Has the value of Clinton Hill real estate gone up 50% in the last two years? Don’t think so. But that’s the increase that the seller of 274 Clinton Avenue is looking to make. She bought the five-story house in August of 2005 for $1,925,000 and now has the house back on the market for $2,995,000. Of course, from the looks of it, she’s put a fair amount of dough into the renovation, which looks pretty nice. (Our only quibbles are the choice of white for the bannister and the fact that the crown and ceiling moldings are no more.) There’s lots of original woodwork, however, and it’s on a fantastic block. We could see this fetching $2.6 or $2.7 million but would surprised if someone steps up for the full asking price. Stranger things have happened though.
