Clinton Ave. Curb Cutter Takes 20% Haircut
When it comes to curb cutting—and now price cutting—the owner of 174 Clinton Avenue doesn’t mess around.

When it comes to curb cutting—and now price cutting—the owner of 174 Clinton Avenue doesn’t mess around. Taking advantage of the 100-foot commercial overlay from nearby Myrtle Avenue and the fact that the house falls just outside the Clinton Hill Historic District, the owner (who’s also developing the lot behind this house) was able to get permits to butcher convert the front of the ground floor of the historic brownstone into a garage and to cut the curb for a driveway entrance. The theory was that the addition of the parking space would enhance the value on resale, we presume. Well, it couldn’t have helped that much: The asking price was axed last week from $2,500,000 to $1,990,000. Karma?

That “Garage” opening is way too narrow for even a Porsche.
But this is pretty nice block in Clinton Hill.
I live in the area and like it a lot.
Joe Sixpack and Chuckie = Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Lodi, NJ?
What….just because you can’t drive anymore or eat out doesn’t mean there isn’t a hell of a lot of that going on over here in the real world!!!
You really sure you know what interest rates are going to do???
Buy UUP, SMN, DUG, FXI

Clinton Hill = Ghetto. Clinton Hill not = Ghetto. Boring….
“Regular is 3.83 a fucking gallon! No one is driving their cars! The gas stations and Restaurants are EMPTY!!!!!!!”
Cool, great news for the environment and fat people!
12:02 you are probably at the library on a public keyboard. I could afford this house at the original list and more. I know it’s not worth that much because I am looking.
People do not get jumped for there ipods at the same rates everywhere. Clinton Hill is definitely more dangerous than other nabes such as Park Slope or Brooklyn Heights. To some, that makes it the ghetto, to others not. To anyone with half a brain, it makes it worth less than $2M. Get over the denial.
And what day would that be, tWhat? i’d like to know when you think this will happen since you have been saying it for a long time and the world has yet to end.
Agree with 12:02. This area is fine. I live there.
“Fed is meeting but you know Ben is going to pull some sort of a trick. This guy is still saying “what inflation””
Ding ding ding! But, the Bond market is going to blow a hole in the commodities bubble. Also with slowing CONsumer spending with take down asset prices across the board! Whatever the FED does wont make a difference!
Regular is 3.83 a fucking gallon! No one is driving their cars! The gas stations and Restaurants are EMPTY!!!!!!! Joe Sixpack and Chuckie is having a hard time buying food and paying rent but, you can’t tell take to the assfucks on this blog!

The What (Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto!)
Someday the war is gonna end….
