371 Clinton Street Sells For Ask
This’ll probably show up on next week’s Biggest Sales list but seemed to merit an immediate post: 371 Clinton Street, the four-story, 15-foot wide Cobble Hill house that hit the market on March 2 and was featured as a House of the Day shortly thereafter, went into contract within three weeks and closed last week…

Pretty impressive!

New Urbanism is the Old Urbanism.
Basically a remedy for the Unsustainable Sprawlism of the past half century or so.
BTW here is what I posted on my own blog back on March 17th:
There’s a lot to like in this 19th century home, and if you’re at this price level, it’s well worth considering. . . Relative to comparable homes I’ve looked at in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, this home stands out for so many reasons–its condition, configuration, flow, finishes and detail. While the overall price of the property is steep, the cost per square foot ($816) is actually at about par with many properties in need of work–making this home a good buy. And I don’t mind its Clinton Street location–this is urban living, after all!
hey pete, if you knew anything about brownstones you would know that the interior is always, at least, one whole foot shorter than the ‘outside’ measurement. capice?
Seems like old urbanism to me. Carroll Gardens has always been like this.
New urbanism would be when you build a new development to have these attributes, or redevelop to put them in, which is what a lot of towns in NJ are doing now, replacing old commercial uses near the train station with mixed residential/retail/office development.
Pete – its already sold, no big deal – keep your hair on.
This is a great example of new urbanism – the couple has family money and lived in the west village and instead of moving to Westchester, they moved to Brooklyn.
“NEW URBANISM promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant, mixed-use communities composed of the same components as conventional development, but assembled in a more integrated fashion, in the form of complete communities. These contain housing, work places, shops, entertainment, schools, parks, and civic facilities essential to the daily lives of the residents, all within easy walking distance of each other. New Urbanism promotes the increased use of trains and light rail, instead of more highways and roads. Urban living is rapidly becoming the new hip and modern way to live for people of all ages.”
