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!

This looks like a little dump of a house in Camden, NJ.
Is this really in Bed Stuy? I have heard that there are really nice houses there, built generations ago for well-off persons of the caucasian persuasion.
This does not look all that nice to me.
Sorry folks but this listing is simply garbage (blank canvas in high foreclosure hood) and was overpaid for even a year ago. Real worth is around $500K and thats for the really brave risk taker. Location location or seller what are you smoking?
Like MM pointed out above there are pristine mansions in better locations that aren’t selling for $1.2m Does the seller really think people will just pluck done $1.2m without research? Ce de la folie ici, Merde! Where is the What when you need him?
Same price as Friday’s House of the Day in Crown Heights. Hmmmm……
CH house: freestanding on huge lot, architecturally and historically significant, large landscaped backyard and deck, completedly updated systems, move in condition, new kitchens, bathrooms, finished cellar, period details and charm for days.

maybe the two red ones side-by-side come as a package
I visited a friend yesterday in Stuy Heights and she paid a lot less for a lovely brownstone that needed work, but far less than this house needs. She has gorgeous fireplaces, incredible ceilings, detailed woodwork and tile- the codition of the house is far superior to this one from what I can tell from the picture. And she has location, location, location to boot.
I agree with prior posters, she overpaid for the house last year when they bought it.
A gut remodel in the heart of Bed-sty, 550K tops.
Except, TownhouseLady, I’m suspecting the wicker furniture in this bathroom is of a much lower quality than what was in the Dyker Heights “Mansion”.
Why does the broker even bother? If some dupe came along and offered $1.1 million, the bank would decline the mortgage based on the prior sale price.
Why is The What is selling his house?
