House of the Day: 275 Washington Avenue
Big changes are afoot at 275 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill! After a couple of months in limbo, the 36-foot-wide brownstone mansion is back on the market with a new broker and a new price. The 7,800-square-foot property, which the current owner subdivided from the adjacent lot after his purchase from Pratt for a song…
Big changes are afoot at 275 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill! After a couple of months in limbo, the 36-foot-wide brownstone mansion is back on the market with a new broker and a new price. The 7,800-square-foot property, which the current owner subdivided from the adjacent lot after his purchase from Pratt for a song last June, originally came on the market with Corcoran last September for $3,500,000. It’s now back on with Brown Harris Stevens for $3,200,000. (The carriage house behind it is now on the market with Brooklyn Properties for $2,600,000.) This could be one of the most spectacular homes in Brooklyn, but it’s gonna take a lot of work (and a lot of money).

I don’t happen to agree with “The What,” but I definitely think he’s a genuinely funny guy!
Oh right. Now I remember. Guess I need to lay off the 420 a little bit.
Or perhaps it was just the incoherent sentence that made me forget.
I’d prefer…I be worth it. At least that’s a little funnier.
To Rehab: yup, local preservationists aren’t thrilled; apparently Pratt sold the lot to one of two developer/bidders that said preservationists deem to be the less sympathetic to the historic architecture of the neighborhood (i.e., the one planning the bigger, bulkier building). Shame, because that lot was originally a lovely garden attached to the house. Tish James’ office may have more info on what’s planned for that lot.
Jerri, he was correct once, remember?
“I not worth it”
I play the same way Biff does, The What.
Are you ever correct about ANYTHING???
Yo, what’s this, 3:54, about some plan to build on the empty lot next to 275? You have any real info on that?
By the way, there ain’t gonna be no Scarano-style modernism happening there. Landmarked, my friend.
Don’t blame the playa, The What.
4:28: Feel free never to come back to this site. You add nothing to it, just like the What.
Biff and Jerri in a tree kiss.. oh wait Biff don’t go that way.

Someday this war is gonna end…
