Will 35 78th St. get a reprieve from demolition?
Eye On Real Estate: New construction versus renovation in Bay Ridge
The handsome — but unkempt — house at 35 78th St. is getting a reprieve from demolition. Maybe.
The couple who had planned to tear down the single-family house on the corner of Narrows Avenue and build a new one are selling the property instead.
Last July, the city Buildings Department issued demolition permits for the house and garage. George Georgaklis and his wife Evangela had purchased the house for $1.255 million in 2014, city Finance Department records show.
