Condo of the Day: 320 Washington Avenue, #1B
The Graham Home for Old Ladies is one of the most distinctive old buildings in Clinton Hill. Unfortunately, the conversion to condos resulted in fairly run-of-the-mill interiors. Nothing horrible but there’s no sign of any historic charm. Still, the layout and proportions of the this ground-floor two-bedroom are nice as is the location. There hasn’t…
The Graham Home for Old Ladies is one of the most distinctive old buildings in Clinton Hill. Unfortunately, the conversion to condos resulted in fairly run-of-the-mill interiors. Nothing horrible but there’s no sign of any historic charm. Still, the layout and proportions of the this ground-floor two-bedroom are nice as is the location. There hasn’t been a lot of turnover in the 25-unit building in the last couple of years as far as we can tell so we’ll be interested to see how the asking price of $685,000 flies.

Agree that the building’s fantastic, and the apartment itself is underwhelming. I also like the neighborhood, altho being stuck on the G-train is mildly sucky. Least it’s only a stop to the A transfer tho.
My opinion: it’s worth about $450k. It’ll probably go for higher than that, though.
Is it just me or is it odd that there’s no contact info for the FSBO? And where do you see the asking price? Am I blind?
Montrose–you must be Bullshipping about the name of that “motel.”
11217–yeah, definitely priced as if last fall never happened. At right around 600 would be a decent buy I think, especially given relatively low common charges.
One of my fave Clinton Hill buildings. I had a friend who lived in the brownstone next door while going to Pratt in the 70’s, and we got an eyeful, as it was the Bullshipper’s Motel then, a notorious um, hot pillow joint.
I always wanted to see inside, but there wasn’t much chance of that. Too bad they were not able to reintroduce any historic detail, if any remained. I guess those who might know would be too embarrassed to tell.
The sf is a little over 1000, according to the floor plan.
It’s actually more like a 1,043 square feet per offering plan. Plans are sometimes slightly off base, so it may be a 1,000. Maintenance is probably around $400 plus. It is a great building with a diverse and interesting group of owners. It’s well run, financially sound and one of the best Condo settings in Clinton Hill/Fort Greene. Only 3 units per floor makes it very private. Rear building (It is comprised of two attached buildings) has 2 units per floor. Main building was first home for old ladies in Brooklyn (maybe US). Later a rear infirmary was added to move women to when they became too frail to live alone in their private rooms. Some of the units have been renovated nicely since sponsors cookie cutter offering.
I live here and love it. Best kept secrete.
Absolutely stunning building, but I find the asking price completely absurd. Laughable, almost.
This building is so beautiful from the outside. Have seen some of the apts inside and while they could have done more with period detail they are spacious and light filled. And if you have a kid this location can’t be beat (for Clinton Hill at least). Underwood Park (the best urban kids park I have ever been to) is right next door as is the subway. If this only sells for around what the readers are estimating it as it will definitely be a sure fire sign of loss of home value in this area as this is probably the nicest single condo development in the area and units were moving for a lot higher a few years ago.
