House of the Day: 132 Cambridge Place
Well, there’s not a lot we can say about this three-story house at 132 Cambridge Place other than the asking price of $599,000 has got to be the lowest price we’ve seen for a house seen in Clinton Hill in years. The three-family house is bound to need a considerable amount of work, but we…
Well, there’s not a lot we can say about this three-story house at 132 Cambridge Place other than the asking price of $599,000 has got to be the lowest price we’ve seen for a house seen in Clinton Hill in years. The three-family house is bound to need a considerable amount of work, but we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an historic facade lurking behind the linoleum siding. (And if there’s not, LPC will make you recreate one!) Has anyone been inside?

Yes there is some issue with the deed and I have a very good source- this is NOT speculation. It is an unfortunate function of the sub-prime crisis. People are being taken advantage of all over the city.
There is definitely an odd deed history on this place, but how are you so sure it’s being sold illegally?
Hi People, sorry to burst your bubble but this house has illegally been put up for sale! That is why it is so cheap and why there are no interior photos… Think about it, the price is too good to be true.
Oh fuss fuss fuss. Where I live (Bushwick) all the turn-of-the-19th-century houses have this fake-o siding. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a sweet old place inside. Or a half-renovated-in-the-1950s-by-someone’s-brother wreck. You never know.
I went by this house last night. The alley on the right is only about 2′ wide and 10′ deep–then the house next to it widens and there is no longer an alley. Kinda strange, but at least you don’t have to redo the whole side wall.
Compare the two photos–Mr. B’s and Bibi’s on the Realtor’s site. Gotta love those fish-eye lenses. Do they THINK we can’t tell???!!!
Thats gotta be one emaciated horse to squeeze down there.
GC- How much IS copper flashing for that amount of house?
Watch out with that horse path on the side, could be a source for water or mold in the cellar/basement. The house would be better if attached on both sides, not only for structural reasons but for heating as well.
I would be incredibly surprised if there are not rent-controlled and/or Section 8 tenants in the house. Does anyone know the status on that?
