House of the Day: 185 St. James Place
We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story…

We were poking around for houses on the market in Clinton Hill yesterday and realized that there are hardly any for sale right now. Strange. One that is, and that has flown beneath our radar despite being only a block away from our place, is 185 St. James Place. From what we can, the four-story brick is quite attractively priced at $1,200,000. We haven’t seen anything of this size and charm for sale in the area at this price for a long, long time. Are we missing something or is this actually a good deal?

Maybe they listed it just because they had to legally, or something. Too bad it’s gone baby gone.

Oh yeah? Care to show me a 600sf apartment in Clinton Hill for $1000 or less? Not possible.
Great block, great houses–I know the couple in 181, which is a match to 183 and 185. I think they used to be Pratt professors homes at the turn of the century. Nice backyards, too.
600 sq ft apt in CHill could not get more than a $1000.
Scooped up already? Things sell quickly when priced right.
2:07 – that’s why I only like listings by Corcoran.
what kind of rent would that apt fetch in this area?
I called location3 about it last week and it is already in contract. Sucks. Seems like it went into contract before or immediately after they listed it in The Times, but the ad stays there. They don’t seem to be very quick pulling things down. They have had a Ft Greene listing on their site for ages that has already closed. They’re also not very good about getting back to you when you call, so you’re left hanging forever. I was beginning to think it was a scam agency until I finally spoke to someone.
Looks like I could bang my head on the ceiling in the bedroom.
