As a PS to the prior 1:51 post, I actually think that the other house BHS has for 1.6M is almost worth 1.45 or even 1.5. That is a special house! I still wouldn’t sink that kind of money into the area, but I can see why someone would put up with the area for a house like that. But not for the ones featured here.
I’m not bashing anything or any place, thanks. Just expressing an opinion.
I don’t want to rile up the PLG bashers once again, but my view of the 4 choices above shows the PLG houses to be the most interesting and the best value. My bet is they will sell quickly and for good reason.
I can almost understand spending 900K for a house in Lefferts Manor, since if you really want a house there aren’t too many choices at that price. But at 1.6M (or even 1.2) you have choices. I know the area has many positive attributes, but for that kind of money I wouldn’t make the major compromises needed to living there.
I’ve been visiting the area for the past 7 years and absolutely nothing has changed (except for the prices). If the area showed some signs of “emergence” I might see taking a chance on it, but as is you’d have to be crazy–or be someone who only cared about original details.
I also agree with the previous post that the Rutlan Road house is very underwhelming. At 25X45 it is smaller than a regular 4 story. And Bedford is not a street you want to be on.
I live across the street from the CG house, and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the price. The house is on landmarked President between Smith & Hoyt (yes, it’s been known as an “ideal block” for decades)and needs a total gut reno including complete new roof, new windows, new exterior iron work (which has literally rotted away), new b’stone facade…everything. It appears that the heir to the house (the deceased owner’s sister who lived in a nursing home) has died, and the remaining heirs (nieces and nephews)have now put the house up for sale. Although I’m glad the house is on the market and it will finally be restored to lovely, inhabitable home it can be, I agree with “west,” have fun with this one. The $1.7 million price tag is just the beginning.
Sorry Anon I just realized you were talking about the other one
Anon 12:06 I can understand your other reasons but the details? I happen to think it is gorgeous inside
soory–would NOT buy anything on Bedford.
1.6M in Lefferts Manor? That’s too funny for words. But regardless, this house isn’t all that appealing. The width is nice, but the rooms are all standard size. Details aren’t that great. And I would buy anything on Bedford since it gets horrible traffic in rush hour. And the not only do the cars drive by blaring their stereos, but they get stuck at the traffic light–and you’re entire 1.6M house shakes and rattles.
