That house in PPS sold quickly and it is not even one of my favorite houses.
There have been a few sales in BSW recently that have exceeded the million dollar mark recently. I think this is partially to do with the convenience of the location.
Anonymous at 12:39 p.m. Look at the MKG website. It differentiates the different neighborhoods of Victorian Flatbush. By the way, Property Shark shows that the house on Albemarle listed through Aguayo & Huebener and featured on Brownstoner a few months ago sold for above the asking price of $1.45 million. Zoinks! http://brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2005/10/house_of_the_da_84.html
Ditmas Park is actually a sub-section of Victorian Flatbush, which is comprised of about a dozen contiguous “neighborhood”, all built around the turn of the last century. For some reason, real estate types frequently dub the whole are Ditmas Park, which is inaccurate. Ditmas Park and Prospect Park South are perhaps the two best known Victorian Flatbush Neighborhoods. Beverley Square West is in between PPS and DP, bounded by Beverley and Cortelyou Roads. While the houses in BSW tend to be a bit smaller and not quite as grand as DP and PPS, it is the secion of Victorian Flatbush most conveniently located to up and coming Cortelyou Road – the only real “destination” street in the nabe. By the way, a second restaurant and an upscale children’s boutique are set to open up soon on Cortelyou.
Forgive the ignorance: How is the BSW location not Ditmas PArk. What’s the diff?
Its a little alcove, usually with a door on each side, between bedrooms, although sometimes it is just a little alcove off a bedroom, with a sink and mirror. If it’s period in this neighborhood, it’s going to be marble with a marble countertop. I’ve seen plenty of them and wish we still had ours. Great for washing finger paints and the like off little fingers or rinsing up after a diaper change.
The BSW listing mentions a “shaving closet.” What is that?
If I had a house with seven bedrooms and a storage room (mentioned in MKG’s listing), I don’t think I’d waste a minute converting one of those rooms into a super luxurious master bathroom! Some of the owners of these homes gut the whole attic level into one huge master suite with bath/shower room.

Actually, I disagree with you, anonymous at 12:05 PM. A real family has lived there (with actual children!)previously, and relatively comfortably I might add. It is fairly easy to renovate a wood frame house to accomodate an extra bathroom or extend a half bath. Many of these houses have “storage rooms” in the attic which make wonderful second bathrooms. And who needs an attic storage room when you have a full basement and a garage? I get the feeling you don’t know the area very well and or/have not been in very many Victorian woodframe homes.
