i like the house on Crown Street – very cute. don’t know about that side of the hood but looks to be close to prospect park & the library, which is cool.
The Bergen St. place was a house of the day recently, it got abused mercilessly.
I like it as I know the block (quite well), am not a large brood, and like low stoops. It’s definitely a respectable house. No commenting on the price as that it totally above my head.
I only know from the front, never actually went to the property. We did a street view to check out the block…because it seemed like a decent deal for such a TALLLLL and nicely renovated house. So we were going to visit.
Which led me to question “which effin house on this block (we are not fans of Bergen on most sections) could possibly be that magestic, 3-story home with a lovely high stoop…
Answer is none. It’s a squat looking thing w/ a dismal stoop and a garden windo basically at alley level.
You just have to see for yourself, and then try to hold back the general disdain for RE brokers you will feel upon conclusion.
MforN, is it not the one with that teeny tiny triangled wedge of a garden, that backs up to the building ON Flatbush?
The Bay Ridge house is surprisingly small for the neighborhood. And the square footage looks way off. I know prop shark as well as Corcoran are claiming 2,604 sq ft but it looks closer to 2,000 to me, and you only get there by including the basement.
Looks more like a $750K-$800K place to me.

My wife and I were looking at the 449 Bergen listing last weekend. Love the interior.
However, on close inspection, Elliman did a SPECTACULAR job on the perspective distort on the building facade. Looks magnificent! I’d even say bright and cheery!
Now go to a street view in Goodle Maps and try and figure out which one it really is. Boooo…Hissss!!!!!
“the Prospect Avenue property *almost* looked like it was appropriately priced”
But, tybur, you’ll like die from inhaling exhaust fumes, if a car landing in your living room doesn’t get you first.
And I say $5000 in income specifically because this isn’t a “beautiful house that you pay a premium for, which happens to have a rental unit to help out.” This is an investment/business/commercial property.
