House of the Day: 224 Washington Avenue

Although there are no interior photos provided on the Two Trees website, we’re inclined to believe the verbiage that the brownstone at 224 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is indeed chock-full of historic details. The house was owned for decades by the same person and there haven’t been any renovations filed with DOB ever. As far as we can tell, the owner died last year. Based on this article from the Daily News, someone recently bought the house from the estate and, in addition to booting the long-time tenant, is trying to flip it. Anyway, it’s a pretty safe bet that this’ll need some new kitchens and bathrooms in addition to some general tuning up, so you’re probably talking at least $200,000 in addition to the asking price of $1,795,000. If the details are intact, though, $2 million all-in for a killer house in this location ain’t crazy. Or is it?

4:29- Hey, chlintonhillhoya said “hope they test well enough”. Also, the test isn’t really that hard. Many kids turn down those coveted spots.
Everyone knows what tuition costs these days.
3:46-I have heard of the frenzy but I haven’t really seen it. I have two children in private school in Brooklyn and they had more than one choice when they started and I sponsor two low income children in a private pre-school and they didn’t have any trouble getting in. And yes they are all in schools that are among the best.
4:29: Dead on. It always cracks me up how people without children have every aspect of raising children in NYC all figured out. Because, you know, they have like nieces or something.
Private school space in Brooklyn is extremely tight. Private schoold space in Manhattan is very tight too. All of which explains why Brooklyn kids go to Manhattan privates and vice versa. People apply to every private they can. A lucky few of them even get in.
that old woman probably got a very nice pay out and is buying a condo in florida with it.
funny, not one person expressed any sympathy for that old woman who is getting kicked out of her apartment after 27 years ….
I agree going to private school can give you a serious sense of entitlement – and inflated expectations. especially in nyc where many if not most of the other students are multi millionaires.
most people i know who grew up going to private school either:
1. hate their parents for it
2. ended up as a coke head
3. went to harvard, was a spoiled brat and now makes 200K a year and complains they can’t afford anything in this big, bad world.
but who cares what’s best for the kids…right?
4:34 – LOL
Is it possible for Mr. B to filter and reject posts that include the following words/phrases:
“AY”
“Atlantic Yard”
“Effect”
“E-F-F-E-C-T”
“Worthless”
Within a certain proximity of each other?
Would anyone really care about this little bit of censorship that would make this readers’ life much more bearable?
