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).

  1. Thanks Biff.

    I like your comments too.

    I’m just trying to bring back some actual discussion on this blog since it’s been a nightmare for the last couple weeks.

    Don’t worry. I don’t let gray-typed posters tell me what to do!

  2. Isn’t some developer planning to put a humongous building in the block-through lot to the left of the house, which was also sold by Pratt? Combine the costs of restoring the house with the hassle of not having the carriage house, PLUS construction/vibration next door, while some Son of Scarano is building who knows what for a couple of years (presuming they can get financing)…not worth it.

  3. If people actually had money saved, they would not be going into foreclosure. Nor would they have needed to take line of equity loans out of their homes.

    In the past 3 months, I have been saving money at a much faster rate than I had in the past.

    It not only feels great, but is great for MY bottom line.

    Not the bottom line of the U.S. governement.

    Two TOTALLY different things.
