Betcha they’ll look fabulous when they’re renovated.

Million-dollar houses — some of them in need of TLC — have sold recently in Madison, the neighborhood surrounding high-profile James Madison High School.

We gleaned info about the buyers and the prices they paid from city Finance Department records.

* In August 2016, Eric Goldberg and Sarah Goldberg paid $1.38 million for 2823 Quentin Road, which is on a 50-by-100-foot lot on the corner of East 29th Street.

The beautiful Spanish-Revival house’s lawn is overgrown with weeds and tall grasses — but the neighbors should take heart. In May, Sarah Goldberg filed renovation plans with the city Buildings Department for the conversion of the two-family home into a single-family residence.

* In October 2016, Liman Kodza paid $1.2 million for 2701 Quentin Road. The stand-alone house is a pared-down Spanish-Revival design on a big lot on the corner of East 27th Street.

When we passed the house the other day, construction debris was stacked in the side yard and a contractor’s sign was posted.

A certificate of occupancy we found in Buildings Department records indicates the house was built in 1925.

* In April 2017, Shimon Ovadia and Sierra Ovadia paid $1.09 million for a single-family house at 3830 Bedford Ave. The mid-block lot on which it’s located is 40 by 100 feet in size. Shimon Ovadia recently filed plans with the Buildings Department to enlarge the rear and side of the house.

* In March 2017, Lenora Hassoun bought the house at 1857 East 24th St. for $989,000. Home improvement is underway.

* Margareta Miller and Joseph Goldzal are in the process of building a horizontal extension at 1814 East 28th St., the single-family house they bought for $935,000 in November 2015.

* Sami Alkhabaz bought 2202 Avenue T, a house whose exterior is in less than perfect shape, for $800,000 in June 2015. It is located on the corner of East 22nd Street.
