Wazzup With 447 Clinton Avenue?
We can’t figure out what the heck is going on with 447 Clinton Avenue. The 9,000-square-foot Italianate mansion (which dates back to 1850) housed the Galilee Baptist Church until earlier this decade. The church finally sold it to some investors for, in retrospect, the small sum of $1,725,000. The new owners cleared several dumpsters worth of stuff out of the building before putting it back on the market in a few weeks later for $3,900,000. That’s where the trail ends. We don’t know whether a new buyer stepped up or if the people who bought it from the church still own it. There were rumors of a condo conversion several months back but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot going on. Who’s got the 411?
