The four-story house at 135 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights hit the market in January with an asking price of $4 million; after two months with no takers, the price was reduced earlier this month to $3,750,000. It’s a beautiful place that, according to the listing, recently underwent a major renovation that restored the historic details of the house while creating a very nicely done modern kitchen. The price isn’t unusual for the neighborhood, but perhaps the fact that this house is only 30 feet deep is holding it back. Other theories?

Oh, my mom’s house has a laundry shoot. Three floors. We were already too big to try and fit down it when we moved in, but it was still the best.
I definitely agree about the light advantages of a brownstone that’s not very deep, especially when you’re talking about a wide one like this.
The dumbwaiter sounds great. My house growing up had a laundry chute and my 4 siblings and I used to invite the neighborhood children to go down it before my mother got home from work. One kid bunched himself up and got stuck. We called the woman next door who came over with this impossibly tiny hammer to bust him out, I guess. We just started laughing at the kid and he relaxed and went right on through. The chute only went through one floor, though.
worse than dumb waiters are laundry chutes. I once lived in a house with one. Oy! It’s like an ER admission chute.
I like the floorplan very much. It is a nice, genteel family house.
i like this block and the house. it meets my required, bath on every floor rule, so i think the layout is great. of course it’s not in my price range but very lovely. agree with THL about lots of light, it’s a good amount of space. also agree with sam, about dumb waiter – that spells trouble with little ones. i think this price is very high.
Beautiful. And did you notice it has a dressing room with tub in the center, as per BRG’s request? Next Brownstoner party will be on the third floor there.
This home is worth 2.5MM tops!!!
Low Wall Street bonuses = very few multi-million dollar sales.
It’s a nice a house, but after the market fully adjusts a year or two from now, I doubt this house will sell for over two and half million.
“kids + dumbwaiter = 911”
why? because parents could use them to stash their kids after infanticide?
kids + dumbwaiter = 911
