As Clinton Hill Blog noted last week, the shell of a house at 437 Waverly Avenue is coming up for auction on Thursday. The house has become part of local lore, as it’s sat vacant for the last decade. The same family lived there for 80 years before that but they never recorded the deed which is why it’s been unable to be sold for so long; the ownership issues are now sorted out and the elderly daughter of the original owners will receive the proceeds. From what we gather, a recent engineer’s report says that the building is structurally stable and that the front wall is in good shape as are most of the beams; however the roof and back wall need repairs. Bidding is expected to start around $450,000 but anything is possible. The auction takes place this Thursday at 2:30 pm in State Supreme Court, Part 76G, Room 575. It is an “as is” sale with no contingencies; the closing will be within 30 days.

broker gave me a professional F-off response when I suggested 300k
you could build a floating staircase up to the bedroom.
landmarked?
I think the x in a box means the interior is at least partially collapsed or unsafe. Maybe no floors or maybe no stairs in btw floors or maybe a large hole in a floor. And I think the put that mark near the safest point of entry for a such a building. But I dont’ know this for sure
So, it’s loft-style living… awesome. I’m game. (Actually, imagine if you lived in a brownstone like this that had a “great room” that went up all 3 floors in the front — that would be pretty awesome if you ask me!)
What a great looking row of houses
I also believe that “X” in the box put there by the fire dept means there are no floors.
Oh – did I mention I will contribute $500 to your gift to me? Seems fair, no?
is 450 the upset price? because that’s too high
