House of the Day: 204 Clermont Avenue
After being listed since February for $2,500,000, the three-family brick house at 204 Clermont Avenue is now on the block for $1,950,000. The 3,100-square-foot house has lots of old detail but, despite a new kitchen (just say no to granite!), still feels a little rough around the edges. Despite the significant price-cut, the asking price…

After being listed since February for $2,500,000, the three-family brick house at 204 Clermont Avenue is now on the block for $1,950,000. The 3,100-square-foot house has lots of old detail but, despite a new kitchen (just say no to granite!), still feels a little rough around the edges. Despite the significant price-cut, the asking price is still far from a lay-up: The house next door sold for $1,625,000 back in 2006. Plus, a not-so-photogenic extension means that there’s no backyard to speak of, a big negative for most family buyers.

1:44 when americans pronounce there Ts in a crisp, clipped manner they end up sounding pretentious like Madonna.
fagetaboutit!
Wish that there were more exterior shots, as well as a floorplan. From the photos shown, I like the house, but I could never afford it–even if I were looking. Also wondering about the exterior. Is it just weathering paint? If so, it’s aesthetically displeasing, but not necessarily that’ll require loads of money to fix.
Not a fan of granite, especially light-colored varieties, either.
1:44, if you’re going to insult Americans and their grammar, please learn how to spell “surprising”.
1.41, seeing as Americans have given up pronouncing Ts, prefering instead the lazy Ds, its not suprising that we are seeing that spelling.
Pardy on pardner.
I thought I was the only one who doesn’t like granite. I much prefer cement, wood, steel or Carrera marble.
In the “Heard of Fort Greene” – how could you go wrong?
Agreed. Also, check out the side of the building–not too photogenic either. There is a good picture of the side of the house in Property Shark. The facade and side of the building will take loads of dough to restore.
That deck is nice… I didn’t see any lot or floorplans though.
