Comment: No sign of a post-Labor Day flood of quality properties. Leftover losers from the summer still dominating the mix.
Regarding 414 Henry Street– I just drove by to check it out. A few comments: it is DIRECTLY across the street from PS 29 (great school, yes, but directly across the street). And more importantly, something is up with the limestone facade as it is all yellowed and stained, not in good shape. I don’t know much about limestone, but you’d have to definitely do something to it. Also, does not have the original windows, and it’s somehow very obvious.
C’mon Stoner, these prices a nugging futs!
The midwood price is insane. Its a great property, but its on the wrong side of Ocean Ave.
The price for the Clifton Place property. I’m not sure about the joint in your back yard of Clinton Hill, because those renos are very subjective. Personally, I’d rather get something structually sound that’s a mess inside and I’d fix it up, verusu the cheap home depot job that most of these flippers provide.
Hey Stoner, can you put up some houses that us working folks, earning under $250k/year can afford?
I wouldn’t say “750 East 21st Street ” is a left over loser. It went onto the market a month ago. Just a very tough time to sell a $1m+ property. It is a great house inside, huge and lots of detail tip top shape, corner block. MKG would probably have marketed it for more (she sold it originally).
But, and it is a big one, it is a hike to either newkirk or cortelyou. For the majority of readers this area will not be white enough for them. If someone doesn’t like to see that in print then I can rephrase it to say the median income of the very immediate neighbors in the blocks directly around are not compatible with single-owner $1m+ homes, and neither are the local shops. That is the plain truth. Safe, yeah. Just you’re kinda a rich pioneer (or is vanguard of the well-to-do midwood re-population army). Only this financial market turmoil may leave your support lines very thin and vulnerable to attack.
Re Henry Street, I love it, but don’t love the fact that it is a 4 family. The $10,000/year in taxes is nuts. I can move to Scarsdale and pay taxes like that if I want to. I would, however, assume that given a $7,500/month rent roll that the 3 units being rented out are not rent controlled/rent stabilized (I realize that they could be, but it seems unlikely given the decent rents). I never understand why brokers are so cagey about these things. Or maybe they don’t realize that they come off as cagey when they provide info (such as that there are existing tenants), but don’t provide complete info (such as whether those tenants are rent controlled/rent stabilized).
To be fair, Corcoran lists the Clifton Pl. property, absurdly overpriced as it is, as being in Bed-Stuy. It’s Brownstoner (or the feed) that for some reason has it listed as Clinton Hill.
yeah that house is in bed sty not clinton hill.
armchair.
The pictures of the Clifton Place house sure don’t measure up to the broker’s description!
yeah, the bed stuy house (bainbridge)? i fail to see the allure of a long and overcomplicated explanation of FAR over some actual description of the house. and what’s with the postage-stamp photo?
“This brownstone has too many details to list.”
i guess so!
Love the FAR sales pitch for Bainbridge Street. Reads as if that is all there is to recommend about the property.
