House of the Day: 64A Clifton Place
The photo of 64A Clifton Place speaks for itself—Beautiful old Clinton Hill brownstone fallen on hard times. The listing for the 18-by-40-foot house says there are a few original doors left in the place, but overall you’re looking at a complete gut job. The house is asking $899,000, or about $300 a foot.

The photo of 64A Clifton Place speaks for itself—Beautiful old Clinton Hill brownstone fallen on hard times. The listing for the 18-by-40-foot house says there are a few original doors left in the place, but overall you’re looking at a complete gut job. The house is asking $899,000, or about $300 a foot. (Quite an uptick from the $425,100 it traded for back in 2005. Interestingly, the current owner took out a $650,000 mortgage from a private non-bank lender back in April of this year.) What do you think a reasonable price for the gut reno would be? $500,000?

I think this was a beautiful house but the area was really really degraded back prior to the 1990’s. It was a slum. Houses were neglected for decades, and anyone who has ever owned a house knows you cannot neglect them even for a year. This house can be restored and it will be a gem. But the asking price is ridiculous, they are selling sixty years of neglect, abuse, and deferred maintenance.
I don’t think this little house qualifies as a “beautiful old Clinton Hill brownstone”, even in its heyday.
This place shouldn’t be more than $300K. Just shows you how the market is all fucked up.
And The What is right, America is going down the drain.
Worry not, kids. A major correction is brewing.
Clinton Hill extremely high on itself. Enough is enough.
i don’t think it’s even a shell.
the outside looks like it’s falling down.
it’s half a shell for almost a million bucks.
clinton hill a little high on itself.
Yep–this house is pretty much a shell. And it’s a small shell.
The housing market is a disgrace when a shell is listed for $899.
Yes, it’s a shell, when you have to completely gut the place.
gosh, Clinton Hill hasn’t changed one bit.
