After more than two years of on-again-off-again marketing and schizophrenic pricing, the glorious Pfizer mansion at 280 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill went into contract this weekend. Priced at one point as high as $3,999,000, the most recent asking price was $3,300,000 and was a joint listing with both Brown Harris Stevens and Corcoran; we’re told that the contract price was just over $3,200,000. While the facade is going to need some serious dough to bring in line with the expert restoration going on at its twin sister next door, the interior of the house is positively opulent. From what we hear, the new owner is a real history buff and is planning to bring the house back to its former grandeur, starting with trying to reproduce the original glass conservatory at the rear of the house. Awesome.
