House of the Day: 338 Clinton Avenue

When we were looking at yesterday’s house of the day, we noticed that BHS broker Ann Macdonald also has another mind-blowingly beautiful but not inexpensive house on the market a little further east from the one overlooking Fort Greene Park. 338 Clinton Avenue is on one of the grandest stretches in the borough and is dripping with original woodwork. In addition, four of its five floors are 90 feet deep, according to the listing, which would mean there’s about 8,000 square feet of living space, as opposed to the 4,400 quoted by Property Shark. So that’s really what it comes down to: At 8,000 square feet, this looks quite reasonably priced at $3.2 million; at 4,400 square feet, it looks like a stretch. Regardless, you’ll want to take a look at some of the interior photos we have posted on the jump. Delish!

ditto..to the above two posts.. Antoon is a great guy
Brownstoner, you should profile Antoon’s story on this website. “From Rags to Riches!”
338 Clinton Avenue is owned by Antoon who is one smart or very lucky guy! The man was buyinig and investing in Fort Greene-Clinton Hill decades ago and now his investments are paying off handsomely! Antoon is the owner and operator of the stair repair and installation company Soxco. He owns a bunch of brownstones and townhouses in the hood. He use to own that beautiful mansion at 1 South Portland but sold it for $1.2M back in 2000. Jerry Minsky at Corcoran was the broker and at the time the sale price was a neigborhood high. Looking back it was a steal! I guess Antoon is no longer is the business of giving freebies! $3.2M is a huge number! I hope he gets his due because he deserves everything he gets for believing in our hood when very few people did. God bless him! I wonder if he’s planning to retire and liquidate his real estate holdings. If so, look out! The man was smart to invest in some of the best properties on the best blocks in FG/CH, e.g., 338 Clinton Avenue, 340 Clinton Avenue (corner house), 1 South Portland, 331 Vanderbilt, 47 South Oxford, etc. He probably owns over $10MM in brownstones and the guy came into the nabe as simply a hardworking repair guy — not a real estate tycoon!
College is a waste of time. My kids are going to sit around and chill out. Je-sus, GET A GRIP people.
i can’t afford it myself…
DWL @ 6:34…nice
I love how expensive listings bring out the best in those who cannot afford them. 😉
Wow, 3:48, tell me…did you lose your sense of humor along the way or you just never had one? Lighten up, kid.
Wow, Anon at 1:28, Anon at 10:40, aren’t you an ignorant a**hole. I am not a fan of Long Island myself, and no longer live there, but if you think that there aren’t d-uchebags elsewhere, think again. In fact, making comments like that pretty much qualifies you as one.
And anon at 3:10 “I’m talking about financials, backgrounds, education, social and political views (even though I don’t associate with Republicans)” – great for sounding like a horrible hypocrite and making all Democrats look like sh-t. Keep up the good work. Makes me so proud to be one of you.
