Whisper, Whisper: Decatur Is For Lovers (Not Haters)
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much….
When we wrote about 100 Decatur Street last week, we said it would be something of an indicator for the Bedford Stuyvesant market as a whole. If there was any truth to that statement (and, hey, we could have just been full of it) then The Stuy is doing just fine thank you very much. According to a tip we got yesterday, the house has received multiple bids, two of them over the asking price of $899,000. Not too shabby (just like those sweet interiors). Word is, though, that the broker’s considering holding one more open house to see if she can do even better.
UPDATE: Looks like our earlier tip about the number of people at the open house fell short. It was, in fact, 167 detail-hungry gawkers. There were six offers. The broker has decided not to hold another open house and has asked for best offers by Friday at 5 p.m.

“”So much for the doom and gloom, real estate bust.”
Yup. For the next five years, you won’t lose in the brownstone market.”
As dumb a statement as the people predicting total downfall.
I love the beautiful wood, and I’m happy for the seller and the comps for the ‘hood, but I agree with you, NeoGrec–the lower duplex is a great example of how difficult it is to carve up these buildings into apts. I hate garden level bedrooms, but in this case I would prefer to have two bedrooms (more rental $$ too, obviously) and the bath in the garden level, and the kitchen/living/dining on the parlor level. As it is now, there’s only one bedroom, plus you have to carry all your food for every dinner party up a flight of stairs. Careful with that soup, Eugene.
