yeah I love that park place house. Walk by it and admire it.
Crown Heights is not dangerous. Crown Heights in the Albany projects, yes but not in the neighborhood spots.This guy is a flamer and does this every time there is a house posted in Bed-stuy or Prospect Lefferts Garden. He’s mad he’s still renting. So for the record, guest at November 2, 2007 3:18 PM
DO YOU RENT OR OWN AND IN WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD?
Lovely story, MM, thanks. That said, the house is still wildly overpriced.
Typed too fast – a correction. This house was $300K when everything else was $150K, half as much as this house. Most homes were in the $120 – 140 range at the time.
When I lived across Atlantic Ave in Bed Stuy, I used to take long walks in Crown Heights and make lists of all of the houses I wanted. This house was always on the list.
It is a huge beauty of a house in an eclectic West Coast/Late Victorian/Craftsman kind of way. The clay tile roof and eyebrow window are very unusual for the neighborhood. Ten years or so ago, it was on sale for $300K, when houses in the neighborhood rarely went for more than $250K. I was looking forward to the open house at that time, and then it was taken off the market, so I never saw it. A few years later, someone had obviously bought it, because they completely redid the front fence, and redid the roof and other exterior renovations. They’ve obviously been busy inside. I’m disappointed they painted all the woodwork, I was told it was all unpainted oak before. Not crazy about
the bathroom or kitchen, but that’s my taste, not a reflection of whether or not it’s a good job.
This house was originally the rabbi’s house for the huge temple next door as you look to the right of the picture. This temple is now a very active and large (with a great choir)Pentacostal Church. Brower Park is across the street, but because of the mass of teh church building, this block is rather isolated, and it is very quiet. One of the houses from the House Tour is right around the corner on Hampton Place.
I’m not going to get in an argument over safety, crime stats, and the usual Crown Heights bashing. Those of us who love the neighborhood will continue to love it no matter what anyone says, those who enjoy telling us otherwise – whatever.
Suffice it to say that this house, which will be in Phase 2 of the CH Landmarking initiative, is another fine example of the very eclectic and worthy architectural stock in the neighborhood. Obviously, priced for someone for whom money, and certain popular opinion, mean nothing. This is a special piece of architecture, and the pricing, like similar stand-alone mansions currently for sale in Crown Heights North (I can think of 3 others, not including this one) reflects its uniqueness. I hope it goes to someone who will do it proud. I plan on going to see it, and finally get inside, at last.
i saw the carroll gardens place last weekend.
it’s got to be the darkest corner house i’ve even seen with every curtain and shade down (you’d think the brokers would open them up to show how nice have windows would be). the tenants were home during th e open house (not that that’s a problem) but it sort of breaks your heart when the 2 80+ year old tenants are cooking lunch in their kitchen. the other unit was so dirty and dissgusting. i think i ranted somewhere else on this blog about how i got a good look at their dirty underwear right in the middle of the floor. and this is with 3 brokers showing it! no one can just cruise though quickly and kick dirty clothes under a bed or something? i feel like it wasn’t Vita that showed it though as i think
they are genrally better about those kinds of things. anyway totally overpriced…gorgeous block though!
1094 Park in Crown Heights looks like a NJ-trash Sopranos-style house on the inside.
Well, Corcoran must love this site. The ugly Crown Heights house above and yesterday’s HOTD (40 St. Marks) are the two most viewed Corcoran properties.
