The broker for the Sunset Park property in my experience is rude.
I live on the same block as the Sunset Park house. We have been here since 2000 and the block is quite safe. This is mostly a Mexican neiborhood and is very lively but not particularly noisy. I’d say there is a party in someone’s backyard about once in 2-3 months and normally they shut down before 1 AM. The park is very quiet except for the rare occasions when the city has a concert there – perhaps 5 times in the last 6 years??
Nice block and very convenient to the fabulous shopping in Chinatown.
The house seems mechanically sound, but I hate the painted brownstone on the ground floor, and both entrance doors need replacing.
I’d say a max of 1.35 for the midwood 4 story and probably 1.25 for the Rutland and Bedford house. Only one house has ever sold in PLG for 1.4 and it was a far superior renovation (central AC, high-end limestone kitchen and baths, all new mechanicals, etc.). These houses are not as “mint” as that one. I’m sure the new Maple street listing will sell in the 9’s, but I’d bet low 900’s, not 975. Yes, thngs are selling, but they are taking awhile and going for under asking. No one wants to set records on a finge area in this market.
Thanks for that bit of info, Dan. I couldn’t tell from the pictures that there was plexiglass up there. That certainly makes it safer.
Dan, you and Bob are real PLG superstars. If I can find a home there, I will be sure to hook up with you both!!
Re: shooting Sat night…as per 71st Precinct: “the incident was drug-related. The boyfriend (being questioned) has a checkered past, and is a drug dealer; allegedly. The thieves were looking for money from the boyfriend. When they didn’t get the amount they were seeking, they shot the girlfriend. The investigation continues.”
The Lefferts Manor Assn communicates often and diligently with the 71st Precinct to a) inform the community properly and squash rumors, and b) partners with Precinct on crime and quality of life issues. When there’s a crime, prior to it being reported in the media, Community Affairs officers from the Precinct call select members of the Lefferts Manor Assn. immediately. Yes, PLG has crime. It’s almost 100% thug on thug. The trajectory is positive, as it relates to crime reductions in all categories. But still, any news of a fatal chilling, even on a fringe block, is chilling.
Well, I agree with you about the Rutland house being on the corner. Having two parlor floor entrances takes away space, as well. The thing is, there is no Wow room in that house (saving the dining room). The other Rutland Road house is having trouble finding a buyer, I believe, because they opened up the Parlor floor ceiling. Any parent who walks in there is going to imagine their child plummeting to their death from the upper level. It was the first thing I thought of. So, I don’t think you can compare these houses with the Midwood one.
If 38 Rutland just dropped by $150G and does indeed sell around that, then your number for Midwood would make sense. I would argue that the big house on Rutland is having hard time because it’s on the corner at Bedford. Those rooms looked pretty generous to me! Beautiful house…
Yes, 178 Maple has sold. The new owners have already moved in. I was hoping there was another one on the market. All the two story houses on Maple have sold in the 900’s. So, I’m fiquring the 4 story on Midwood should go for about 1.4 million. There may be some out there that don’t think it’s worth that much, (anon. 4:34) but these houses are, indeed selling (even in this market). Rutland Road is having a hard time because the rooms are not as generous as a 25 ft. wide house should be. Midwood has had several offers already, but the owners are holding out for close to ask.
