This three-family Greek Revival at 436 Classon Avenue has a wonderful parlor floor and a front porch to boot, but we’ve got no idea what the owners are thinking asking $2,165,000 million on this street. We can’t think of a house within three blocks of this place that has fetched even $1,500,000. Keep on dreamin’.

  1. Yes, this is Clinton Hill.

    And I must say that brooklynproperties is doing their clients an extreme disservice by allowing them to post this asking price. All of the houses on their site are way over priced.

    I’ve actually been in this house and it’s nice but not worth 2.2 million! I’m thinking more like $925.

  2. Classon has gotten better, but is still marginal. It is not the nice part of clinton hill, it is not fort greene.
    This price isn’t close. It might not sell even if reduced to 1.5.
    You can’t blame the owner for taking a shot at winning the lottery, but the overwhelming odds are this house will noit sell.

  3. “Sort of like yesterday’s HOTD (Prospect Place) — a really cool home that appears to be significantly overpriced. Also, I’d like to know what “needs finishing” really means.”

    Sort of, but not quite. You don’t think the Park Slope home at only 400K more than this one sounds like a DEAL now?

    That is one of the most prime neighborhoods in Brooklyn, a blue chip neighborhood and this is on the fringe of the ghetto for a tad less money.

    Seems to me this puts it all in perspective.

  4. Here’s what a person of no notable means whatsoever does with a piece of random good luck. After making few bucks on an odd-lot trade, they brag about it on a anonymous blog. More to the point: Buy this house now, or wait two-three years, and pick it up for 695k. Up to you.

    On the plus side, the porch and the parking probably add $150-200k to the price–either is extremely rare, and both is a real bonus. Also, is that a garage in front of the Range Rover?
