Re Adelphi, a prison cell, LOL. Would love to see prison cells done in Water Works, now that would be an interesting use of tax payers money. BTW, I liked the half bath.
Saw 17 Howard two weeks ago. The house has a lot of original detail, is in good shape, has a charming bathroom with large skylight, a very small garden, and needs updating in general, particularly the kitchen. I think $100K would cover an update.
Also, there is a potential for a small terrace above the first floor kitchen.
The location is also excellent and the block has little traffic and is quite charming.
I would count this property in the top quartile of single families in W.T. and can only hope that the market correction continues (quickly) so that I can afford it.
No, Howard is not the priciest block in WT–Sherman and Fuller, probably are. Howard fronts Holy Name school and its schoolyard, and is also a main thoroughfare for Bishop Ford kids (who, like all children, generate a lot of noise and litter), is directly over the subway (which you can feel in the houses), and gets a lot of foot and car traffic because of the subway stop. Unlike Fuller, many of the houses are in deteriorated condition. Good luck to the seller in any case.
I saw the Howard Street house about 1 1/2 months ago, at least. The house itself needs updating. And the basement is kinda unusable for anything else other than storage and laundry. It had a small backyard too. The thing that concerned us the most was the roof/ceilings. Looked like some leaks got the best of that house. Lovely row of house but they face a large blank structure.
1:18, thank you for the correction on my ‘best buy’ comment. I assumed this was the case, glad that was cleared up before I got into trouble. Anyhow, would a home on howard go for that price in good condition?
Btw, I bet Howard (and Fuller) are the priciest streets on a square-foot basis in Windsor Terrace.
My goodness, just noticed that 351 Adelphi was purchased back in June (of this year) for $1.4million. By the looks of things I doubt that the current seller has put that much money into the place to justify a 35% increase. Not to mention the “quality” of the finishes.
1:14 — I’ve never thought Brownstoner’s Open House Picks were meant to be endorsements or “best buy” labels, just an interesting sample of the market.
I looked at the Fourth Place house a few weeks ago. There are no pictures of the garden and parlour floors because they are a disgusting mess. And there is no back garden – it was sold to plumbing business next door. This place needs a lot of reno, but its perfect for investment/rental. Hard to find property in a garden block for that price anymore.
