Brooklyn is known for its amazing brownstones and tree lined blocks and now more recently large buildings with overly expensive condos but somewhere in Brooklyn there is a Japanese style home.

Just south of Prospect Park in Flatbush-Ditmas Park there’s a house that was built in 1903 and is currently valued at over $1 million dollars. The house was originally part of a project to draw more people into that neighborhood although there are many rumors that it was built for a Japanese ambassador. Imagine that!

The house located on 131 Buckingham Road cost $26,000 to build, and the property’s current owner, Fischer, and her husband bought it for $86,000 back in 1972. Pretty much a steal from what it is worth now.


Want to check out this fab home, Fischer offers 1-hour public tours for just $15. For information, send her an email at 131tour@gmail.com.

The home is now an historic landmark. I mean it should be!
