House of the Day: 9 Lefferts Place
This charmer at 9 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill is new to market. (In fact we heard that some neighbors already put bids in at the first open house this weekend.) The four-story, three-family brick house has only had a few owners and has a lot of original detail still intact. It’s one of six…
This charmer at 9 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill is new to market. (In fact we heard that some neighbors already put bids in at the first open house this weekend.) The four-story, three-family brick house has only had a few owners and has a lot of original detail still intact. It’s one of six 22.5-foot-wide houses in a row built by developer William Alexander in the early 1860s. The Craigslist ad describes a “cook’s kitchen” and a landscaped garden but neglects to include any photos. If everything’s in decent shape, the asking price of $1,470,000 seems quite reasonable given the details and generous size (about 4,000 square feet). Thoughts?

Mt. Airy in Philadelphia is also diverse and lovely. I mean gorgeous!
Clinton HIll/Fort Greene has great architecture. The area is also one of the very few, very few, racially integrated neighborhoods in the entire country.
Our block was built in 1899 and my house has them at the end of the parlour where the dining room begins. This makes a great open flowing space, but the thing (can’t remember name) marks where the living room ends in a nice way.
Seems overpriced to me.
brownstoner,
concentrate on c. gardens! this is just wrong!
Bob, thanks for your always well-informed input! My house was built 1879, we’re told. Regardless, we know the screen is not original because you can see where they chopped up the mouldings and ceiling detail to install it. I think in houses where the screen was designed-in, they can be quite fetching. But in my house, it makes the fireplace off-center and competes with a fantastic pier mirror for focal point status. So I’m gonna take it out.
And who is this person wasting his time ranting about a FG/CH bias on this blog? True or not, who gives a shit? Read something else, loserrrrrrrrr
anon @ 2:36…but not nauseating enough for you to stop reading it apparently. too funny.
This website’s bias for FG/CH is nauseating
no problem of underexposure now that it’s shown up on this board.
