There’s a lot to recommend this three-family brownstone at 24 Clifton Place in Clinton Hill—beautiful old floors and moldings, a new kitchen—but, unfortunately, price isn’t one of them. Even without the unfortunate exposed brick, this place seems to us to be a big stretch at the asking price of $1,750,000. Clifton Place certainly has its charms but in this market, we’re thinking that $1,600,000 is a more likely number. That said, the three-story house next door did sell for $1,370,500 last year, so it’s not impossible. Those were different times, though,

  1. I would love to see people’s house on this board. I’m sure it’s not even close to being as nice as this place on Clifton.
    Sort of like when fat ugly people have the nerve to call Britney Spears fat.

    Anyway, exposed brick is great but it doesn’t work in every room. And the masonry and the brick color have to be done well.

  2. I remember similar houses on this block being priced at 1.2 two or three years ago. Since I couldn’t afford any of these prices, I can’t really judge whether they are right or not. I love that neighborhood – my favorite bar – Grand 275 – is right around the corner. Also Choice. The drug activity at Clifton and Grand seems much reduced. This whole swatch of the neighborhood (South East Clinton Hill) has a lot of houses on the market, most on worse blocks or in worse shape than this. If you actually wanted to live in the neighborhood and were able to spend 1 million plus might seem to make more sense to buy one of those and renovate yourself.

  3. This is not a $2 million property. They are ASKING $1.7. Big difference.

    4:51: I don’t know what planet you live on, but you can’t buy a house of this size for $750K anywhere in Brooklyn except a few places miles to the east of this in some less desirable neighborhoods.

    Can the tweens please stop postng here and go back to their MySpace pages.

  4. “Could some explain why a two bedroom apartment with the kitchen and LR on different floors plus landlord duty should sell for anything over $750,000 in any neighborhood in Brooklyn?”

    Because they cost 2-20 million 15 minutes away in a little place called Manhattan…
