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?

$450 per sq. ft. for a 16 ft wide townhouse that will probably needs all new mechanicals. That sounds about right I guess.
Beautiful!
Wish there was more like this on the site.
Looks like a do. For 1.2m there is also a house on St. James between Lafayette and Dekalb. It is a 5 fam, rent stabilized brownstone. 2 families not moving. 3 apts. vacant. Deals are out there but clearly not plentifull. Can’t find much around 1.2m these days. This house might be a real do for some. Hell, for me. I’m gonna inquire.
This home is priced so well.. Great block… Now this should have a contract on it soon… I wish I had an extra 1.2m lol… I think once Fulton Street gets its act together this house should do well in the future… NOT REA…

If it was 20′ instead of 16′, it’d be a steal.
Lots of good features and an attractive price, but it is a pretty small house. It looks like the entire triplex only offers 7 rooms and one of those is the tiny extension. The entire house is said to have 2688 square feet. If that includes the internal staircase, you’re looking at the owner getting about 1800 square feet, less than I’d expect in a triplex. Still worth it though.
Oh I worded that badly at 1:42, it should be:
“It’s absurd for people to think there are going to be as many properties for sale during a downturn as there were during the upswing in the RE market.”
I’d want a triplex too, or make it a one-family house. For this price, someone can have the whole house to themselves for the price of a large condo.
