Co-op of the Day: 185 Clinton Avenue, #15D
If you had $50,000 to sink into renovations, this one-bedroom at 185 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill could be one sweet pad. Right now it looks a little rough around the edges, but it’s got decent bones and absolutely killer views. We’re not up on our recent comps in the Clinton Hill Co-ops but we…
If you had $50,000 to sink into renovations, this one-bedroom at 185 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill could be one sweet pad. Right now it looks a little rough around the edges, but it’s got decent bones and absolutely killer views. We’re not up on our recent comps in the Clinton Hill Co-ops but we bet some reader will be able to opine on how the $339,000 asking price stacks up.

“If BAM is a stones throw, then by that logic this place is right next to mugging and rape on Gates in the previous post.”
Neither is true. BAM would be about a 15 minute walk from here, as would the scene of the crime referenced above.
“We’re not up on our recent comps in the Clinton Hill Co-ops”
Neither are they (the comps). $339K stacks up like a house of cards. Did it cost freakin’ $50K to renovate these when they were actually selling for that amount in the 90’s during better economic times?
I looked at one of these fixer-uppers in 2001 that only asked a buck grand. I don’t see how today’s asks/comps will escape a collapse back to that amount or worse in this deflationary environment.
And this one’s on Murdah Ave?!
LOL, denton @ 12:52!
***Bid half off peak comps***
I live on the Myrtle side and actually prefer it. That probably wouldn’t be the case if Fulton would pick up.

Actually ET…count parquet floor tiles…I think it is 8′.
If you really want a high floor, not a bad deal. I suspect it is more than a $50K reno to end up with a floor plan that makes sense. This is nearly 800 sq ft, so I think the current DR becomes the office/2nd bdrm-nursery.
“Where is that wall of glass bricks? I can’t figure that out.”(me)
It could be the wall between the kitchen and dining are, cause the windows are on a corner.
If so, there’s no way that it’s 8′-0” as indicated on the plan. (ET)
Yeah, that would be a serious, mistake. And you certainly could not call that a dining area if that’s the case.
As we saw from the recent article Mr B posted here about the super sweet renovation somebody did in Clinton Hill Co-ops, these high floor apts can be really nice with the right touch.
I do agree with E minor that if I was going to buy into Clinton Hill Co-ops I would do so in the chunk of them by Lafayette.
This price seems fair enough to me though.

The sponsors were selling renovated 1 bedroom units back in 2008 for about $379k. So $339k for an unrenovated apt in 2010 seems a bit much.
They’re nice apartments, but the 5% flip tax and distance to a reliable subway line made me decide against it then. Also, imho the blocks by Lafayette are nicer.
