Brownstoner got a tip a couple weeks ago that a certain television star had bought a house in Clinton Hill. Ever cautious, we did a little due diligence and, lo and behold, the story checked out: Adrian Grenier, the mop-headed leading man of HBO’s series Entourage, will be moving into this three-story frame house on Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill–hopefully without Kevin Dillon et al. Funnily enough, this is one block away from the house the Strokes’ axeman Nick Valensi had a verbal contract to buy late last year (before he was outbid at the eleventh hour). Grenier, who attended the arts-oriented Laguardia High School, must have had an edge in the bidding–his mother is a Corcoran broker with 27 years experience under her belt. Anyone know what he paid?According to Propertyshark.com, Grenier (with his mom) paid $999,000.
