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!

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.

THL, this is to Haunted Houses what Mill Basin and Dyker Heights are to mansions!
I love original details but this house does have a certain Creepy McCreeperton factor to it.
BRG, good one!
“And given the fact that it’s a seven-family building, the deal’s bound to have some hair on it.”
Some long, straggly gray hair, no doubt…
That’s a picture of Mr & Mrs. Taub’s bedroom. If they just moved the beds together.
Whoa, that IS spooky! I’m grooving on the vintage TV console in the living room. Perfect for watching Addams Family reruns. I would offer $1.5MM for the place and demand a complimentary exorcism of the evil spirits. By the way, can one get a ticket for drinking spiked witches brew on the porch? And is this really 10 minutes to Manhattan as the Fillmore website boasts?
I’m having mixed feelings about that ‘porch’. At first I liked it, now I don’t. I don’t think it’s original to the house. I hate the white fence.
Nice rarity. A porch and a stoop. Southern style livin’ in BK. You’d be kinda stupid to pay $1.8M though. Good luck to the seller anyway (like I’m sincere).
I agree the “pocket stained doors” are fabulous. I wish there would have been more pictures.
Hey, did anyone check out any open houses in Fort Greene over this weekend? There were some quiet appealing but I had a paper deadline and couldn’t make it.
That stained glass – WOW!!
That Price – BOO!!
