House of the Day: 66 Clifton Place
The four-story brownstone at 66 Clifton Place was purchased in 2006 for $1,265,000 and was subsequently renovated quite thoroughly and nicely (recessed lighting notwithstanding!).

The four-story brownstone at 66 Clifton Place was purchased in 2006 for $1,265,000 and was subsequently renovated quite thoroughly and nicely (recessed lighting notwithstanding!). Unfortunately for the owner, timing is everything and it’s hard to see how she’s going to get her money back now that she’s decided to sell. Since we live just a couple of blocks away, we’ll be thrilled if she can get the asking price of $1,595,000 but it’s hard to see how a house on that block fetches that high a price in this market. Agree?

One Reader’s Comparison Shopping in Clinton Hill [Brownstoner]
It’s called decadence, bkrules. If you can achieve it at $1.2 MM I say it’s a pretty good deal, especially with two more bedrooms upstairs!!!! I think for this price, this place has all the bells & whistles.
I’d just like to see how difficult it is to serve the formal dining room from the kitchen. Is there a dumb waiter?? Are the stairs that much of a pain??
I dunno…I’d rather have a smaller bathroom and have two bedrooms on that master suite floor. Is that crazy? It just seems like a huge waste of space.
Oh, for heaven’s sake. Please, PLEASE show me one condo with a master suite that nice and that large. PLEASE! If this is cookie cutter I’m not black dammit.
“Hardly condo standard issue. The master bath alone is heads above most new construction.”
Don’t see it at all. But seen one boring kitchen, seen em all.
Hardly condo standard issue. The master bath alone is heads above most new construction.
“The kitchen and master bath are cookie-cutter, McBoring, standard-sissue WBurg condo, characterless reproductions. ”
Show us some condos with this quality.
“they” always say 20 feet is standard but the majority posted here as well as where most folks i know live is between 17-20ft. most averaging 18.5 feet.
i used to live in a 20×100 and there is really not much difference in a 18×100. depending on the layout – it can pretty much feel the same.
20 feet wide is the standard, so 18 feet is officially “narrow.”
Why do people like the reno so much? The kitchen and master bath are cookie-cutter, McBoring, standard-sissue WBurg condo, characterless reproductions. If that is what you want, you can it get it half-off at any number of highrise condos all over the city. Or in any McMansion in the burbs for that matter.
18 feet is narrow? where do you live in a 25 footer?
