Whatever price they get, they need a new broker. That house dates from the 1880s I believe and the "METS" vs "NETS" typo, if that's what it is, is pretty bad.

Also, I agree that we need interior shots.

As far as being "in the vicinity" of the proposed NETS arena, I guess that is somewhat correct, though if you walked there from this St. James location it would take you the better part of 30 minutes to get to the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic. You could take the subway or a bus I guess which would be much faster (C train one stop or a bus down atlantic ave).

The property shark dates are estimate and often incorrect. My place is listed as 1899 but actually was built in 1862.

I agree. It is a funny selling point considering the distance from the proposed arena. If you were for the arena plans, it's not like it is that close. A very long walk or a subway ride...

I wouldn't let the random recent incident scare you Blabber. Cl. Hill is much better than years ago from a crime perspective. I do think this is on the high side for a narrow place, especially with the large condo construction about to begin behind it on Washington Ave.

Arena parking won't be an issue here, it is too far. The arena is at Atlantic and Flatbush, not at Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is the beginning of the future condos/office towers and is four blocks away. Another half mile or so down Atlantic is where the arena will be.

I do think this is a high price though because of the narrow width of the house. Wide well maintained houses on the much nicer Lefferts place blocks (between St. James and Grand, and between Grand and Classon) fetch in the 1.5m area. So to ask this much for a narrow place (albeit 5 stories) is probably pushing it.

I think it is really just a question of whether or not the claim is true. Some houses on my block in Clinton hill have what some neighbors have called "vaults" in front of the normal front hatch in their front gardens. Most have been sealed up so that all you have is a regular hatch with a ladder (a roughly 4 by 4 foot square opening at the front of the house to the basement). I haven't heard anyone claiming the larger openings that have been closed up were hiding places for escaped slaves, rather they thought they were old storage areas for coal.

As for the central AC, knock 100K off the price for the cost and headache of installing a top of the line, zoned, hvac system, the kind without the wall units...

I agree re the noise, though to characterize the block as having many grimy buildings in disrepair seems to be going a bit overboard imo. Maybe then end near Myrtle, but overall it is a nice block...though I would prefer a quieter one...

Is this you're back yard? If so, put up a fence and lock it. They will have to get your permission to enter. Unless you bought your house with an easment in place (i.e. a right of way for Verizon) they do not have right to enter your property without permission. When you bought the place, I'm sure they would have done a title search to see if there were any easements/rights of way granted to anyone such as Verizon. I not, then the agreement was with the previous owner. If it was not assigned to you, then Verizon can get stuffed. The key will be to make it impossible for them to enter without contacting you.

Also, don't call 311, call the police. It is potentially trespassing (subject to my previous post regarding any existing easements in favor of Verizon), not a quality of life concern.
