House of the Day: 169 Clinton Street
This five-story brick townhouse at 169 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights is a real beauty.

This five-story brick townhouse at 169 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights is a real beauty. The living areas have retained their historic charm and the modernized kitchen and bathrooms appear to fit in tastefully with the original vibe of the house. The 25-foot-wide house, which also comes with two parking spaces in the rear, looks like a very attractive deal to us at $3,200,000. At the very least, it puts Tuesday’s House of the Day to shame. Even in this market, we think this will move. Do you?

Delusions of grandeur….this house needs about 2M worth of work…then maybe it will still fall below the house on garfield that you posted for 8.5M! what the hell is going on..especially in this market? i think the broker needs to get a grip…
I’ve always wondered whether the houses at the corner of President and Clinton have a picture of Bill up on the wall
BRG we really like that GW picture and its placement as well. Heck we will even pay good $ for a well framed portrait like that. Ok we admit we are collectors of old portraits and our best so far is Chairman Mao Zedong:)
Anyways back to the house would it be legal to place a deck above those garages? Need LPC permission first?
Need for sub-zero + vikinng appliances etc. should go right our the door with the need for hummers.
Appliances are very personal, esp. if you’re a cook. I know someone, who researched appliances for months, before deciding.
11233..do share your photos…we can pretend they’re from a kitchen in Dyker Heights and trash them.
Back to HOTD….wonder why they have a picture of George Washington in their dining room?
Roger that, bayridgegirl.
If one were flipping a property, the best bet for resale would be the top-shelf ones you listed. I reckon it’s akin to buying a Range Rover: It’s a gorgeous status symbol with a dreadful repair record (that not every owner, but many, have had trouble with).
Thanks for the info about the movie, Biff. I had no idea.
Fioder, some people have major problems with the appliances I listed, others have had none.
That’s why I said ‘These may not be the best products out there’. And I also left the list open ended by putting an ‘etc.’ It’s a standard I’m referring to. The brands you listed have a professional series that are comprable to the ones I listed.
In a 4 million dollar recently renovated house, you don’t put in GE Profile.
So sorry, I excluded any brands for appliances – as I am not an appliance salesman.
But hope this helps.
Thermador, Dacor, DCS, KitchenAid, Amana, Frigidaire, Five-Star, Capitol, Bertazoni, Viking, Delongi, GE, Jenn-Air, Bosch, LG, Miele, Leibher, Electrolux, Whirlpool, ETC. ETC. ETC. (cause I know I’m excluding alot)
The only thing I would be afraid of w/ GE is they have that division up for sale. Who knows what service will be like in the future.
On topic, I bet they could get $400 ea for those parking spots also
