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 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]
The owners have great taste, this is almost as pretty as that gorgeous house in Boerum Hill. The location and the market are going against them though. I would be surprised if they got more than what they paid in 2006, perfect reno notwithstanding.
Lovely house – not sure of the final price. But I too can’t see, with that renovation, how they can avoid losing money.
oooh is it that high? im so buying a ticket. if i win im so buying the clock tower penthouse and turning it into an upscale brothel.

Market bottom price: $0.65M. Anybody spare that much to lose?

It’s got central air so the appearance of the vents will be more diseturbing than any recessed lighting, which all looks to be very small lights and not those big cans anyway.

What’s wrong with recessed lighting?
i think brownie thinks it’s too suburban or something, yet fails to realize that most houses renovated/decorated in nyc these days are more suburban than the suburbs!
