“There are some issues with the hancock St C of O.”
Not surprising. The listing says it’s a two-family, but they’ve got two studio apartments on the ground floor.
Dave, what’s that part of Bed-Stuy like?
There are some issues with the hancock St C of O.
The Hoyt st. house is nice but it seems they’ve only lowered their price just 50K in the last year. I guess they’re in no rush to sell.
I love that Hancock house. I mean, I hate it but that’s all the house in the city that I really want to fix up and live in. This is why price per square foot is meaningless to me. The first 1200-1500 sq feet are worth a lot of money, the next 1000 are worth some money, and after that, it’s worth next to nothing to me. “It’s only three stories” is a phrase you’ll never hear me say.
That Clermont Avenue house AGAIN! If that goes for that money I am doing a Mexican hat dance down Clermont Avenue. It has a wierd lot shape and it has “Heinous Bricks” — brick brand combo of red and grey. Looks like crap.
“full bath on the 2nd floor – not a dealbreak but not ideal either if you have guest who can’t navigate the stairs.” (ebklyn)
Yes, tho I don’t have problems with stairs yet, these very narrow houses also usually have narrow stairs that just feel too tight. I bet it’s a nice house for the size, but these places were built as bare minimum housing for labors and there’s only so much you can do about that.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what the ask would have been on the Hoyt Street house back in 2007? At 20′ wide and 35′ deep (ex walls etc), I calculate 700 square feet per level and there are four levels so 2,800 sq ft in total. That works out to $750/sq foot. Were these houses really asking $1,000/sq ft back in 2007?
for the PS house – i question the renovation. does not look like a great HVAC system – see old radiator and A/C window unit, so I’d ask if the walls were really opened up and everything done up new. or, are we talking about new appliances and a bright paint job? if so, then, this really isn’t a condo alternative to people who want to walk in to a all “brand new” situation if the electric and HVAC are not new or updated.
with that said, i think the price is fine.
“I love the 15th Street house….
until I see that it’s 12′ wide.” (chuck)
Yes. Very hard to make a 12′ wide house feel ok. Plus, width length ratio becomes difficult. Maybe it’s a center staircase, at least, judging from the orange photo?
