Has the value of Clinton Hill real estate gone up 50% in the last two years? Don’t think so. But that’s the increase that the seller of 274 Clinton Avenue is looking to make. She bought the five-story house in August of 2005 for $1,925,000 and now has the house back on the market for $2,995,000. Of course, from the looks of it, she’s put a fair amount of dough into the renovation, which looks pretty nice. (Our only quibbles are the choice of white for the bannister and the fact that the crown and ceiling moldings are no more.) There’s lots of original woodwork, however, and it’s on a fantastic block. We could see this fetching $2.6 or $2.7 million but would surprised if someone steps up for the full asking price. Stranger things have happened though.

“I think the price is quite reasonable, actually.”
Oh, phew! and there I was thinking it was about $700k too high.

4 words for you:
THE MARKET HAS CHANGED!
looks like it’s been on the market a while.
that pic is taken with full lush green vegetation out front.
The taxes are listed at $13,000 a year. Is that right? Are property taxes that high there?
I thought the property taxes in NYC were more reasonable, given we already must pay the city income tax.
Corco had another house on Lafayette for 2.3 that was smaller than this, frankly not that nice and it apparently sold in a couple of weeks. I dont see why this house, which is bigger and better renovated, wont get between 2.5 and asking.
Is it just some glitch in my browser, or is there really no floor plan that comes up from the link on the Corcoran site? I would really like to know how this is classified as a 5 story building. Is there a set-back addition on the top that’s not visible, or are they actually exhibiting the gall to call the cellar a habitable level?
I get the feeling the first 9 comments were all from the same person.
wow clinton hillers are so full of themselves and their marginal (at best) hood
at least in park slope you have the better schools, shops, restaurants, bars, a huge park and transportation.
since when was clinton hill more expensive than ps anyway?
ridiculous.
i agree with you, 1:42. the ft. greene/clinton hill market is completely out of line.
i’d take any of the handful of ps homes on the market right now (all under 3 million, btw except for the montgomery place one) over this thing.
their lack of putting the molding up (so simple and cheap!) shows to me how little they care about the house and neighborhood and how much they want a big fat payday.
