Given that this is a Clinton Hill property and we can already hear the naysayers grumbling about us pumping up the value of our own house (too tired today, man, this newborn baby stuff is hard work!), we’re going to steer clear of opining on the $1,189,000 list price of this 2-family federal-style brick today. The house is move-in ready and definitely has some nice historic details like pine plank floors and marble fireplaces. Plus, there’s an open, modern kitchen. On the downside, there’s a little too much exposed brick for our taste and we can’t see any crown moldings in any of the photos. Overall, the scale of the house feels on the smaller side for the neighborhood, a feeling that is supported by what appears to be a shallow, albeit quite tastefully done, garden/patio area, but none of that takes away from the fact that this seems like it would be a very nice place to live.
