A Civil War-era wood frame house that has lingered on the market in Fort Greene is finally getting the spruce-up it deserves. The new owners bought the place for a discounted $800,000 from the previous residents of 40 years (who supposedly left "pets and ashes in the yard") and the interior photos show a beautiful but crumbling mess. The question is: how much is this head-to-toe renovation going to cost, and will it bring total cost up to current Fort Greene pricing standards? [Brownstoner]
