Tune in tomorrow morning for Open House Picks: Apartments
5:40 PM: I’ve heard that the lean factor affects some WT houses from the construction on the Prospect Expressway in the ’50s.
Is there a way that you could level the individual floors while the house itself still has some lean to it?
To the poster asking about Bed-Stuy schools: apparently there is at least one well-regarded charter school here. There are also some up-and-coming schools in Clinton Hill which have space for kids from outside the immediate neighborhood. When we moved here (to Hancock Street, to be exact) people did ask us, “What are you going to do about schools?” Frankly, no matter where I lived in NYC I would probably be doing the same thing I am doing right now: going on tours, exploring all options, trying to figure out how to work the system. I doubt I would be saying “Oh well, we’re zoned for X so let’s sign up!” I’m just grateful to have found a great home here for my family. That’s my 2 cents.
“Does anyone know what the story is with this house?”
as the comments said, the house as a distinct lean so you have to factor in an expensive repair unless you like living on a tilt. I’m not even sure how you’d do it if the whole line of houses has the same problem, what, you’re going to be jacking up the neighboring common walls as well?
On 464 Macon.. I considered this one when it was at 899k. The block is amazing. In terms of mold, the basement seemed really clean to me. For those who dont know..almost any basement has mold. You can pay someone 3k to abate. All issues considered, it will likely go for 859k. I know Corcoran had another place on Jefferson that wasnt as nice that closed recently in the 860k’s.
4:59–there was a cryptic thread on the forum about “issues” with this house:

The WT house looks beautiful but seems a little high for the area. Knock off about $200-300k and it would seem to be more in line with what nicer houses in the area have gotten recently.
Does anyone know what the story is with this house?

$650k for a decent looking single family home in WT seems like a good deal. It looks like it needs a little work but from the pictures it appears to be far from a complete gut job.
Why would the price be so low? Location? Some underlying structural problems that aren’t apparent from the listing?
Hi Rita!
cheap as hell? huh? wow…
It was a legitimate question. I look at these things every week and I never see a full house that looks this nice in PS for 1.7 million.
Certainly when compared to the place in WT for only 200K more.
7th Street is a great location, no?
