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!

Anon 3:38 So, because you learned a few coping skills you’ve decided that black kids in white environs fare better than the reverse? Come on.. sounds like it isn’t just our society that’s screwed up. Anon 3:03 has a valid point. We haven’t made our society what it should be therefore kids, black and white, pay the price when exposed to certain environments. The “price” is how the experience is internalized and that will differ depending on the child.
I am slowly losing respect for this web site – i agree with the poster who thinks this listing and feature on this web site is to “help” the overpriced $3.8mm house on wash park. $3.2mm for this ?!@ and seems to need work and is in CH and also looks $.5-1mm overvalued and wont sell ….
for brownstoner to call this reasonably priced is very questionable…
……. lets have the wash park house be the house of the day again (for the third time) in a couple weeks please.
Anon 2:07 here – boy gotta get out to take advantage of the weather! Most public schools aren’t comparable to privates but unless your child has specific needs, the highly-ranked publics (6,234,3,41,199,87, 321) are just as good as privates for me. For those schools, I’d gladly build up $ for later.
Everyone knows that precious white children are America’s little dumplings
Anon 2:07 here: I am not white, and it is “easier” in some ways to be the only non-white person in an all-white school than the reverse. Because it taught me how to deal with a very white world at college, and in the workforce. The reverse isn’t true because of our screwed up society.
The whole save the $$ now for the warchest for middle school/college years is an interesting position to put forth. I take the other positon – kinda like an approach to preventive medicine – spend some now, and you have less serious issues to deal with later on with the patient. Of course, this implies/suggests that public schools give an inferior basic education – which I wholeheartedly DO NOT believe. Besides the countless family members who give their blood sweat and teras in the NYC public school system as teachers/aides and administrators – I really think the basic foundation that kids get really begins from within the home. Big buck private shcools are really just a way to outsource sound foundation building-skills in education to entites that by their very nature are more “responsive” to the parents.
I love to see the hypocrisy of NE liberalism on display, especially during this election season. Anon 3:03 would you counsel a Black or Latino family against sending their child to a public school that was 98% white? Or do you find your precious white children to be better behaved and more accepting than the negro hordes?
Anon 2:07 – if you have a kid that can get those double fours on the standardized scores you won’t have a problem with public middle/high schools.
It is the average child that falls through the cracks. Of course if we lived in Bayside or anywhere else for that matter we wouldn’t be so worked up about fourth grade test scores.
Anon 3:03. I totally understand your point. It’s hard to “be” the diversity anywhere. My kid goes to St. Ann’s and I cringe thinking about what they may have to go through as black children. Merits of the school aside, as they were in your comments.
