There may be nothing like a big OLD victorian, but there is nothing old about this one but the framing. Looks like a suburban development house–without the land.
I quite like the home on Rugby Road. The house itself is beautiful, and there\’s nothing quite like the feel of a big ole\’ Victorian. Then there\’s Rugby Road…a really nice street, and I\’m not just saying that. I\’m moving there on Wednesday!
RE East 21st street– what are those apartment buildings across the sreet like?
Rugby Road house is nicely done reno from fire. My only regret is the choice that the contractor made on the windows- bad fake divided lights. Looks sorta cheap. Odd considering that most of the houses in Vic. Flatbush don’t have divided light windows. Anyway, the systems are all brand new, including heat and central air. It’s on the corner at Rugby at Ditmas- DItmas can be sort of trafficky. 1.9 is asking alot, goes without saying- Crouchback, I think you will find most prices are still in the range you quote. My guess is the builder is maxing it out because of all new everything- as if that’s a good enough reason.
East 21st street is definitely intriguing. Albemarle-Kenmore is a little bit detached from the rest of Vic. Flatbush, but the block is nice and the house looks good as well. Those places don’t come on the market that frequently.
The house on E 21 St’s violation is for an illegal driveway that’s actually across the street. It should be easy to clear up.
I agree. The highest price I was aware of was 1.4 and this house, while “like new,” lost all of its moldings and details. Asking 1.9 is Crazy Talk!
I too am taken aback by the 1.9M asking for the Ditmas house. Price’s were hovering in the 1 to 1.3M range when I was looking in September 2005. What happened?
The house on 21st is not the house with the large fire. Large fire was in Mary Kay’s listing. Victorian Flatbush’s listing has the violation
You guys are confusing me between the victorian and the house listed above as Victorian Flatbush! The “victorian” which had the fire is on Rugby Road. Looks nice, but a bit Home Depot in the kitchen. When did these houses get so over-priced? 1.9 strikes me as absurd for the area. And this one isn’t even large–only 3,300 square feet.
The Madison Street house looks totally unappealing–tacky fake flooring and a poor sheetrock renovation. For 850,000? Again, that seems absurd.
12:37: The 21st street house is similar to a row of houses on Rutland road. The one you refer to is on the corner of Rutland and Bedford. One of the houses in the row has been sitting on the market since las summer I think at 950,000 (BHS) and another in a similar row on Rutland recently sold for 830,000.
