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?

the facade’s only bad (real bad) on the weird paving-stone bay window poke-out, which might actually be an easy fix, no? could it be elegantly plastered over somehow? anyone ever dealt with sort of thing?

This is a four-unit multiple dwelling, delivered vacant! Which means high, high, rents. A good income-producing property.
The ugly facade does not matter for that. If the mechanicals ar in good shape and the title is clear, I think it is a good buy. It would be a poor choice for a residence though, the location is not perfect and of course the facade has been ghetto-ized.
It’ll be far reaching all right. No more poor people except a few who hit the lottery with smattering of “affordable” apartments.
lol
This is nowhere near the AY. Clinton Ave is nice even on the other side of Myrtle. I get the price given the building is 90 feet deep. The facade is horrible, but that’s a lot of square feet.
Don’t be naive. The affects of AY will be far reaching.
The last guest beat me to it – – this is astonishingly far from AY. It’s two blocks from the Navy Yards! Who needs a Hagstrom’s??
I wouldn’t be deterred by the facade. The lack of subway service, moreso.
Proximity to AY?! Are you geographically challenged? The Brooklyn Public Library at GAP is as close the AY as this house is. Good lord. WTF is up with the incessantly stupid AY comments?
AY aside, I think it’s way overpriced. 1.9M? Insanity.
