House of the Day: 100 Lefferts Place Revisited
When the listing for 100 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill first hit the BHS website last March, it didn’t have any interior photos.

When the listing for 100 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill first hit the BHS website last March, it didn’t have any interior photos. Since we happen to know that this broker is a straight-shooter, we were willing to take her word that it had “extensive period detail,” but sometimes there’s no substitute for actually seeing it. In the meantime, the owners of the 6,100-square-foot have held firm with their asking price of $1,800,000, which some commenters thought was pie-in-the-sky last go-round. Do these interiors change the equation?

If I were owner I wouldn’t settle for much less.
Too big for single family. That would be more ungreen then having fleet of Hummers.
The house definitely has potential, I’m not saying otherwise, but it is priced as if its potential had already been reached. In reality there is a hard road ahead for whoever invests in it, whether they redevelop it as a multiple dwelling or convert it back to a single family home.
The nay-sayers are so short-sighted. Look around you. This neighborhood has all the ingredients to be highly desirable: superb brownstones waiting to be renovated; excellent transportation links (subways and Atlantic Avenue); Fulton Street being restored with public money; leafy streets with mature trees. Yes the downturn is definitely going to slow the process down, and there continue to be negative elements that others in this string have already noted. But the trend is what matters. The process of rejuvenation is inexorable. Whoever buys this beautiful house will do very well in the medium to long term.
dave…there is a glimpse of a kitchen in the photo with the fireplace..looks like a home depot special.
ontheparkway…believe it or not, some people do live large.
I was hypothetically saying how it can be turned into a grand one-family. Is this what is going to happen to this house? Probably not.
I never said anything about the neighborhood. But I agree this is in a so-so area.
Good point daveinbedstuy…the others kitchens and baths must be in horrible condition.
If that’s the best looking kitchen then I wonder how bad the other kitchens and the bathrooms might be.
BklynHouseLover…thats how rumors get started!!
Damn, that thing is BIG!
Brownstoner always features Joan Goldberg’s listings. Often several times over. I wonder what’s up with that?
