BoogieDowner profiled this property back in late July when it was listed at $379K. We thought it was a nice value in a stable hood back then...so it's an even better deal now.
This is in the southeastern quadrant of Woodlawn and the li
sting describes it as a fixer-upper, but from the pics it does not look like a traditional Bronx flophouse that is uninhabitable while you do the work. The listing does not mention the number of bathrooms, but you have to believe there's a least one in there, right? Right?Here's the Woodlawn spiel (again) for the uninitiated:
Woodlawn is a very unique neighborhood in the
Bronx. It is an Irish enclave that has enough bars and pubs to make even Galway jealous. Our favorites are Rory Dolan's (technically in Yonkers) on McLean Avenue and the Rambling House on Katonah Ave (funny story about the Rambling House and my daughter's baptism, but that's one to be told over a pint). The shepherd's pie and other Irish specialties are can't misses.The people in Woodlawn are super-friendly (hey, a lot of them are happy drunks, I guess). Obviously St. Patty's Day is not to missed up here. 
You'd have some shopping up and down Katonah and McLean Avenues.
From this side of the hood you'd be able to access easily the Woodlawn Metro-North stop for a quick commute to Manhattan. Otherwise, it's a bus to the 4 train on the other side of the cemetery.
