Grand Avenue Haunted House Gets Its Siding

The Grand Avenue Haunted House, which sevens months ago was stripped down to its studs, was finally clad in the wood siding to match its original look—and that of its recently restored twin next door. The guy who makes his living on the block by putting out homeowners’ garbage and keeping their stoops and sidewalks clean told us he thinks it’ll go for $2 million when it’s finished. We’re not quite as optimistic.

Oh, gotta say kudos to the contractor in making the exposed side of the building look so good. It couldn’t have been easy working in 5 feet of space in between the buildings.
Perhaps the family that has owned it forever finally has family members who can afford to rebuild it, and they are doing so. Perhaps when it is done, they will live there.
Perhaps they will try to sell. Perhaps they will get a high price, perhaps not. Besides which, the opinion of the garbage guy is just that, his opinion.
I’m glad the house is being restored, no matter what reason. Unless Adrian Grenier bought it for obvious reasons, the only other options would be it rotted until it fell down, became an unsightly, weed filled, trash and old appliance filled dump, followed by an equally unsightly Fedders box.
BdB–lame attempt to bag a neighborhood through distortion and paranoid innuendo. I hope you are proud of yourself.
Pretty sure that’s Entourage boy Adrian Grenier’s house on the right.
2M…. LMFAO…..
Some crazy sucker that doesnt know the neighborhood well would pay such a price, because of course Clinton Hill is the place to live.
-Then that same optimistic garbage man who loves taking out your trash doesn’t stop begging you for money. Say hi to a crackhead.
-Then you’ll get introduced to the sound of gun fire from that occasional shoot out on the corner of Putnam and Grand. No thats not fireworks.
-Then you’ll realize that those Zombies walking through his block and on Fulton ave all day are Methadone patients. No your not watching a horror movie.
All I could say is welcome to the Hood, SUCKER!.
It’s been in the same family for decades
Anybody know what they paid for it? It doesn’t appear on propertyshark. That’s going to be one helluva expensive restoration. I hipe they don’t lose money on it if its being done for a flip. At 2,100 sq ft, even the garbage man is a bit optimistic.
The restored house next door looks beautiful from the outside…Is it the same owners?
He can’t be any less of a prognosticator that the financial wizard who uttered this memorable phrase yesterday – “If money isn’t loosened, this sucker could go down.” GWB
Actually, I’s sooner trust the garbage guy. The Brooklyn one, that is.
