There are several ugly landmarked mid-century ranches in PPS. One has recently been turned into an even uglier, abandoned, unfinished McMansion (Albemarle).
I would be wary of buying a house across from a school yard. Some BSW residents who live across from 139 complain incessantly about the noise, loitering, etc…
Still, cannot believe someone paid over $750 for that ugly Rugby Ranch.
“…there will still be some around for future generations to landmark as intact examples of mid-20th century vernacular domestic architecture.” (Sparafucile)
That was funny, but the ugly Rugby ranch already IS landmarked.
I can’t speak for Sparafucile, but I am a big fan of “mid-20th century vernacular domestic architecture” and I still think the Rugby Road house is fugly.
Is the Rugby Road sale an April Fool’s joke?
“I’m heartened to see there’s a market for high ranches in Brooklyn. This way there will still be some around for future generations to landmark as intact examples of mid-20th century vernacular domestic architecture.” (Sparafucile)
This made me laugh. Thank you.
I don’t even know if you are serious or not, but it’s funny either way.
I’d take the nice house across from the schoolyard that’s not in Prospect Park South over 190 Rugby, which I think is the 2nd least desirable house in PPS. The winner on that score would be the aborted house on Albemarle on 1/3 of a lot

Nice job on the Kensington FSBO! Good for them.
How did 180 Rugby Road sell for $1.1 million if indeed the back of it was “eaten away by termites” as posters said when it was last featured on here? Shouldn’t there be a nice discount for “eaten away by termites”?
Didn’t Awaye take it after Corcoran couldn’t sell it? Maybe that is where “Awaye” gets its name.
Really nice house.
Across from the schoolyard.
Not Prospect Park South, however.
