262 Clifton Fetches Huge Sales Price

Wow. We weren’t expecting this. Back when 262 Clifton Place was on the market and came up as a House of the Day we had this to say: “While we don’t love all the aesthetic choices, it’s clearly a strong effort. We fear that, given the location, the owner is going to have a hard time getting close to the asking price of $1,300,000. Those are a lot of ducats in this part of town.” The comments went on to predict an ultimate selling price of somewhere between $800,000 and $1,000,000. So imagine our surprise to see that the three-story brownstone had sold recently for $1,200,000!

Congratulations DIBS !
Yes, iot’s really nice aside from the white windows.
ugh the owner look at me my house is worth more now party in here is deplorable!
*rob*
Woo hoo! I also just bought on Hancock between Bedford and Nostrand. Bed Stuy rules.
Yaaay for me. My house is on that block. And that area is now properly referred to as “Stuy Hill” (All rights reserved)
I suppose new precedents are set everyday. The buyer obviously loved the house and felt the 1.2 was worth it. Maybe they took a bath? Who knows? But the bath isn’t so bad when you willingly poured the water. Hope they enjoy it and keep it in good condition. It truly is a lovely property.
That is really as shocking a sales price as I can recall seeing on here. So far above comps one wonders what the buyers were thinking. But far be it for me to criticize, they wanted the house and they bought it. Good on them and thanks for the fantastic comp!
dibs, it’s a mystery what they thought. The house is nice, but the remo isn’t even some sort of bravura performance that justifies a premium. Look at those white windows.
Do you really think the buyer was naive enough to believe it is in Clinton Hill???
They must have put a lot down because there are no comps for this price in that location anywhere near high enough for a 10-20% mortgage.
It’s a really nice place.
