The brownstone condo conversion at 473 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill hit the market about five weeks ago, and so far none of the three units have found a buyer. The listings include a top-floor mini-loft for $629,00, lower duplex for $1,275,000 and an upper duplex for $1,195,000. The renovation, while not preserving every detail, appears play up some of the larger architectural elements like the window, door and chair railing moldings. (The recessed lighting lovers out there will also be pleased.) The location’s pretty good too, less than a block from the C train. The pricing is pretty high on a per-square-foot basis for the area, but it also looks like a much better job than some of the other brownstone conversions nearby. Time will tell.

That’s true, BH76. It would be ideal if the BR’s were on the floor above the parlor. I’m totally disregarding price here. (They should just start listing highest bids instead of these wishing prices.)
Maybe for half this amount?
I do not think that the lower duplex is ideal. For well over a million, I do not want a ground floor bedroom with a door to the street. None of these are worth asking prices — take 40% off.
The lower duplex layout is very ideal. The kitchen is in the middle, maximizing living room space. The master bedroom has his/her sinks and faces the more peaceful back yard side of the building.
But I’m LMMFAO at these Johnny-come-lately developers who think they can come here and charge 600+ for a studio and more than a big one for each of the duplexes and take us seriously. Pre-credit crisis, you could get a fixer-upper with rental income for less than any of those duplexes in the same area. Now…
I remember when that same building was defunct. Aint no renovation there worth 500K to 750K. Where’s the value? That’s not the best part of Clinton Ave. You don’t want to be THAT close to the train.
My guess is the mini-loft doesn’t extend all the way to the front of the building, and you can’t see it from the low angle of the pic. ie: it was probably a later addition.
These are decent units (I don’t mind recessed lighting) but they seem quite overpriced to me. $630k for a studio (sorry, “mini-loft”)? There are big 1 BRs in many nice neighborhoods available in that price range.
It is a five story Brownstone. I went in while they were still working on it. The owner has had the building for awhile and tried to create a well laid out space with some nice materials. It’s nice but pricey.
Sorry, three units, two of which appear to be two floors. Where’s the mini-loft?
Ew, recessed lighting and fireplaces no longer in what was once the middle of the room. Why would anyone buy one of these condos when they could buy a whole house for the same price?
