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!). 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…
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?

Maly…what are the real estate tax comparisons between the two? I suspect this house is a lot less.
It’s interesting to read the 2006 post from Minerva about the choice between this house and a grand pad in a mansion on Clinton avenue. There is a 3 bedroom floor through with a deck and backyard in a mansion on Washington for sale at 950k. It’s a big premium for basically a separate dining room and a den. The other issue is that this house is not in the historic district, so while it is very pretty, you’re close to the crenellated craptacular construction at the end of the block.
This is a great looking house.
Like the reno but those bookcases are dispiriting and from the photos looks like they are either holding encylopedias or all of the same books.
Loving the garden and the master bath.
Looks like the fireplaces are original or at least period. Not sure if the crown moldings are. As far as decorating taste though, those bookcases in that dining room are hideous.
DIBS–I put in 1.3 as well. I think that’s a pretty nice location and a great looking house. Love the garden too. Definitely not going to get ask but 1.3 or 1.4 should get it done.
Wow I am surprised that there aren’t any comments about the lack of original details….
Besides that this house is LOVELY and I must agree the renovation is excellent I am downloading pics of this house for my reference!!! The seller should get get 1.5.
