House of the Day: 306 Washington Avenue
This five-story brownstone at 306 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is an impressive place. Owned by the same person for the last three decades, the house has beaucoup original detail—crown moldings, pier mirrors, the whole nine yards.

This five-story brownstone at 306 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is an impressive place. Owned by the same person for the last three decades, the house has beaucoup original detail—crown moldings, pier mirrors, the whole nine yards. The only downer is the fact that it’s a four family house and the three floor-through apartments are generating a measly $3,021 per month. Given the cost of converting to, say, a two-family, the $2,300,000 asking price might be a bit on the high side. What do you think?

“Gimme a break – this house is 3 blocks from DeKalb restaurant row and 2 blocks from Myrtle Avenue”
I like Ici a lot and I like Kif Kif. Bonita is ok for a drink, but the food isn’t great.
The rest I can take or leave.
I see almost no options for groceries, there are very few services in the immediate area and a block or two east gets pretty bad.
Still not seeing the 2 million dollars, when this can be had in Park Slope for the same amount.
I’m not saying it won’t get near the price, I’m just saying that for me, I would not spend this amount for a neighborhood which has been priced as though it’s 2020. Clinton Hill is in for a MAJOR correction. Mark my words.
“SLOPEJACKED again.”
Blame armchairwarrior.
It’s a lame comparison anyway because the only houses in the slope that are comparable are a few 5 stories on 6th ave that were also carved up into rooming houses.
“Pratt’s campus.”
You mean the one currently on lock down because of all the muggings?
how long can we be expected to talk about an overpriced home in clinton hill? the conversation is bound to go elsewhere.
i have two friends who have been mugged within a block of this home within the last 2 months. both were pretty horrible crimes and both went nearly ignored by the police.
“If I’m spending 2 million dollars (in this economy!) I want good schools, good restaurants and bars, good parks and good transportation.
I don’t see ANY of those things in this neighborhood.”
Gimme a break – this house is 3 blocks from DeKalb restaurant row and 2 blocks from Myrtle Avenue — between Fort Greene Park and Pratt’s campus. Clinton Hill may not be the West Village but open your eyes to what is there.
Every home listed on house of the day is RIGHTFULLY compared to other homes in other areas.
Why is it that the second someone mentions Park Slope as comparison (which in this case, I kind of agree…you CAN get a nicer home in a much nicer area for the same price) is it considered hijacking?
We do this in every HOTD. Compare homes in varying neighborhoods. Obviously Park Slope is going to be mentioned on occassion.
You will need to get over it if you plan to continue reading this blog. There are some people who do indeed live in and like Park Slope very much.
“SLOPEJACKED again”
The fact that you (or someone) made up a word about a neighborhood shows that perhaps some people would simply rather talk about it than the highlighted home.
Your comment would prove such also.
And no, I don’t live anywhere near Park Slope.
North of Union, is Berkeley Place, Lincoln Place, Sterling, St. John’s…
All of those streets have terrific access to transportation as well as the park. I consider that entire area from Union, north to be North Slope.
