Condos of the Day: Clinton Street Brownstone FSBOs
A husband-and-wife team bought this five-story, 25-foot-wide brownstone at 378 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill last year and have turned it from a five-family rental into a three-family condo. They’re keeping the garden duplex and selling the two upper units. The middle apartment is an 1,100-square-foot floor-through with 12-foot ceilings; The upper duplex about 2,400…
A husband-and-wife team bought this five-story, 25-foot-wide brownstone at 378 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill last year and have turned it from a five-family rental into a three-family condo. They’re keeping the garden duplex and selling the two upper units. The middle apartment is an 1,100-square-foot floor-through with 12-foot ceilings; The upper duplex about 2,400 square feet and has an unusually open plan for a brownstoner. (Actually, it’s kinda like what we did with our second floor.) While the renovation in general is fairly traditional and understated in feel, it looks like there wasn’t a lot of original detail that could be saved which is too bad. Given the amount of grumbling yesterday about the $1.8 million price tag on the duplex on 7th Street, it’ll be interesting to see whether the asking price on the duplex $1.95 million will fly; the simplex is asking $950,000. There’s arguably less on the market around Clinton Street than in Park Slope but, regardless, this place has to stand up on its own against an entire house that could be bought for the same price in not-too-distant neighborhoods. Move in or move on?

We just bought a whole brownstone in Boerum Hill for a little less than this. This seems way overpriced.
Does anyone know how much a similar duplex went for on 2nd Place and Court? It was posted at $2.1m.
I’ve been looking at houses in this neighborhood and I can’t find anything for less than 2.8. And they need tons of work. Small inventory, I guess.
I dig white cabinets (and white kitchens), but I don’t care for the ones in the duplex.
What’s up with the prices? It’s like the owners want to make enough to pay off the entire mortgage amount, renovation costs AND put three kids through private college.
Good luck to ’em, but I’d be surprised if they got a lot of interest at those prices.
This doesn’t look to cheep to me at all. Waterworks tiles, Sub-zero, gorgeous mantles and crown molding. This is the kind of place that will sell in a second. Besides, there is nothing on the market for that square footage, renovated in Cobble Hill.
Ohmygod, move on!
Lovely house on a lovely block, but waaaay over priced. and 3-unit coops? generally a bad idea. Your financial health is entirely tied up with two complete strangers. If you want to spend big bucks on a coop, do so in a larger buildings with at least ten units and a live-in super. This sort of thing is neither fish nor fowl. It’s not a house and its not an apartment building with services. I know there are lots of little coops like this, but generally the asking prices are less than those in white-glove coops with doormen and porters and the whole nine yards.
Bay Ridge Limestones 2600sf+ cost 800K-ish and very good to great schools…..Ok more travel time……Clinton Hill is lovely though:>)
seems pretty nice except I don’t like the way the kitchen opens to the living room, seems awkward. Speaking of kitchens, what are people’s opinions on white kitchens/cabinets? Seems to be gaining in popularity.
Still, I wouldn’t pay close to 2 million for a duplex. Could get a whole house in park Slope for this piece of change.
I mean Renovation. Not much to restore here.
Cheap restoration. Compared to the CH condo on Grand & Gates that I saw last sunday, this place looks like crap. And they’re asking twice as much. Location is completely different, but this place doesn’t compare.
