House of the Day: 274 Clinton Avenue

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.

Never said the house was, I was comparing FG to PS. Duh!
Well it’s certainly very big. And I don’t mean the tent in Bill’s pants.
But is the reason the taxes are so high purely because it was once an SRO? Wouldn’t a new C of O (at some point) cause a new assessment and, one would think, a lowing of that very large number?
“What’s Clinton Hill?”
The tent in Bill’s pants?
Drum roll, please…
Price looks okay to me. And no I’m not the broker or the seller or anything. I think a lot of homes in worse condition sell for much more than they are worth considering how much money you have to put in to them. In general I think either the market overvalues houses that need considerable work or else it undervalues houses that are done. See for yourself how much a good or even halfway good reno costs and you will appreciate the hard work some sellers have put in to their places.
50% of the people in manhattan, hell 75% of the people in manhattan don’t know very much about any of brooklyn, They’ve heard about williamsburg and dumbo… because they can see it. otherwise in the minds of manhattanites anybody that lives in brooklyn lives in a subpar neighborhood PARK SLOPE included.
we know this to be false.
remember how nasty the meatpacking district was(is)- now it has out paced soho in marketability.
Now the Park Slopers are fighting amongst themselves. Ah the inhumanity.
haha chill.
transportation wise its different
jesus
“Park Slope north of Union st really doesnt have much to do with the rest park slope.”
Um….Park Slope north of Union Street IS Park Slope. That is the historic and landmarked district of the neighborhood. It used to be that Park Slope only went down to 3rd Street.
North Park Slope is a helluva lot more Park Slope than anything below 9th Street, that’s for sure.
Whatever that means.
