Houses of the Day: Head-to-Head on Clinton Street

Two owners within two blocks of each other on Clinton Street in Cobble Hill have decided to put their houses on the market at the same time for almost exactly the same price. Number 274 (left), which is listed with Brown Harris Stevens for $2,900,000, is a 3,600-square-foot three-family that has been in the same family for six decades. Number 299 (right), listed with Halstead for $2,895,000, is smaller at about 3,000 square feet but has a corner location with a parking garage taking up most of the rear yard. Both houses are brownstone and both houses have only 68-feet-deep lots. The corner property has been recently renovated and most likely has higher taxes. Tough call. Which would you buy if you had this kind of dough to drop?
