House of the Day: 566 74th Street
This round-front brick at 566 74th Street is looking like a decent deal at the asking price of $749,000. It’s got plenty of original detail (including some very nice floors) and what it lacks in interior square footage it partially makes up for with a 148-foot-deep yard. There’s a court-ordered change in ownership listed on…
This round-front brick at 566 74th Street is looking like a decent deal at the asking price of $749,000. It’s got plenty of original detail (including some very nice floors) and what it lacks in interior square footage it partially makes up for with a 148-foot-deep yard. There’s a court-ordered change in ownership listed on Property Shark from April that’s got us scratching our head. Perhaps it’s somehow related to the fact that this is a relatively low asking price. Anyone know the back-story?

David Bowie’s wife? LMAO!! That was funny, Amy
“By the way, White and Proud in PLG seems to me to be an oxymoron.”
So true 8:56. How can anyone who’s white be proud of that fact?
I know. I was kidding.
I don’t think he was referring to David Bowie’s wife. I think he meant Imam. The leader of prayer. Iman by the way happens to be Muslim. By the way, White and Proud in PLG seems to me to be an oxymoron.
The price seems in line with others in the neighborhood for a house that needs work.
I also believe this house has an extra room added on the back, but given the size of the lot there should still be plenty of yardspace.
Someone won a Pulitzer for writing about David Bowie’s wife?

The reality is 3:35PM believes the Arab community around 69th Street does not make good neighbors, whether this is based 3:35’s experience or pure ignorance is really the question someone should be asking. To suggest that he should rephrase his statement to make people feel comfortable only justifies individuals who scream racism, whenver race is mentioned. Instead, someone should actually question the basis for his conclusion, if it is actually based solely on the fact that arabs live in that area, then it appears to be racist, but without further information, to call him racist (which might be true) is just plain ignorant.
Uh, they don’t want to play nice. They are doing it on purpose. They are not teachable. Ignore them.
C’mon now, 420pm. If you have a problem with the quality of the nabe, the noise, the cleanliness, then say so, and don’t be afraid. But to suggest that such qualities are inherent to any racial/ethnic group is silly and racist. You can instead say the following: “There is the largest Arab community in Brooklyn around 69th and 5th Ave. [Insert description, i.e., “It’s an eclectic mix of crappy houses and not-so-crappy houses. It’s also a bit loud.”] But if you go down to 74th or 75th, it becomes much quieter and nicer.
Play nice!
