December 18, 2008
Just a reminder that our house is still available and we’ve gut renovated the bathrooms, finished the basement, spruced up the kitchen cabinets and added a Bosch dishwasher, new garage door and automatic garage door opener! Please see the first post for a more complete description of the house and see below for before and after pictures of the downstairs bathroom. The downstairs bathroom has all new fixtures, including a Toto toilet, and the floor is tiled with Ann Sacks penny round tiles. Enjoy! Please e-mail me at 6816harrow@gmail.com with your phone number if you’d like to see the house. Photos of upstairs bathroom to follow.
*Note that our house is also for sale by broker through Weichert. If you have been in touch with ANY broker regarding this house, you cannot take advantage of the by owner price. Please only e-mail if this is the first time you are seeing this listing.

For Sale by Owner
August 29, 2008
Charming attached brick townhouse for sale by owner for $665,000. The house is located on Harrow Street between 68th and 69th Avenues, blocks away from the 71st/Continental Avenue subway station and the Forest Hills Long Island Railroad station. Stores providing the bare necessities are just down the block on 69th Avenue – wine (The Wine Room), pizza (Lillian Pizzeria) and clean clothes (an organic dry cleaner).
Just the facts…
The house has a beautiful, private front patio and garden. There is a living room, formal dining room, kitchen and half-bath on the first floor, 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor and a semi-finished basement equipped with a washer/dryer and a garage. The house is equipped with a gas furnace, which supplies steam heat. We installed a stainless steel flue in the chimney 3 years ago to increase the efficiency of the furnace. There are 2 skylights on the second floor, one in the bathroom and one in the hallway (currently drywalled up, but easily opened), both of which were replaced and sealed in 2005. The hardwood floors (parquet on the first floor and plank on the second floor) were refinished in 2005. The kitchen and bathrooms are neat, clean, in updated condition and await your customization, if desired. The gas range and refrigerator are about 2 years old and there is a small dishwasher as well.
A Few Notes About Recent Sales and Listings on the Block
If you are a serious buyer, then you probably know that an unrenovated house down the block just sold for $655,000 or so and a renovated house across the street sold for $695,000 or so and the house next door, which was in terrible condition, sold for $570,000 or so. There is currently a house listed down the block with Terrace Realty for $849,000 in renovated condition (scroll down to the listing ”Meticulously Renovated”) which may give you ideas for renovations that can be done. Our house is in updated move-in condition, which explains the price. Because this is by owner, there is no markup to allow for a broker’s commission. We hope you can take advantage of this.
Interested?
If you are buying for yourself and interested, please drop an e-mail to 6816harrow@gmail.com with your phone number. Just to be clear, do not e-mail if you are a broker or sales agent. We are looking for someone who can appreciate the house for what it is and for the potential it has and who can close the purchase quickly.
