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’m not an exposed brick fan in this sort of house either. The other negative is the white framed windows (look like white storm windows) and lack of cornice on the front. All can be fixed/restored relatively easily.

    If it was a 2 family (upper triplex with ground apartment and deck of parlor to the garden) I think it would easily fetch the price, especially if the other things I mentioned above were rectified.

    $1.6 would be quite a good deal imo (a bit low actually – but you never know). Look at that Greene Ave. place from yesterday’s big deals post $2.3MM!

  2. But it’s got shiny floors! And methinks I spied a couple of recessed lights in the kitchen. This place will never sell with those atrocities! 🙂

    Seriously, this looks like a nice space, with a beautiful kitchen and garden, and a lot of flexibility in terms of how the owner chooses to use the house. If I were a musician, looking for some rental income to offset the cost of the mortgage, this place would definitely be of interest.

  3. What’s wrong with exposed brick??

    I love it! One of the reasons I bought my place was for the exposed brick…

    I don’t get all the commentary about recessed lighting, exposed brick and granite.

    At all.
