House of the Day: 141 Quincy Street
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is…
This 1890 house at 141 Quincy Street in Bedford Stuyvesant is a charmer, to be sure. In fact, the renovated kitchen is the only real downer about the two-family (configured as one) house. The porch, plaster moldings, pier mirrors, etc. are all very impressive. As the listing takes pains to point out, the house is also pretty close (a block and a half, actually) to the Clinton Hill border. Given all this, and the fact that you could move right in, the asking price of $795,000 seems pretty reasonable to us. We bet it goes for within 5 percent of that number.

“italian sucker”
A metaphor growns in Brooklyn RE.
***Bid half off peak comps***
“Couples making 200k ARE moving here.”
not any more. They cannot afford elsewhere.
“100K each is really not batshit crazy money in NYC. ”
which nyc are you talking about?
17′ plus X under 35′. Smallish. And a loooooooong block and a half from the border. And all I see is carpet and tile (indicative of what lies beneath). Looks nice but comps for this puppy bottom at no more than $400K (they want double). An appraisal thread for this one may end up in the forum. REDLINE REDLINE REDLINE…(values take a slight dip between prime BS and prime CH, no?).
But then again, Minsky’s got it!
***Bid half off peak comps***
Couples making 200k ARE moving here.
Hate to break it to you, bklplebe but the NYTimes is not on the cutting edge of real estate news in NYC.
I can absolutely see a couple making 200K move here. 100K each is really not batshit crazy money in NYC.
House looks very nice. Agree the kitchen is unfortunate, and I’d want to see what’s under all that wall-to-wall carpeting.
House is nice but the price is unreasonable. It is unreasonable to believe that a couple making $200K will move in here. Given the median of the neighborhood it would be a gentrifying step if a couple making 120K moves in here. This puts the price at $500K. Unless they find an italian sucker. Italian suckers are hard to find though, when one comes up NYT runs an article.
Ditto to all above. It has the bones I love…
Goodness, this house is perfect. Agreed, price is very reasonable.
