House of the Day: 24 Clifton Place
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…
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,

3:16 = broker.
you wouldn’t care if there was a chalk outline out front when paying almost 2 million dollars??
you are a whackjob.
Ronnie is hot. I would love to view his listings!
I can’t wait for Brownstoner to put his house on the market and see everyone gripe about it!!!! I guess the reaction will be similar to the “thin skin” he had about people who said his furniture was ugly……
You people are insane. Such Neo-Brooklyn but snobbish nonetheless. This is a great block. The brick is lovely and a “real” brownstone has the same layout/floorplan. It will sell. A block from the train in the cherished Pratt Clinton Hill area. The seller has nothing to worry about. I wouldn’t care is there was still a chalk outline on the sidewalk out in front this place. It is far better than some of the other crap on the market for far more.
Our 1875 Brownstone in CH had stencils on the walls in the front parlor and hallway of what remained of the plaster. None of these houses were originally made to have exposed brick and I agree with 2:15, although I am not a strict traditionalist. These houses were made to be grand, not like a converted industrial loft.
do potential buyers know what a drug riddled neighborhood they would be buying into? the corner of Clifton and Grand is far from safe or quiet; just hang around there some evening. at least the old East Village was cheap when it was a drug destination.
a different kind of brick problem it seems.
Fascinating that you’re all debating about recessed lighting and exposed brick with the entrenched activity a couple doors down. Come back at midnight and check out the fighting, screaming, blasting SUVs, etc. And if you buy, plan on sleeping in the rear of the house, budget for bullet proof vests, and forget about calling the 88th.
But then again, if Corcoran says it’s a quiet block, maybe they know something the locals don’t.
2:49 in my personal experience it is typically plaster.
Another junk floorplan with the kitchen on one floor and living room on the other. Who lives like that?
And a laundry that’s bigger than most bathrooms?
And no space for a dining table?
