Our heart skipped a beat when we saw this listing. We have no idea how it escaped our notice at the end of last week–it must have been added after we did our Open House picks. Anyway, it’s not often you see one of these old mid-19th century frame houses on the market. The listing says Clinton Hill but doesn’t give a street (Argghh!), but we suspect it’s probably Eastern Fort Greene, somewhere like Clermont. At first glance we thought the asking price of $1.75 million looked low but then realized we might be letting our excitement over the house’s special exterior architecture get the best of us, so we looked at the rest of the interior shots. Nothing special shown but certainly not bad. And as partial as everyone knows we are to the area, this still looks like a great deal to us compared to something like yesterday’s dinky $2.15 million offering in Park Slope. Just no comparison really. We’ll be interested to see if everyone thinks we’re overly enthusiastic on this one, though we suspect the market will bear us out. Accuse us of boosterism if you must, but we bet this’ll be another 41 Monroe with multiple bids over the ask.
