☞ DWELL: What's Up with the Hughes House?


We received a couple of inquiries from folks perplexed about the status of the Langston Hughes house at East 127th Street.  It was reported in the papers over a year ago that a bid was accepted for the poets landmark brownstone and the listing was soon removed.  One buyer wrote tin and said that they sent in a couple of bids at the time and was told by the broker that the house has sold only to find out now that this is not the case.  Does anyone have any tips on the situation at hand?  The last asking price was $1 million before it was removed from the market.

  1. I would consider acquiring this asset in the $900,000 range. This area is looking up. Isnt there a crack-pot across the street with posters in his window? What a juxtaposition to this lovely ivy-covered house.

  3. For the record, the owner of the house with posters is a very nice guy.

  4. In all fairness, I do not know they guy. However, I think those posters are strange and I heard he was causing trouble when the house next door was on the market.

    What's the deal with those posters??

  5. Better a crack pot than a crack house as a neighbor, how things have changed.
