140 Lincoln was bought at a city auction and flipped and now flipped again.
Everyone seems to either ignore the 25 foot width of the Rutland Rd house or not particularly value it. The house on Midwood is 20 feet, and I find the difference noteworthy. That said, Midwood 1, as this block is known is perhaps the nicest in the Manor.
Yes, street parking is pretty easy in Lefferts Manor- except at night. That’s the time that I would love to have a garage. poster 8:22’s remark aside, cars do seem to be safe on the street in this nabe, though. Tonight as I passed the Rutland Road house I couldn’t resist looking in. They have built in bookcases, and the place looks very inviting.
Street parking is pretty easy in PLG and the drug dealers all have Range Rovers and Humvees which they park on the street. So a normal car is pretty safe.
Thanks for the info Bob — I knew you’d know the scoop!
I personally saw the house on 140 Lincoln over a year ago before the flipper bought it and was seriously tempted. The original detail was phenomal, but sadly there was a lot of water damage over several years of neglect. The porch and main roof had major holes and a gutter downspouts was disconnected, leading to major water penetration in the brick exterior on the left side of the house. The garage was a mess (completed rotted roof) and the rear section of the house had a major settling problem leading to wall separation that needed more than repointing.
Strangely, a baby grand piano and a lot of water-logged personal belongings were still in the house at the time.
The gorgeous floor had been damaged along with many plaster ceilings. But the oak staircase and book cases and flooring were priceless. It needed $300k+ in updates and repairs in my estimation, but the pictures look like they did a nice job.

Would have bought it if the location had been a tad better, the owner had been less of a jerk (FSBO) and more trustworthy, and I had had more guts.
If it sell for this price, I will be kicking myself about the one that got away.
Re: garage — is street parking that tough in PLG? I guess if your car is nicer than mine the garage is a plus regardless. But value must be proportional to scarcity of parking.
Do love the porch, tho.
but don’t forget that the Rutland Road corner house has a garage! That and the great porch must count for something!
Yes, that row of 4 story houses on Midwood is phenomenal. As I said in my earlier post, I can see paying a small fortune for one of those that was in great shape. The Rutland Road house pales in comparison–I don’t know how BHS priced them the same. The Rutland house doesn’t strike me as anything better than the 4 story on Rutland that Corcoran has for 1.395M (which I also think is overpriced for the area).
