House of the Day: 125 Willoughby Avenue
This two-family at 125 Willoughby Avenue in Clinton Hill just hit the market a couple of weeks ago with a price tag of $2,100,000. The current owners bought the place for $1,400,000 back in 2005 and have busied themselves with a top-to-bottom renovation since.

This two-family at 125 Willoughby Avenue in Clinton Hill just hit the market a couple of weeks ago with a price tag of $2,100,000. The current owners bought the place for $1,400,000 back in 2005 and have busied themselves with a top-to-bottom renovation since. Things we like: parlor floor moldings, original parquet floor, and the clean modern kitchen. Things we don’t: recessed lighting and exposed brick on the parlor floor, choice of tile in the master bath. It’ll be interesting to see if they get their price on this one.

the house is not worth what they paid for it in 2005. Clinton Hill is the ghetto. It will be intresting to see how long this sits on the market.
Installing a deck or porch
A deck or porch is a raised floor, supported by structural
framing above the surrounding ground at the
level of the first story of a house. The difference
between them is that a porch provides for access to
the building’s primary entrance.
A deck or porch must be constructed without a
roof. An outdoor structure with a roof is not a
deck. It may be considered an additional room, and
different zoning rules and NYC Building Code provisions
apply.
this neighborhood is a glorified ghetto.
there are parts of south central la that look nicer than here.
no joke.
How come no one ever mentions that the amenities in this neighborhood reflect its proximity to public housing? There is not an acceptable grocery store within walking distance, and the restaurants (while cute) are all pretty wretched. There is only one decent upscale store (Thirst) and tons of pipeheads.

It all has to do with what material you build it out of.
So you are saying someone deserves to be assaulted?
“My friend was just mugged…beaten and kicked (front teeth knocked out) on Washington at Willoughby.
And they didn’t take his money…”
Your friend is probably a IPod wearing, walking-around-like-a-tourist, total PUNK (like Mr. Brownstoner). Hoods typically pick on easy victims – people who look soft and are not likely to fight back. Also, if he was not “mugged” if no money or valuable were taken, he was assaulted. Not hard to understand, either.
People can and do get mugged in all areas. But I will say that until a few months ago my girlfriend lived on Willoughby off Adelphi, which is a beautiful corner, but it was always so dark and eery wlkaing down that way towards Clinton (where her friend lived), she got harassed once and scared off a bunch of times – eventually I wouldnt let her walk alone late at night. But I wouldnt let that alone deter me from moving there – that is crazy. Now spending 2 million on that is something else…
