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).

No Jerri, like this.

See Jerri, it’s NOT about Real Estate, it’s about The What.
2:42 PM made a good point and you shot back with “I’m sure the upper end is holding price medians up, but at the same time, I don’t think we are at all in a state of panic here (yet) that others around the country are experiencing.”
This is more denial Jerri. I putting up what is going on now! Credit Markets, Bear Sterns, Mortgage Fraud, so on and so on.
Jerri leave me alone. I not worth it and time will tell that I was right all along.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
My contractor/architect have $2ml woodies just thinking of this house.
Isn’t the plot next door owned by the church?
This place is waaaaaaay overpriced.
No need for a boycott. Nobody is buying this place. The seller is going to take a bath on this one because they are greedy. Really really greedy … and foolish.

“that could be such a great house.”
And Penn Station could be such a great station.
If they tore it down and started over. 😉
Which is about what this place looks like it needs. That ivy is not going to be good for the browstone. At the very least the exterior needs 200K and we haven’t even seen the inside…
WOW…that could be such a great house.
The ask is high.
I think people should boycott buying this house, just because it’s such a blatant flip.
Shame.
2:42…
No, I’m clearly not saying that all is well with Real Estate.
But I find the What’s use of cutting and pasting quotes to fit his agenda to be off-putting and quite frankly incorrect many times, so I’m simply putting ALL the information out on the table.
I’m sure the upper end is holding price medians up, but at the same time, I don’t think we are at all in a state of panic here (yet) that others around the country are experiencing.
Jerri – All for full disclosure, but you can’t seriously be arguing that all is well with manhattan real estate and that the price increase is representative of the market today? Are you?
