Big Contracts Signed in Fort Greene & Clinton Hill

Contracts have recently been signed at two big-money properties in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. The former Gallilee Baptist Church at 447 Clinton Avenue finally has a buyer; the most recent asking price was $4.3 million but not sure what it went to contract for. Presumably this will be converted into condos. Let’s hope the developers don’t f*&% it up! A few blocks to the west overlooking Fort Greene park, the immaculately appointed brownstone at 181 Washington Park is also now in contract. After originally hitting the market at $4 million, the five-story house was reduced first to $3.8 million before ending up at its final asking price of $3.6 million. Anyone know if this is where the deal got done?

Think about this,
you work for Goldman Sachs, you got a four million dollar bonus in December, you grew up in the Upper East Side and think its boring, plus your inlaws live there, you have friends with lofts in Tribeca, and you will never outdo their lofts with just four million, so you do something different you buy in Brooklyn -how amusing. Its an easy commute to the office by towncar, you’re that much closer to your Hampton house.
Voila! there’s your fool that will pay three plus million for the house.
i find jealousy to be one of the most ugly of human traits.
well done, 12:22.
clearly there’s a fool born every minute. I’d love to know what idiot paid for that washington ave brownstone. its gorgeous definitely but 3.2 million is absolutely ridiculous. I can’t help but think of how much more 3.2 million could have gotten you. not even in terms of neighborhood because fort greene is very nice but its not 3.2 mil nice yet. people are just throwing away money.
Amen.
“would cost double in manhattan” – huh? this house would cost double in Park Slope or Heights…this is a 10+mm house in the city…have you seen some of the stuff that’s selling in the West Village for upwards of $30MM??
this is a 5 story, 21 foot wide house that has been renovated from the studs up…new everything and not the HD crapola that you see all over FG and CH…there is not a squeak in a floorboard…
it has one draw back only – no central a/c…
please note that 191 sold a while ago for close to $2MM (everyone said no-way) and it’s a 4 story, 4 family that needs much work…
Yeah but now you own maybe 1 0f 20 bstones on arguably the best block in FG? Move in condition and all.
why are they throwing money away 11:38? the people who bought the place clearly love it and want to make it their home, i would assume. ft. greene is an amazing neighborhood and something similar in manhattan would cost double.
while sure, it’s a ton of money, i really don’t agree at all with your comment. it’s a gorgeous building.
i understand thinking it’s pricey, but the sour grapes just makes your whole point seem so bitter.
washington “park” brownstone not washington “avenue”…best house deal in Brooklyn…

Hope they do something nice with 447. Its been a hole in the block for a long time.
