House of the Day: 174 Clinton Avenue
Perhaps if the seller of 174 Clinton Avenue hadn’t spent so much time ripping open the facade of his historic brownstone and stealing a parking space from the public by cutting the curb, he might not be in his current situation.

Perhaps if the seller of 174 Clinton Avenue hadn’t spent so much time ripping open the facade of his historic brownstone and stealing a parking space from the public by cutting the curb, he might not be in his current situation. (Oh, it also would have helped if he’d priced the property reasonably back in the fall of 2007 back when he, quite astutely, subdivided the through lot into two pieces.) The listing debuted with Brown Harris Stevens in October 2007 at $2,500,000 and was subsequently cut to $1,990,000 in April of last year before being pulled off the market. Now it has re-emerged, post-renovation, with Halstead at the wheel and a new 2009-friendly price of $1,800,000. The interior has been cleaned up considerably and, while a lot of the original woodwork has been preserved, some of the renovation choices (like the exposed brick fireplaces and modern yard) don’t float our boat. That said, this price is back in reality land now. It remains to be seen whether buyers will like the in-house parking feature or lament the foregone rental income that came with that decision.

Interesting how Halstead’s watermark is superimposed over the garage doors.
can you add making the browser window not move all the way to the left when you click through to the programmer’s queue?
I really like it.

“the person who routinely votes as high as possible and banning that person is in the queue of the programmer’s to-do list.
Why dont you get a Median widget instead of an Average?
Do any one think the Asshead owner of this dump wants anything lest that 1.8 million???? This owner will chase that price until the reality sets in and by that time it will be too late!
If you DON’t sell by this summer then forget it! 2010 is going to be very painful to the masses of asses! Interest rates are going up, Game Over!

> “2009-friendly price of $1,800,000”
Good one.
And what will the 2010-friendly price be?
$1,300,000?
It might seem ridiculous to you, but last I checked these polls are still dependent on opinion, and none of us are seers. If the prices seems too low for you to even consider perhaps you should adjust your widget margins.
Are you completely familiar with every block in Brooklyn, Mr. B? Because if not, you seem a wee bit hypocritical at the moment, considering this blog covers real estate all over the borough. It seems I touched a nerve.
Isn’t that across the street from the projects?
We already had strong words several weeks ago for the person who routinely votes as high as possible and banning that person is in the queue of the programmer’s to-do list…Didn’t mean to single out Gracias but he/she admitted that he/she didn’t know the area in the same breath as throwing out a ridiculous number which was a little frustrating.
