House of the Day: 197 Clinton Street

What’s in a name? A neighborhood name, to be specific? It’s an apt question when thinking about today’s house of the day. Located at 197 Clinton Street, the four-story family brick-and-brownstone building lies just a block south of Atlantic Avenue, placing it in Cobble Hill rather than Brooklyn Heights. Currently configured as a owner’s duplex plus three rentals, the house appears to be in lovely shape. There have been plenty of sales in the area in the high-$2 millions but not a lot of houses this size have fetched this asking price of $3,500,000. Think it’s possible, especially given the mounting market fears?
