House of the Day: 154 St. James Place
Given what a complete dump this place at 154 St. James Place in Clinton Hill was just a few years (you can see a partial view here), the 12-foot-wide woodframe house looks pretty great. The renovation resulted in a traditional look that was given a little modern zip with the use of dark wood floors….
Given what a complete dump this place at 154 St. James Place in Clinton Hill was just a few years (you can see a partial view here), the 12-foot-wide woodframe house looks pretty great. The renovation resulted in a traditional look that was given a little modern zip with the use of dark wood floors. Given that the two-family house is no more than 2,000 square feet, however, the asking price of $1,325,000 seems a little aggressive to us. Might as well try though.

well its good to know that corcoran agents can’t even do proper comps on their own properties.
Hasn’t that place gone under yet?
You would have to be insane to pay this kind of money for a 12 foot wide woodframe in Clinton Hill, considering what you can get in Ditmas Park at the moment.
Has this house grown since the last time I posted on here?
No….too bad.
Oh lord, those are crazy… $20k for a playhouse!! You can actually get a 2000 sq ft house in a little mill town for that! (well, maybe $40k)
These playhouses are crazy, but at $100 to $130 per sq ft… seems like a bargain!
Good renovation, OK block, but skinny with a silly stoop. With a house this narrow would I be correct to assume the stairs are steep? If gravity is winning in the buttocks department this maybe the place for 900K.

I may spring for this one though, it’s 17 ft.
love it, except for the narrow-ness. i also am not a fan of those kind of stoops for these little houses, but it’s definitely cute. i am curious, though, as to what makes this a “pretty great … traditional look [with] a little modern zip” as opposed to “a traditional style without any of the charm that an older space would have” (see http://bstoner.wpengine.com/brownstoner/archives/2009/03/house_of_the_da_652.php) or “not a look we like: sorta modern but sorta traditional and, as a result, doesn’t really nail either vibe.” (see http://bstoner.wpengine.com/brownstoner/archives/2009/02/house_of_the_da_645.php)
if i can dissect it, brownstoner doesn’t like built-ins, doesn’t like staging that is too perfect, doesn’t like dark furniture and insists on some colors thrown in with his white surfaces. generally, doesn’t like renovations that seem too high-end, particularly in the kitchen.
this 12 footer is starting to look like a seriously good alternative to the house of the day
