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?

“as my mother always said, “if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all…”
Tell your mother to SHUT UP!
This house will sell for 800K. It will be worth 600k next year.
i’m almost done with visiting this site. it seems that there is only a tiny percentage of folks who have a clue about real estate and nyc in general. the rest of you are so conservative, uptight and downright out of it…the whole bed stuy “debate” is laughable.
if you lived here, as i do, you would know that this area is rapidly changing for the better. have any of you been to tiny cup? or the YMCA down the street? i love it here. i like living with people who, despite maybe not having much money, are wonderful neighbors. and i also like living with the (many) wealthier families who are putting down roots and buying and renovating these gorgeous brownstones. as my mother always said, “if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all…
It’s Bed Stuy. East of Classon is Bed Stuy despite what the brokers tell you. That’s why the proposed historic district extensions for Clinton Hill end at Classon, and why the FG/Clinton Hill rezoning ended at Classon, and the police precinct jurisdiction for Clinton Hill ends at Classon, etc. etc.
I think it has potential, but I agree that Classon as a street has a way to go. Then again, you would be hard pressed to get a run down place that needs a gut job at that price a block or two west of this location.
“Oh by the way, people please stop PAINTING YOUR FACADES!!”
Mind your own business. It’s MY facade, and I’ll paint it DAYGLO ORANGE if the mood strikes me! Get your own facade and you can NOT paint it, if you want.
This is clinton hill. The brownstone is way overpriced for the area. Classon is gross and it smells like shit.
How much rent does ‘the what’ pay, and what neighborhood does ‘the what’ live in?
Buy one of the ones on either side and redo them yourself. Cut this guy and his extra 300k out of the picture.
hipsters usually work shitty jobs and live in the cheapest places they can find.
hipsters arnt paying high dollar for places unless they actually make money and work jobs and then that kinda makes them not hipsters.
