Co-op of the Day: 328 Clinton Avenue, #3
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex co-op at 328 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill has a very nice vibe to it—lots of original detail and the kind of spacious vibe you’d expect from a Victorian brownstone. (We’re guessing the square footage comes in at around 1,300.) It’s currently set up for family living right now but we’re…

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex co-op at 328 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill has a very nice vibe to it—lots of original detail and the kind of spacious vibe you’d expect from a Victorian brownstone. (We’re guessing the square footage comes in at around 1,300.) It’s currently set up for family living right now but we’re thinking this would make a pretty sweet pad for a childless household if you could just open up that lower level into one giant living/dining space. The maintenance is a reasonable $855 per month and the asking price is $860,000. Think that’s achievable in this market?

Agree with 11217 that this is overpriced, possibly by even more than $200k. Living / dining room is tiny, and don’t like the idea of bars on the window of the main living space. I have no problem with the location or the building.
From the photos it looks like it is currently set up as a 1 bed (the room with the sofa in it is labelled as a bedroom on the floorplan), which makes sense for the space. Means that $860k is insane, though.
Yeah, I think it could get $3K too… I just don’t think it could get more than that… and that’s not enough to justify $860K, is it?
Umm… isn’t this place closer to $4,500 to $5,000 per month.
I have a friend who has a 3 bedroom (plus office) not far from here (on Clinton) for $2800.
So I’d say no, Heather.
Heather, it might be able to get $3k rent. smaller and worst looking 2 bdrms on those blocks still get around 2.5k or a little more. So $3k for this one is doable
It looks really nice, but could it rent for more than $3K/month? I love the location, but is that location worth $3K/month for a one-bedroom?
They have it as a one bedroom, as it should be. The second bedroom is used as the living room – if the walls can come down, they should take them down and open up the room. Using that second bedroom as a bedroom forces the living space to be too small and dark. Because of the space and large terrace, this will get over $600K – but it should be treated as a large one-bedroom (possibly with office).
I absolutely love the look of the apartment itself and the location is terrific, but the price seems completely off the mark to me. Like by 200K.
“…$860,000. Think that’s achievable in this market?”
Absolutely, because there are still clueless and impatient buyers out there (however dwindling in number). Nevertheless, whole Clinton Hill brownstone move-ins will go for less than this by the time prices stop falling.
Looks nice but it’s stoopless. Not really a bonafide brownstone.
