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.

ok so the house on Classon was $1.25 and on the other side of Clinton Hill and that was overpriced than this house is insane. NO way the other side of clinton hill is that much worse. and yes ive been to clinton hill
4:47. Only difference on taxes is that in that suburb you get a top school for your dollars, whereas in Clinton Hill…
“The A/C and the G and Atlantic Terminal with the 2/3/4/5/M/D and LIRR? PS dream on”
I live near flatbush in park slope so I have the B/Q abd 2/3. Plus Altantic on the way.
so kinda the same.
Park Slope north of Union st really doesnt have much to do with the rest park slope.
As hard as it is to believe taxes in CH are high. And if the house is on a historic block them 13k sounds about right.
I also have to agree with a few of you when you say that you would rather spend that kind of money PS. I was born and raised in Clinton Hill but for a house that has very little details 3mil is a hell of a lot of money!!! I wouldn’t buy it!

overpriced by 1 – 1.5 million dollars.
The ceilings may have been furred down for the central ac, don’t really know I haven’t been there.
I have been to big houses in Brooklyn Heights that had a kitchen above and one below even though it was a single family house. The one below was formal and big and the one upstairs was small and more every-day. A mansion like this would not likely be bought by someone who wants a rental unit on top of his head.
The taxes are this high in Brooklyn Heights and in Cobble Hill. Congratulations to Clinton hill it looks like it has arrived in the eyes of the city tax dept. It’s still cheap compared to taxes on a two million dollar estate in the suburbs.
What’s Clinton Hill?
It doesn’t matter, the house is overpriced.
All you bitchers and moaners get me sick. The constant bickering about which neighborhood is better and which is worse is annoying. I don’t live in either Park Slope or Clinton Hill but know the house is overpriced. But the home still has it good qualities.
I would like all you home and neighborhood bashers to take pictures of your home put them up, and let all the Brownstoner vultures give there opinions. Then we’ll see that one persons budget and sense of taste is not equal the masses.
This thread is offically over. Thank you. Your comments have been appreciated. Sufficient information has passed on this matter.
