PPS houses in need of reno and lacking detail are commanding prices of 1.1 million and more… Location, location, location… The Ditmas Park house that sold for 1.9 million may have even broken the 2 million if it were in PPS. You don’t lose the easy access to the Park and your still close enough to the Slope for comfort, which seems to be important to some refugees.
The price is close to the mark – despite the nasty wallpaper and lack of detail, and, of course, the whole front of the house was altered at some point. Go look at recent comps in prime PPS (i.e. not Stratford).
Wade’s the only person out of all of you making any sense. Houses in East New York at 700K. East New York. $700K. I realize that most homeowners in Brooklyn who read this blog have seen their property values increase tenfold over the last decade — if not more — but you’d think someone would be sane enough to recognize a bubble when they see it.
258 Lincoln is still on the market–I have an appointment to see it this weekend. And the realtor with Corcoran called to tell me that the 3 story brick on Midwood I saw a few months ago asking 1.2M is now asking 999K. And the BHS realtor with the 2 story on Midwood asking 899K–the exact same house as this one on Lincoln but not renovated–has called to see if I’m interested. I saw it over a month ago–if I were interested I would have called her! While I know better than to second guess the market, Lefferts Manor is still very much a buyer’s market. And this Lincoln Road listing is about 150K over-priced.
258 Lincoln Road is cute but doesn’t compare with the Rutland house that was featured on this blog last week. now that’s a great house…could it have been snatched up considering there’s no open house this weekend…? huh?
