West Midwood, is part of Flatbush – Victorian Flatbush – not Midwood. South Midwood and Midwood Park are also part of Victorian Flatbush, and not Midwood proper. Different neighborhoods, different pros, differnt cons, entirely different vibes.
I know that a few houses went for over 1 million in Bed Stuy. They all were in top condition and were full size with tons of detail inside and outside. I’m saying that this isn’t one of the them humpback or not.
I also know that Babs left corcoran. I was making a comment on corcoran pricing and her purchase of a brownstone for over 1 million just as the market turned. It was my attmept on being snarky, I guess I’ll just stick to make comments about mortgages. 🙂
I’m afraid there’s some kind of misunderstanding on the Lex listing (love the pimped out MC Hammer renovation though). Homes are worth 3X income, not 3X peak comps. Well, there is a feature that would make it go for well over ask…
…mount-on-wheels.
Whew! Juuuust accessible to the G Train. That was close.
“Where is Brooklyn’s Lexington Avenue? I never heard of it.”
ROTFLMMFAO! Nothing like the Manhattan version. Well, maybe way uptown.
***Bid half off peak comps***
Yuck. Midwood is an old rundown money pit that should be 200K tops, the 2 family in Bayridge looks an awful lot like Trenton, or southern NJ houses for 1/10 the price. The Bedsuty houses – Nutso pricing. We need a good Vegas or Miami style cleansing so people who make a normal living can afford a house.
Just to be clear: this is a FOUR story brownstone, as noted in the first sentence of the description. The fourth floor is a humpback, hidden from the street, but very much real in the house, containing a large bedroom and spectacular bath with soaking tub. And some would even assert this property is in Clinton Hill, admittedly a stretch, but we all know it’s only a matter of time……
The FG brownstone looks like a great investment property. You basically get two vacant rentable duplex apartments for just over $600K each. LostinBedStuy is right that you could get $3000/month on this block for a 2 bedroom plus attractive garden–or a 3 bedroom. If you live in one and rent the other, you would come out even better. This is a very attractive property.
It will be interesting to see if other properties entering the market this season start to lower prices to this level.
That is a very high price for Bed-Stuy… You know back in the day a L train ran along Lexington I wish there still was a train line in that area. The Corcoran house that went for over a million is in The Stuyvesant Heights Landmarked district on the other side of town from this house. It seems like Northern Bed-Stuy has its own vibe and seems more like Williamsburg 1999.
I like that area of Bed Stuy, but, uh geez, that’s a lot.
After reading the article, I too am worried about the couple breaking up. And the dogs. If they did, what happens to the dogs? Will no one think of them?
i have no idea about the price – i guess it depends on how it’s set up and whether it feels small or not – but i like 180 adelphi too. decent light, move-in condition (not luxury, but perfectly nice) and sweet garden is a pretty tempting package.
