My Life In Brooklyn

Last week I made mention of 162 Woodruff, which is available via eBay real estate, opening bid is 1.4 million.

Anyway, today I finally managed to walk by the place, and it really is, from the looks on the exterior at least, not in bad condition per se, but not so great either. 

I am posting a grab shot, below.  Almost across the street, on the north side is 177 and that is is much worse considtion, plywood in windows and doors.  It is 177 I remember looking up on Property Shark and I believe it is an SRO.

Anyway, this particular block on Woodruff runs between Flatbush and E. 21st Street (on the south side; north side runs between Fatbush and Ocean Ave).  It is relatively small, and not all that charming, though it isn’t too far far some really nice blocks, as I mentioned in the prior post.  So, with some TLC and money, I think the block could have potential.  However, not sure I would want to live there right now.
