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.
274 Clinton Avenue [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
I love Clinton Hill, but the price is straight CRAZY!. My dream is to own a Town house in this Neigh, event hough I’m perfectly comfortable with my condo in this neigh. But each year the pricing seems to be going higher and higher……
When will it stop!.
who the eff is rosie perez?
now frat guys…that sounds more my speed…
Oooh, ooh–Rosie Perez lives two houses over. So you have a frat house AND Rosie Perez right next door. Cool!
I’d pay $1.7 cash for this house. Not a penny more.
Regarding the high taxes, this situation happens when the building was a former SRO–not sure why.
Looking at Pshark, there was a new C of O issued in 2002, and it looks like it had been an SRO before that.
I live nearby and this owner will be lucky to recoup her investment in this market.
And shame on the broker for no floorplan or kitchen and bath photos. Workin’ hard for that 6%…Or maybe the kitchens and baths are so crummy that they’re not worth showing.
Either way, it’s no way to market a $1+MM property.
dwarf here. . .
isn’t anyone going to defend the rights of vertically challenged people to enjoy full use of the upper duplex?
maybe the deep-pocketed buyer could advertise the apartment on a website that targets little people.
most immigrants settle in the outer boroughs.
period.
your comment is asinine, 3:46.
you just want to argue.
Bliddy Hell…. You people will find an argument in anything!! Clinton hill, Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, Park slope..I hate, I love… each day, same crap…..
Surfice to say, this site is soooo entertaining even if you do all act just like bloody children!!
“you think new immigrants to this country are more apt to move right from the boat into manhattan???”
No dear, you’re delusional. I hate to burst your little teeny-tiny perception of the borough of manhattan, but there are large neighborhoods comprised of one or more immigrant communities. People get right off the boat and move to where there family and friends are located. Gasp…even if they live in manhattan. And on the higher-end, you’ve ignored the fact that there is a great deal of prime manhattan real estate owned by immigrants. Whether they choose to live there or not.
All these comments and not one about the fact that the ceiling apprears to have been furred out. So not only, as many mentioned, do you have no cove molding the cove, or most of it, itself seems to have disappeared.
