3421 Snyder Ave (corner of E 35th), massive 100x100 lot, sells

The sale recorded a few weeks ago, having sold to Hart Dekalb LLC for $1.3 million. A steal considering the massive size of the lot--100x100, abbutting a prewar apt building on an identically sized lot. 

I always liked this house because it's got a super classic haunted house vibe. But i figured given the huge size of the lawn it was only a matter of time:

 

interestingly enough, part of the sale included a 20x100 lot to the north of it which looks like part of the BBL of the house, but actually is distinct. So really, they got a 100'x120' lot! I imagine the zoning is permissive.

I like how the satellite antenna is perfectly centered. Yes, that was a steal for $1.3M.

After a $200k (?) demolition, they will have a clean lot.

Huh. It's only zoned for R5. FAR of 1.25, so that would be about 15,000 sq ft and 20 units. Maybe 8 floors? Nowhere near as massive as if it was r6 or r7 like much of Flatbush to the west of here!

Oh actually R5 has a height restriction too, only 40 feet. 4 stories. 

So, space for parking and little yards.

  ....people pay good money for such things.

Or...five 3 family attached houses could be built on that lot and the developer would probably make more money and be done with it.

Yup, I'm thinking row houses.    That is how they coped with similar restrictions at this site on Underhill and Pacific:

How closely do they actually follow the height restriction? I feel like I've seen a lot of buildings in R5 areas that clearly flaunt that rule. 

And fwiw I've seen that antennae in action before; they work really well to beam messages to zoltron.

according to my partner who went for a run sans phone this morning, the house is completely gone! not sure when that happened exactly.

Zoltron works quickly and quietly.

Hmmm, I was by there around Aug 4 so must have been after that. Didn't even see a green shed yet.
