House of the Day: 224 Washington Avenue

224washingtonave0807.jpgAlthough there are no interior photos provided on the Two Trees website, we’re inclined to believe the verbiage that the brownstone at 224 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is indeed chock-full of historic details. The house was owned for decades by the same person and there haven’t been any renovations filed with DOB ever. As far as we can tell, the owner died last year. Based on this article from the Daily News, someone recently bought the house from the estate and, in addition to booting the long-time tenant, is trying to flip it. Anyway, it’s a pretty safe bet that this’ll need some new kitchens and bathrooms in addition to some general tuning up, so you’re probably talking at least $200,000 in addition to the asking price of $1,795,000. If the details are intact, though, $2 million all-in for a killer house in this location ain’t crazy. Or is it?
