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…
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!

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for close to 6 years and the grocery store on Waverly was ‘Associated’ the full time. It wasn’t so impressive the first few years, but, aside from it not being a mega-mart, there are very few things to complain about. Anon 1:37, you don’t sound like a resident.
Anon 1:37,
The supermarket on Waverly hasn’t been a Key Food for at least 5 years. And they don’t sell pig’s ears. When is the last time you’ve been in the neighborhood?
Hold up. “If I were buying in FG, 2.9m would be my bid”? What does that mean? Sounds like what you are saying is that you won’t pay 2.9m because you won’t live in FG.
More interesting question would be what would you pay for the house that is in in FG? $2mm, $1mm, or nothing…cause you wouldn’t live in FG for any amount of money?
This house is listed for $1mm too high in my opinion. It trades $2.5 to $2.75 or $600 pre sq ft.
We almost rented 2 floors of one of the ones on the block.
They are nice, but not nearly as ornate as the ones on the park. The really nice buildings were 25′, not 22 or 20.
Transportation in the neighborhood sucks, the key food on waverly still sells pig ears, and the area just isn’t that nice.
There was another of these houses (same row) for sale for 1.8, albeit without the detail.
This is great. Because of the size, I think that this is a way better deal than the other one posted yesterday on Washington Park. It looks great from the street and needs some elbow grease but looks fine.
I like this house – good bones, scope for improvement. If I were buying in FG, 2.9m would be my bid.
Interesting. Thanks for the legwork!
go to http://local.live.com/ and you can see for yourself. It’s definitely not 90′. Considering the front yard is about 10′ deep an extension of that size would cover the entire backyard. It looks like there is a small extension there, 9′ sounds about right.
The other interesting thing you can see is that it is directly across from a large co-op building. While the block as a whole is nice I would want a better view from my front yard for $3.2M.
I don’t think thats exactly what listing says/or is trying to say.
Listing says “90′ extension” not 90′ deep- which I think is typo – meant a 9′ extension on some floors.
Unfortunately floorplan shows only 1 floor – and sure is hell aint 90′.
but does look like a small extension.
So propshark is probably pretty close to actual size(although sometimes their figures include garden level and sometimes don’t)
