House of the Day: 411 Classon Avenue
We’ll say this for 411 Classon Avenue—it’s a better flip job than you generally see in the area. The four-story brownstone between Lexington and Greene on the Bed Stuy side of Classon changed hands two years ago for $890,000. Given the time that’s elapsed and the fact that the kitchens, floors and back yard all…
We’ll say this for 411 Classon Avenue—it’s a better flip job than you generally see in the area. The four-story brownstone between Lexington and Greene on the Bed Stuy side of Classon changed hands two years ago for $890,000. Given the time that’s elapsed and the fact that the kitchens, floors and back yard all look redone, the current asking price of $1,245,000 doesn’t sounds crazy. Unfortunately, that’s not how sales prices are ultimately determined. We suspect that the supply and demand curves may intersect a good bit below this price. After all, while blocks on either side of it keep getting nicer and it has some nice houses, it’s hard to see how Classon Avenue as a whole ever really catches up. Agree?

No those are not boarded up windows. Those are pink shutters that you close when there are hurricanes. Where have you been?
so, don’t live in clinton hill. irrelevant since this is not clinton hill. what’s wrong with you?
Are the windows in the building next door boarded up? Looks like it in the photo above.
i love hearing people say that they wouldn’t be caught dead living in clinton hill….HA HA HA to you. same people who think that they’ve “discovered” ft greene. go ahead and wait, then you’ll feel more comfortable paying above market to live in a “great” neighborhood.
I knew someone on Greene b/w Classon + Franklin and was on this block many times between 1999-2004. There is a homeless shelter on Lexington and a large project superblock on Lafayette. This area will never gentrify properly.
Save your cash for when the Fed is forced to raise % rates due to inflation in about 6-18 months. After that the price of this house will be under 600k – which is still too much for this part of town.
yes! great for those late-night snacks! or sleep-eating on ambien…
Change the name!
nothing beats having double-doors open up your kitchen to your bedroom!
“I am hearing Franklin given as the eastern boundary of Clinton Hill.”
—from all those people who don’t want to be in the Stuy. The border is Classon. East of Classon, you are in the Stuy.
As for the house —nice job. I think $1.2 might be a little tough in that stretch of Bed Stuy. You can barely get that price for the houses surrounding the heights.
