House of the Day: 423 Clinton Avenue

This unusual brownstone at 423 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill could be an amazing place—the architectural details on the interior look incredible, despite the gloomy exterior—but it’s gonna take some work! And given the fact that it’s a seven-family building, the deal’s bound to have some hair on it. (The listing does say that the 3,750-square-foot house will be delivered empty and there’s no mention of it being and SRO, so maybe our caution is misplaced.) Despite the house’s potential, we think the $1,800,000 asking price is a stretch given how much money the new owner will have to spend on renovations. We just hope it will fall into the hands of someone who really cares.

strip off the one in front of the price and they may be getting into realistic territory. what a joke.
Who said I liked the exterior, especially the porch? Au contraire, pierre! It’s not original, and looks rather absurd on the classic brownstone facade. Love the inside, though. I always wanted to own the haunted house on the hill.
pas de probleme Biff. We think this thing should really be max $1.2m if it is indeed an SRO plus that porch still bothers us but some folks may like it.
“And is this really 10 minutes to Manhattan…?”
Yes. By broom.
While making fun of Fillmore for advertising “pocket stained doors”, why not pile on about their use of the letter “s”:
“…located in the prime area of Clinton Hills”
“X-Street Green & Gate Aves”
+1 and -1, I guess it’s a wash.
Oh mon dieu, pierre! Pas une chance. I’m not saying this place doesn’t have potential, but I just don’t think it’s a good time to buy a fixer upper like this unless it’s in the most primo area.
Love the house, hate the price. Is that a fireplace on a back wall between two windows? I’ve never seen that in a brownstone before. Great, if so. I happened upon a fantastic fixer-upper yesterday at 875 St, Marks, but you’d need alot of money as well as fortitude to fix that one up!
Hey Biff you weren’t serious about offering $1.5m were you ?
We like the interior a lot but not as bullish on the exterior as MM seems to be. That porch looks like a later addition prior to landmarking.
Nice street though and lots of space.
So true Biff!
