House of the Day: 148 Clinton Avenue
Listed at $1,995,000, the 6,750-square-foot free-standing house at 148 Clinton Avenue looks like a pretty good bang for your buck as far as Clinton Hill goes. Although it’s located to the north of Myrtle (typically less desireable than to the south), the sub-$300-a-foot price tag is compelling. If you can get past the Flintstones-themed facade,…
Listed at $1,995,000, the 6,750-square-foot free-standing house at 148 Clinton Avenue looks like a pretty good bang for your buck as far as Clinton Hill goes. Although it’s located to the north of Myrtle (typically less desireable than to the south), the sub-$300-a-foot price tag is compelling. If you can get past the Flintstones-themed facade, the interior actually has a decent amount of original charm, though it’ll need plenty of work. Given the size and the large floor plates, we suspect this is more likely to appeal to someone as a condo conversion than as a family house, but you never know. Thoughts?

I bet it smells worse that Tisha James’ snapper
8:42 and 9:23 – why don’t you state what you object to instead of making dismissive vague statements like the above? are you referring to people’s assessments of prices in Clinton Hill? Why is this not serious? Who decides what’s serious? And what an obnoxious upper east side assessment of what makes a grown-up – out of the city with children for August. Does money equal grown up in your world? It’s the wonderful hoi poloi aspect of this site that gives you an amazing sense of the Bkln buyers community I think.
I’ll tell you one thing, if I were one of this site’s advertisers I would immediately pull every ad and take my business elsewhere.
this is not a serious real estate blog any more.
Maybe it is because most of the grown-ups are out of town with their kids in late August.
I hope so.
Stoner, you are slipping down the drain here.
to 2:10pm – has it ever occurred to you that there are many many many people who can’t stand Park Slope and wouldn’t live there if they were paid to? Many people much prefer Clinton Hill. I am one of them, although I don’t live there. This is not to say it’s a reasonable price…
My favorite thing about this listing’s writeup: “Because it is so well-priced, it will not last long.”
Hell, it’s lasted since 1910, hasn’t it?
The BQE will be worthless after AY is built.
At least the tree covers a good deal of the hideousity!
Circumstances
Buju Banton
Chorus:
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should understand
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know
Verse 1:
May sound strange, might sound foolish
But things ain’t getting better
Everyday another fall victim to the beretter
Why is there so much violence
Killing we one another
Let us learn to live and let that light shine brighter
Bad influence through influence the youth dem get slaughter
As bad as badman use to be
Dem respect di father
Is like no eyes no realize she
Times get harder
Mi talk all night with all mi might
But still is laughter
Chorus
Verse 2:
Him say, when I try to cope
Tell mi self there is hope
It seems like the biggest joke
Eh eh,
And as I put down the gun
Still dollars must run
All now employment can’t come
Have mi a jam and a cool
Want go back in a school
The system lick mi
There’s no hope for those
Who have not from the slum
Take di little much we have
Still hunting we down
I beg unu show some love
Unu wi get back, he replied
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circimstances made me what I am
And everyone should know
Verse 3:
Well a no little cry
Mama cry, papa cry too
She warn the bwoy with all heart
And that couldn’t do
Now dem find him dead with a Smith and Wesson
Six weeks and change
Now mi hear him missing
Why so much violence, too much violence
It hurts my soul and I won’t keep silent
Circumstances made me what I am
That was his reply I cry
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know
May sound strange, might sound foolish
But things ain’t getting better
Verse 4:
Everyday another fall victim to the beretter
Why is there so much violence
Killing we one another
Let us learn to live and let that light shine brighter
Bad influence through influence the youth dem get slaughter
As bad as badman use to be
Dem respect di father
Is like no eyes no realize she
Times get harder
Mi talk all night with all mi might
But still is laughter
