Local website HistoricBrooklyn.com is reporting that Judge Betsey Barros awarded 306 Clinton Avenue yesterday to the couple who had placed the highest bid of $1.5 million. Turns out Historic Brooklyn has been following the auction process (the background of which we detailed back on May 24) very closely because he was in the running himself. He also took a ton of photos when he toured the house, many of which are posted on the site. So what happens now? The winners put down a 10% deposit yesterday and now have 90 days to close. The back-up bid, by someone who sounds like a developer, is $1,350,000.
