trudylou, $2800 for half a brownstone 2 blocks from Fort Greene Park is realistic. I have a friend who is paying $3000 for a 2-bedroom garden duplex on Vanderbilt, and her yard is not nearly as attractive as this one. Check out the pics on http://www.180Adelphi.com, the FSBO website. The more I see of this property, the more I like it. This assumes that the garden apt is as nice as the rooms in the photos. Hard to tell if any of the photos are from the lower apartment. . . .
Could the Adelphi house really get $2800 a month for a garden rental?
That Midwood listing comes up as “West Midwood Community Association” in Google, which is interesting. The house looks like it has potential but the price is insane for “needs TLC” almost all the way down by Avenue H. The other Argyle Road listing on MKG is indeed much nicer but has been for sale for at least six months. Although perhaps Architerrorist is right and it’s the sellers who aren’t in tune with reality.
The BedStuy house looks great inside, but with the yard and location, the price is a stretch. No surprise from Corcoran.
The price on the Adelphi property is good if it really doesn’t need any work. It may not based on the NYTimes photos and what appears to be a FSBO website. http://realestate.nytimes.com/sales/detail/253-NS90414875/180-Adelphi-Street-Brooklyn-NY-11205.
The Midwood property is going to go for less. Nearly a million and you are expected to give up the “TLC” . . . in Midwood?!
the bed-stuy house is way over priced. adam – several homes in bed-stuy have sold for 1M, like DIBS pointed out.
read the article, looked at the slide show – what the hell does a photo of MacDonough btw lewis & stuy have to do with this house which is miles away!?
Yeah I am not feeling that Argyle Road house, especially when the same broker has this much nicer one across the street at an asking price just 6% higher.

Per the NY Times article, the Bed Stuy house was purchased for 376K in 2004 and they renovated with another 300K — so they’re looking to make a 573K profit?! Seems way out of line with the current economy.
Nice PR article for Bed Stuy, a nabe we are considering.
I would take yesterday’s HOTD over any of these in a millisecond.
It’s amazing they were able to preserve as much detail as they did. Check out the NYT slideshow of the before photos — the place was a complete wreck. Sounds like they bought it sight unseen at auction. Then they had to convert from SRO.
