Wow–I’m not used to PLG/LM houses being among the the most expensive OHPs.
Rutland I is a really nice block and the house seems to have been nicely renovated. IMO the price wouldn’t have been out of line a short time ago. NOW? Who knows?
Crown Heights house – nice block, house looks good from outside in person, too. I like that type of English Basement house. If you are going to go, better call and make a firm appointment, as per the listing, or I can guarantee the broker won’t be there. He had another house listed in the area, and I went to the open house out of curiosity, and no one was there except me and a couple of disappointed people. SO unprofessional. I called and complained. If for whatever reason you don’t want to do the work, or show up, then tell the seller to find another broker, at least ask someone else in your office to fill in.
St.James house is very pretty. I love that group of houses, the whole block actually. It’s gorgeous in the summer. Wasn’t on of it’s neighbors a HOTD a couple of months ago? Price seems a bit much, I think they are going to have to come back to the land of reality on that one.
I like the block of cookie cutter houses in Kensington, for some reason. It says solid middle class, neighborhood, small town America in a good way. Fourth of July, and kids playing in the street. The Rutland Rd house is also interesting, but price on that one is high, too.
Now I see a little bit better why it’s not selling :p
The basement doesn’t look like it’s 50% above grade…so no to turning that into an apartment.
I’m still baffled by the stairs on the first floor, according to brooklynluv, they’re right in front of the entry; there is that door to nowhere, could the stairs be behind that door?
Okay, to convert to 2-family you either have to give up the first floor (which probably has most of the arch. details) or the 3rd floor (and then you’d need an internal stair between 1st & 2nd stair, unless you want to share the stair with tenant and they can see you running around in your undies)
Large one family is probably best for this house.
So basically you can’t turn the basement into rental unless you go for some really heavy work, you’d need to turn it into a 2 on 2. Yuck.
about the CH house:
The facade looks great in the picture, but it doesn’t look that way in person. A open house was scheduled there and tried to attend, only to get there and broker didn’t show up.
I believe the stairs were right by the front entrance (straight ahead when you come in) – i think the stairs in the rear go to the basement. I am sure you could make it a 2 family, but would obviously need a new kitchen upstairs (and downstairs too). The difficulties in converting it into a 2 turned me off to it.
Hello, anybody…stairs???
It doesn’t make sense where they’re shown on the 1st floor in relationship to the top 2 floors.
Someone that’s been inside, answer please.
New layout will be revealed for the masses.
And the door right opposite the entry by the closet, where does that go?
