Washington Avenue: Blue Stone and Yellow House
With all the talk of bluestone on the site this week, we thought we’d share this photo we took last weekend on Washington Avenue between Dekalb and Willoughy of some serious chunks of the stuff.

With all the talk of bluestone on the site this week, we thought we’d share this photo we took last weekend on Washington Avenue between Dekalb and Willoughy of some serious chunks of the stuff. We’re wondering what plans the building has for these pieces. A block closer to the BQE, we stopped in at the Open House for this old wood frame house that is very chopped up and needs a ton of work; the exterior has some charming details though. Seems like a bit of a stretch at $1,199,000 given all the work that’s needed. Good location though. Anyone know what the garden is like?

because of the location, it will not likely go for under 1 million, even though it sounds like it will need substantial work. It is interesting to see these frame houses are going for significantly cheaper prices than brick or brownstone houses in the same vicinity. It is likely a reflection of the large amount of work and structural issues a 150 year old frame house that has been neglected would have.
Actually the house next door is priced at $1,265 (down from $1,395 earlier this spring). It’s a cute house. Is this a good price for this area of Clinton Hill? It’s also an extremely old house, like 1850s….or maybe earlier.
That bluestone has been there for at least 4 years!
The yellow house was listed and sold last Fall for about 1,000,000. It was a mess then too. How could a 200,000 flip be justified?
On the other hand, Aguayo & Huebener has the brown and blue frame house next door which is in great condition listed for 1,162,000. That’s more like it.
the only thing making it worth any money is the fact that it’s on washington. otherwise it’s a complete and total bust. someone ruined the house with a horrible “renovation”. as a structure it’s worth about 500,000 tops but the location confuses pricing.
we looked at this house when the asking price was 675k, major structual damage, among other things. that was about 3 yrs ago and i’m sure it is in much worse shape today. backyard needs lots of help along with the house.house next door for sale is nice but then it shares a party wall with the one that needs help (though kitchen is dark)
so how low would a good bid be on this property? 600 or 700K?
a wise decision to invest now is what she said and it does seem a bit ackward. doesn’t sound too sharp for a “senior” person
her last line in ad about “buying now” isn’t that smooth, you call that senior associate broker?
Looks awful. And what the hell does a ‘senior associate broker’ mean?
