dude, that house is terrific. What they don’t mention is taxes, which I would imagine is 40k+.
PLG house is cute! What’s behind it? A warehouse?
Bob, if that house is in the district, I would want to do a lot of research on the pre-designation condition of the exterior, because I see quite a few potential violations (missing railing, windows, entryway). It’s been my experience that the LPC picks out old problems when someone goes to them for a permit for new work, so any buyer could be suddenly looking at spending a lot of money correcting problems they didn’t create.
No pictures of bathrooms, only one kitchen photo, and no floorplan! Listing agent isn’t doing her job.
Hey Bob, there appears to be a place on your block for sale: http://www.warburgrealty.com/property/10003782620110301
$550K always seems more reasonable, but good luck finding it.
It seems like only yesterday that we were thrilled when a house in PLG went for all of $100K; of course Brooklyn Heights houses were going for a good quarter of a million back then 🙂
Am I crazy to think $699K is not reasonable for PLG and unrenovated? I guess maybe… but $550K seems a lot more reasonable to me.
When I moved to Midwood II there were two houses that had the “total Garden State Brickface & Stucco…/Permastone treatment”. One was restored several years ago. There IS hope.
That’s OK, Bob, she didn’t say Lefferts Manor; she said, “Leffert Manor.” I imagine it’s somehwere near Clinton Hills. The people who live on this block are very nice; however, many of the houses have been altered (not this one thankfully) by being clad in what the landmarks designation report calls “unsympathetic” materials – there are at least 2 houses on the other side of the street that were given the total Garden State Brickface & Stucco (am I the only one who remembers those commercials?)/Permastone treatment. Every time I walk by I just wonder what they were thinking. There’s also a house on the other side of the street that we’re tryong to get the LPC to sue the owner for demolition by neglect on – roof fallen in, windows broken, etc. Very sad.
“apparently there’s an effectively limitless supply of really rich people who want to live in Brooklyn”
-isn’t that amazing?
One would think rich people would prefer quieter, leafer environs where their children can frolic on acres of lawn and their BMW’s don’t get keyed by militant bikers.
Go figure.
Why stop at NJ? You could probably buy a whole town in North Dakota for the price of any of these houses 🙂
