Houses of the Day: 1269 and 1271 President Street
It’s unusual to find two houses next door to each other on the market at the same time, but such is the case with this pair of very similar places on President Street at New York Avenue in Crown Heights. The house of the left, Number 1269, is a one-family asking $1.4 million that’s been…
It’s unusual to find two houses next door to each other on the market at the same time, but such is the case with this pair of very similar places on President Street at New York Avenue in Crown Heights. The house of the left, Number 1269, is a one-family asking $1.4 million that’s been recently renovated (but not very nicely); Number 1271, at right, is also a one-family and is asking $1.5 million. According to Property Shark, 1271 is 1,000 square larger, so either it has a rear addition or The Shark has its numbers wrong. (The driveway is not part of the property.) We wonder if this will appeal to a developer looking to condo the whole thing. Anyone been inside either of these?

I agree with CHP. This block stinks. A true dump.
FWIW, original CHP, I knew it wasn’t you as soon as I read the comment.
Crown Heights Proud is no longer posting under that name, due to trollage like above, and mostly due to the troll making even typekey handles suspect. I quit. Even sainted Bob Marvin is now being impersonated, as recently as another thread today. Congratulations to the troll, you won.
People who know me, know I never dis my nabe, I am well aware of the great houses on President Street. Preaching to the choir, my friend, preaching to the choir.

See presidentstreet.blogspot.com to see some other pictures of this awesome block!
This block sucks. I usually describe it as the armpit of Crown Heights.
I’d let this one go…
As to 1271, who will be the purchaser is a good question. The owner tried to quietly market the house to people in the neighborhood and MANY local families have seen it – and ALL have loved it – many put in offers. However, it is going into the general market this weekend (open house on Sunday) and a number of people who have been priced out of the Heights, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, etc. should be ready to pounce!!!…
Just curious, does anyone see the boundary shifting significantly any time soon? Will the Lubavitch community ever shift significantly west closer to Bedford or south past Empire?
The photo on this BS site for 1269 is incorrect. The Front of the home differs from the picture on the original listing at CL. it seems the two are not neighbors.
I was inside the 1271 seems bigger; the place is beautiful it has all the original charm from when it was built. The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms and two original bathrooms. The 2nd floor has an original bathroom, a charming but small living room, a fare sized dining room, and a kitchen with a screened in patio.
First floor looks like it is straight out of a movie.
