403 Grove is a cute little white brick house just off Wyckoff Avenue in what some people still seem to call Wyckoff Heights, after a short-lived attempt in the 80s to “hold the line” against Bushwick’s decay. Either it worked, or there never was much danger — these streets to this day are still mostly well-kept and attractive. Not that you can tell from this Google street view image I yoinked, which is actually better than the nasty one taken by the agent. The interior photos make it seem like the same old lady has lived there for 30 years — which is not a bad thing. It looks like there are a few old details here and there, including beams in the dining room. This could be moved right into with some minor cosmetic work. It’s on a convenient stretch of Wyckoff for buying basics, and some food up on Myrtle, not to mention the Myrtle-Wyckoff L-M hub a couple of short blocks away.
