House of the Day: 370 Clinton Street
A victim of the downturn? Given the timing and circumstances of this new listing at 370 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill, it sounds like the seller is in trouble.

A victim of the downturn? Given the timing and circumstances of this new listing at 370 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill, it sounds like the seller is in trouble. She closed on the 6,000-square-foot house last September for $2,650,000 and in the last four months has gutted the interior and commissioned complete architectural drawings for a planned make-over. The plans are part of the package for anyone willing to come up with the asking price of $2,995,000. It is a pretty exciting opportunity for someone who wants to create a living space from scratch: great location, beautiful shell. The only question: Price.

Then the grannies laughed all the way to the bank. Good for them.
Two old ladies living together in a house might not have actually been grandmothers if you know what I’m saying.
Remember that line in On Golden Pond about the bear eating someone???
Snappy, you there???
In that case, the grannies made out like bandits. It was a good time to buy in Florida or Vegas. They’re timing the market like pros.
BRG, there was very little detail, if any at all. Maybe some moulding in the parlor floor, but not much. The rest of the building followed the lead of the front door you see in the listing photo. It was really more of an apartment building, not a house at all.
I should have specified that the grannies WERE THE OWNERS, if I recall correctly. They made out just fine. The grannies were renting out the units to their extended family and a few other tenants.
Propertyshark has this building at 25′ X 60′ for a total of 4,500. At 6,000 sq ft these numbers are not wildly ridiculous but at 4,500 they certainly are.
“If the owner bought this place in September and has already vacated the apartments then dear old granny got a nice buyout.”
That is the upside of capitalism. I just hope the grannies didn’t buy in Florida or Vegas.
If the owner bought this place in September and has already vacated the apartments then dear old granny got a nice buyout. There’s no other way to clear a building that quickly.
OK Fine! I’ve awarded the dimwit baseball cap.
As long as I get to award it tomorrow.
