House of the Day: 139 Clifton Place
Um, no. No one’s going to pay $1,200,000 for this run-down four-story brick house at 139 Clifton Place in Bed Stuy (not, as the listing says, Clinton Hill). The house looks in poor shape from the outside, and the listing makes no mention of any salvageable architectural details on the interior, saying only that the…

Um, no. No one’s going to pay $1,200,000 for this run-down four-story brick house at 139 Clifton Place in Bed Stuy (not, as the listing says, Clinton Hill). The house looks in poor shape from the outside, and the listing makes no mention of any salvageable architectural details on the interior, saying only that the house is a “blank canvas.” Given that the seller paid $675,000 less than a year ago, you gotta wonder what in the world she’s thinking!

Somehow gary cooper and “love” in the same sentence just don’t go. I thought mutant was more appropriate 🙂
Interesting theory. Or perhaps gary cooper is DOWhat and Sarah Palin’s love child?
Hey, thanks Biff. I’m still laughing over Montrose Morris’ line about the Skull and Bones basement.
Gotta say, gary cooper = mutant real-estate bubblehead.
I think she and the What are married.
“”Everyone I knew at Yale was just like me.”
Bush is from there also. I say we close down the school.”
lurker, you just made my day!
Oh Gary, please.
Are you auditioning for the Paris Hilton role in this soap opera?
Couldn’t get into Yale Rep? The Drama Club?
We’re just spreading a little Lux et Veritas, here, toots.
As lurker said, “you just ain’t that important”.
Nah, gc- in Cuba they would have just laughed you off the Island. You really think too highly of yourself. You just ain’t that important. Or that capable.
There will be a bidding war and the house will go for around 1.65 mil.
……………….party like its 2005!!!
Oh thank you Montrosse
you sound like a news anchor vetting a politician.
I don’t give a fig if you think anything I write is
gratuitous. of course it is unnecessary, this is a blog! duh!
I am always amazed at the thin-skinned goo-goos in new York
I’m so grateful this ain’t Cuba, because i would have been arrested by now for rocking the boat and using taboo words like caucasian.
You are a booster for your own selfih real estate interests and yet you act like you are one of the apostles of jesus.
you and the notoriously frumpy townhouse lady.
“I’m doing this to get a rise out of you
complacent brownstone-owning bourgeoisie
who think you are God’s gift to new York, when
actually. by and large, you are self-rightous, self-absorbed, hypocritical, self-interested, boring, people.”
Oh, yeah, right, uh-huh. gary- indeed all of us have user names and I daresay our cyberselves differ more or less from our real world selves. So gary cooper= handle= no surprise. Yawn, babe.
You know, I almost think you might be the What- he claims the same thing but you show such a vast social ineptitude that I daresay even the What has better social skills than you do.
Awww, I know you’re sore and upset. After all when you turned the white hot brilliant beam of your crystal like mind upon us, we didn’t bow down and worship the Ferragamos. Most of the posters here are self-made folk. I don’t always agree with them, but I respect the fact they for the most part they got where they are by hard work and smarts. How you, a self-professed champion of conspicuous and compulsive consumerism fueled by daddy’s money thinks to show them anything is such a hoot!
gotta run. Thanks for the laughs, gc. Don’t let the cyber door hit you on the way out.
