Eye On Real Estate
It’s a place that inspires reverence among the real estate-obsessed: The oldest building in New York City.
It sits on a bucolic bit of farmland left over from the 1600s — across the street from an East Flatbush junk yard and car wash.
That Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, whose oldest section was constructed around 1652, should survive until now is partly dumb luck.
