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.

  1. At the very least, shouldn’t the third and fourth floor be reversed??? I think the DR, EIK and Media Room is a good layout. The more formal parlour floor needs some reworking.

  2. Wow, I’m sorry for the seller. I saw this house when it was listed with Vita Realty last year at $3.2 million. It’s huge. There were many apartments in the building, and they were all occupied at the time. A few grannies lived on the ground floor and the other apartments were rented by a mix family members and other tenants. It was definitely a gut job.

  3. We looked at this house last year. I was excited by the possibilities, my husband terrified by them. We had considered many options, but ultimately walked.

    The plans they have had drawn up are actually similar to some of my architectural sketches, though, I put the kitchen on the parlor floor, with the garden floor as a rental. I digress.

    I find it difficult to imagine they’ll be able to get nearly 3 million in this market for a shell. Even with the plans having been approved (pain in the ass). No way this will be renovated for less than a million. 6,000 sq. feet, while fabulous, is a HUGE renovation.

    Then again, it could happen.
