house
Today’s HOTD is the most table-pounding buy we’ve seen in a long, long time and we bet that, slumping market be damned, this will be gone within a week. The two-family Greek Revival woodframe house has been carefully maintained by the same owner for the last twelve years and sports a sweet front porch and back yard. The place has plenty of original architectural charm, though we’ll admit that the kitchen and bathroom aren’t anything to crow about. The location on Adelphi just off Lafayette is prime Fort Greene, just a couple of blocks from the park and the majority of the best restaurants in the nabe. Honestly, except for the aforementioned lackluster kitchen and bathroom and perhaps the slightly shallow lot of 75 feet, we’re surprised this isn’t priced at least $200,000 higher. If we were in the market right now, we’d be all over this.

  1. We went to the open house as well and since have been going back and forth about what we think the percentage breakdown of the two apartments would be as well…Anyone else have an opinion on what would be fair? Certainly, one could be creative with ownership of the garden and cellar, for example, no?

  2. Just checked out the open house today. The realtors bill it as a good deal for two families. If you were buying this with your best friend, or at least someone you liked, what are you going to do, flip a coin for who lives in basement and parlor floor? That’s a natural born rental. It’s the top two floors that you’d really want to “own.” I guess if you split the bill 70% for upstairs and 30% for downstairs, it might work. I dno’t get that scenario othewise. Very upstairs/downstairs.

  3. Lovely, but buyers need to consider that this home, in the Fort Greene historic district, will be in the shadow of Bruce Ratner’s new megalopolis. Literally. The draft environmental impact statement says, in fact, that for the month of December this address will be in shadow all month. If you haven’t checked out this document you should.
