I’m happy to quote you, Biff, just not you-know-who.
The Berkeley place is similar to mine. It’s in a better location but I’ve just suffered through kitchen and bath renovations. Similar square footage but it’s awfully narrow. I’m hoping for a good number.
Agree this is a good range of hoods and prices somewhat realistic in a New York sort of way except for the Cobble Hill POS property.
The Crown Heights place reminds me of Alsace France I mean an absolute beauty. Infact that roof gives it that cool castle look that is simply marvelous but does anyone know the Architect? Amzi Hill? MM?
Also is that limestone? Keep us posted MM and thanks a lot.
Biff-
Let’s say 15-20 minutes to BBG and another 5-10 to the park depending on how quickly you walk. I do it on a regular basis w/ a neighbor who says its about 3 miles although it feels a lot shorter than that.
Polemicist-
It was originally built as a single family. You need to see it in person, the exterior photos don’t really do it justice.
Was the Crown Heights building originally intended to be a single-family dwelling?
There is something about it that just screams “apartment building” to me, and it isn’t just the fact it has been gutted into a 3-flat.
Assuming $1,800 a month in rent and 20% expenses, it seems overpriced by at least $200,000.
FatLenny, I really don’t see Berkeley Place’s price being too far off. I would be very surprised to see it go for less than $1.85MM (feel free to quote me in the Open House Six Months Later thread in March 2009). 🙂
Any guesses on what the rather narrow Berkeley place will fetch?
Yeah, the place on Warren needs EVERYTHING!
Montrose, how long a walk is it from there to the BBG and Prospect Park?
I’m usually at odds with those who say Victorian Flatbush houses are ridiculously overpriced. However, in this case, it’s true. This house needs to be completely rebuilt and updated, no to mention the fact that it backs on to the railroad tracks. It isn’t huge (plus or minus, depending on the buyer. It does have a small amount of salvageable detail and it is a stone’s throw from PPS. I think $550k would be a more realistic price.
