House of the Day: 81 Willoughby Avenue

Except for the new wood floors on the parlor floor, this two-family house at 81 Willoughby Avenue looks chock full of old-timey goodness along with the right touches of modernization. The corner house also has an unusually large front yard for Fort Greene as well as a side yard and side exposure. It’s also got what feels like an expected price tag at this point of $2,250,000.

81 Willoughby Avenue [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
I visited the property during its open house yesterday, and I have to tell you…Corcoran has exceptional photographers because not only is the space FAR smaller than it looks in the photographs, but it’s gotta be overpriced by at LEAST 500k. As soon as we walked in, the realtor said “Just so you know, guys, the property is sold as is, the garage is not structurally sound and the roof needs work.” The kitchens are orchestrated poorly, the basement is disgusting, there is literally NO backyard space (it’s literally just enough space for your dog to go potty…which isn’t what the ad sounds like), almost 5,000 as ft and only 4 real bedrooms? It was seriously the most hilarious “renovation” I’ve ever seen in my life
Yucky bevel-edged floors. They look so click-together. I’m never sure why people go for these.
