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!

God, this blogs comments are getting tedious! Can we just talk about brownstones for a change?
Just get off your racist high horse and stop generalizing.

Back to you 🙂
supergirl, sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder and are taking it out on some whiney people on this blog. News flash. Whites have not taken over. Now it is a diverse, mixed, neighborhood. For the past 45 years or so it has been 98% black – not diverse in any sense of the word – after all the whites fled the old neighborhood for the suburbs and fell into abject poverty and crime. It’s finally nice again with diversity (racially – though less and less economically), with many artists and people who are friendly and neighborly. In fact, I’d venture to guess this was the first time this neighborhood has been truly “diverse” and not just a white moneyed neighborhood or a poor black one.
If you have an issue with this rather annoying thread, fine. Just get off your racist high horse and stop generalizing. Most residents of Clinton Hill actually like the diversity and are friendly with their neighbors. The exceptions I’ve seen are generally people like you with preconceptions about anyone new to the neighborhood who is not black.
Stop breeding already. It’s enough we have to step around the brats, now we have to read around them?
Montclair – same issues. For the price of the housing, mediocre public schools. Lots of kids go private there. Try Summit or Milburn.
“Ugh, this thread. I’m beginning to get the view of gentrification of CH…whites wanting the houses but not wanting (or their kids) to associate with the blacks who live here. Maybe they hope for Black flight. Except for the black Caribbean mammy. She can stay. ”
well stated
This is just sad. I’m moving to Montclair. Good riddance to the lot of you.
Anon 9:24 – you have an inflated opinion of those of us in Tribeca.
anon 8:37 wishful thinking! if you lived in tribeca, you’d be at nobu now, nanny with kids, and your kids would be at friends or st. ann’s because you’d know everyone on the board at those schools or at least a few important people to write letters of recommendations for your mediocre kids.
