Brownstoner covered these beauties for their historical value, but Platinum Members swooped in months ago when one of these hefty buildings at 472-474 Lafayette Avenue was for sale and barely marketed. When we heard they wanted $1.6M and could deliver vacant on a 25' x 65' 8-Family building on the Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill border, even with the projects nearby, we had to take a look. Good thing the outside is so charming because there's not too much to see inside...
It's not everyday you get an 8-Family that can be delivered vacant. And the discount is even steeper if you take on a tenant or two. Platinum Members are spying one of the next-best 6-Fam's in Bed-Stuy around this price range, also can be delivered vacant, or with tenants at market rent - on an even bigger flooplate than this. Best of both worlds? Yes, please!
Pro's: curb appeal, deliverable vacant, healthy floorplate, high ceilings, has Pratt rental written all over it
Con's: funky layout, lots of work to be done, not everyone wants a fixer-upper around $1.5M
Ideally: a nice buy & hold look for the right price, and they got a pretty fair price
474 Lafayette closed for $1.4M
