House of the Day: 186 Washington Avenue Revisited
It’s been a tough slog for 186 Washington Avenue, an attractive albeit narrow brownstone on a nice block in Clinton Hill. The listing started out with Aguayo & Huebener in the Spring of 2008 at $1,739,000 before switching to Corcoran with a new price tag of $1,670,000 last September. In November Elliman stepped in a…

The listing started out with Aguayo & Huebener in the Spring of 2008 at $1,739,000 before switching to Corcoran with a new price tag of $1,670,000 last September. In November Elliman stepped in a put a number of $1,600,000 on the house to no avail. In June, the price was reduced to $1,500,000. How long can it go? This is a nice place.

Here is a listing right there and they are asking 24 psft, this place is bigger then a duplex would be in here and nice.
gemini — the price looks fine.
Hard to tell exactly how the apt. is laid out. Looks like it might be 3 rooms (2 bedrooms and one big kitchen/living/dining area). If there is a 4th room, then the price looks better.
I don’t get south of 6th street much, so I don’t know that area as well, but I seem to remember it is OK as long as the expressway is not a visual or auditory nuisance.
I’m mostly looking btwn flatbush and 5th street right now, so the places I’m seeing a bit more exp. than south slope (which is why I said wasn’t seeing much below $2500).
Oven, if your floor thru is a nice condition, loads of details, nice kitchen & bath, ~800 sq ft, then you got a great deal. I’ve been looking and haven’t come across a “Nice” flr thru units in any of the prime BK hood for below 2500. Crappy no detail, etc. yeah, seen those.
ok NSR. fine. you could be right i guess. i guess i should feel lucky. my roommate has been at that place for 6 years tho, maybe that’s why.
*rob*
NSR – I am prob going to go look at this place
5th ave and 16th street 2br for $2300 – worth it? am a sucker for newer kitchens with counterspace

Mopar, the Jersey missionaries only preach in Bedstuy. I think you actually squeeze this building into the one from yesterday.
“and rents for similar things in the area around 2450 as well. ”
rob — I’m not seeing listings for nice 2 bedrooms for under $2500. And most of the ones under $2750 are for 700-800 sq. ft. places or the top floor in a walkup.
You have a sub-market rate apt. Try appreciating that and being grateful rather than insulting everyone who doesn’t have your good fortune.
I pay 2300 for a floor thru in Brooklyn Heights. Only an idiot would pay more then 1800 for Clinton Hill.
Don’t think Brownstoner was making out that this was a great deal, more like asking what it would take to get it sold. I personally think at 1.3 it will move but that is just a guess. In re What’s question about houses closer to Brownstoner’s house, 42 Downing is the only recent sale that I am aware of it that neck of the woods and it went for 1.05 and is smaller than this house on Washington, so as far as I can tell the market value for decently renovated brownstones in Clinton Hill is about 1 million to 1.5 depending on location and size.
