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?

“The two grocery stores on Myrtle are pitiful and show you how ghetto the neighborhood really is.”
Well I’m a hated Park Sloper, and I don’t think one can determine what a neighborhood is like by it’s grocery stores.
If that’s the case, the Key Food on 7th Avenue is more indicative of a 3rd world country, than an affluent New York City neighborhood.
and you have go into the public hallway to go downstairs…what if you’re a nudist.
In the duplex…on the lower level, you have to walk thru a bedroom to get to the other bedroom.
By what i read in many of these posts lately it would seem that CH / FG is a warzone!! Does crime happen anywhere else in NYC? By the looks of it all crime has ceased in all of Brooklyn and Manhattan and created some sort of Demonic Hellmouth in Clinton Hill…..HONESTLY IS IT THAT BAD!!! (Or should I say is it that good in another neighborhood..)
So some Slopers are a little over-eager.
It’s not a big deal, really. In person, I don’t find them especially pretentious. Quite the opposite, actually. They just seem a little hippy dippy and excited about stuff that not everyone else is excited about.
Good for them. They do take a sometimes unfair beating in the press and on these blogs, so I don’t knock them for giving a shout out to their hood from time to time.
Give it a rest with the slopejacking stuff. At least PS doesn’t have “the What” representing Clinton Hill in the community spirit department.
Does anyone have a rational explanation for why this house would be worth more than $600,000?
Any theory at all — comparative sales, replacement cost, rental value (those are the methods used by appraisers), urban mythology, neighborhood chauvenism, the superiority of brownstones to tulips as residences (although at the peak, someone used a tulip bulb to buy an Amsterdam canal house), the bliss of abandoning a tanking stock market.
Just something that qualifies as an argument with some respect for the normal rules of logic or verifiable fact.
i have lived a half block away for several years and walked around all times of the day and night and never have had any problems. it’s quite scary to hear about this violence happening right nearby. does this violence happen as much as people say it does?
Fort Greene restaurants are a joke! Ici is acceptable, Stone Home Wine Bar is sometimes poor, sometimes better than it has to be, and thats it! Period. The rest of the stuff is overpriced garbage. The two grocery stores on Myrtle are pitiful and show you how ghetto the neighborhood really is.
At this price, it only sells to someone who is planning to evict illegally. Does that make the seller party to the predictable tenant harassment?
