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. The only downer is the fact that it’s a four family house and the three floor-through apartments are…
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?

That place is worth $3m easily. I might just make an offer today. Should probably bid $3.5 so I’m not in a war. Maybe $4m.
“A village where the kids from the local projects like to violently attack and rob the newcomers maybe.”
Yup, good friend was just attacked last week on Dekalb. Gang of teens. Knocked him to the ground, kicked him incessantly, knocked all his front teeth out and didn’t take his wallet.
Sounds like a lovely village. He’s moving to Park Slope this weekend.
SLOPEJACKED again.
“the north slope houses near the park i’ve been looking at have been near or over 3 million.”
There really are no north slope houses near the park. North slope is north of Union which runs into the park. I suppose you could be claiming you are only looking at houses on Berkeley and Lincoln between 7th and GAP. I think you are really talking about center slope above 7th ave. where most houses are initially listed at or above $3M, but many are closing a little lower. Moreover, they do not have 5 stories like this one.
I agree that the North Slope is terrific. It is my favorite area of Brownstone Brooklyn (my girlfriend lives there)…Berkeley Place, President Street, Lincoln Place…doesn’t get much better for me.
I’m hoping to move out of my West Village 1 bedroom rental to move in with my gf in the fall. I can’t wait.
“Wow, you people sure are greedy and spiteful. Thank goodness for rent stabilization. I wish the renters a sweet long life in this place.”
What’s greedy about not wanting to let someone live in your property when the rent they pay does not cover their portion of the upkeep of the building or the utilities they use?
This are does nothing for me. I wouldn’t mind it for maybe a million bucks, but for 2???
HELLZ TO THE NO!!!
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.
“North Slope house? You obviously haven’t walked around CH/FG. Much quiter, a villiage feel with better brownstones and fewer, but better, restaurants also.”

The website just list buildings that were ever rent control/ stabilized. It still has 92 gates listed even though they have not been rent controlled for two years.
