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.

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?

I wouldn’t pay that to live anywhere in Clinton Hill. It’s still crime ridden and has terrible schools.
& end at stuyvesant. & everything else has to sort itself out. the neighborhood already lends itself to this–well except the nice blocks beyond stuyvesant. there is both a variety (light industry) and sameness (type of brownstones) between grand & bedford actually.
it might be interesting for bed stuy to start at bedford.
nice try. from classon to bedford (except for clifton place) it’s all the same. greene between franklin and bedford is much nicer than the block on which the HOTD sits & are we going to pretend that lexington between classon and franklin is better that anything other than the aforementioned clifton place block? my real point? clifton place between franklin and bedford is the ugliest street in the western world.
Increasingly, I am hearing Franklin given as the eastern boundary of Clinton Hill.
I think this stretch of Classon (from, say, Putnam to Lafayette) has improved a hell of a lot over the past five years or so, as have many of the blocks between Classon and Franklin. It really looks like an extension of Clinton Hill now, rather than the half-a-block-good, half-a-block-not-so-good qualities of the blocks between Franklin and and Nostrand.
this really isn’t bed stuy either. it needs a name!
Why is the brownstone yellow? Is it paint?
Looks like a nice house on a sketchy block.
