House of the Day: 182 Clinton Street
How the mighty have fallen. 180 Clinton Street hit the market in a fit of optimism in November 2007 with a price tag of $4,200,000. Despite the buoyant market, it failed to sell. Since then, it’s been delisted twice and had its asking price reduced twelve times. We’re not in love with a few of…
How the mighty have fallen. 180 Clinton Street hit the market in a fit of optimism in November 2007 with a price tag of $4,200,000. Despite the buoyant market, it failed to sell. Since then, it’s been delisted twice and had its asking price reduced twelve times. We’re not in love with a few of the renovation touches but, heck, it’s still a great house. Unfortunately, it was always one step behind a falling market; if only it could have gotten out in front a long time ago, it probably would have sold for much higher than its current asking price of $2,995,000.

putting a powder room into a place this size is easy and cheap.
It’s easy to move the DR to the Parlour Level…you just move the furniture. That tacky bar has to go though.
Beautiful house…It really doesn’t bother me to see the formal dining room on the ground floor because you can also entertain your guest in the garden if you wanted to,but I have to agree a powder room on the ground floor would be nice!
Whoooooa….totally missed the bathroom setup. It is shitty (No pun intended)
Not even a bathroom or powder room on the garden level?!?! Guests can just pee in the bar sink, I guess.
Yeah, bad design decisions overall.
I do like the heights though.
Hey MrB while we respect your opinions a lot you do come off the snobbiest design critic at times. Honestly what do you really like in a townhouse / brownstone design?? No Granite, exposed brick or recessed lighting in this place. Please Mr B enlighten us a little on contemporary design.
We think the main issue with this place is the lack of Palor floor powder room otherwise this house is beautiful in an excellent location…yes BO this location is superior to most in all of Brooklyn.
DIBS we like that en-suite bathroom like there is no tomorrow unfortunately the sellers misjudged the market. Yep even brownstones in top hoods can drop precipitously in value..dommage but that is $1.2M off asking and still appears overpriced. The bears have it hands down!
Yeah…maybe $5-7,000 to put it in with new plumbing.
too easy to put a powder room in to complain about that. This place is sweet!
Maly…you are right. It needs a powder room on either the parlour level or the garden level. You don’t want your guests walking through the master bedroom where they could steal change off of the nightstand nor do you want them to have to traipse all the way up to the top floor.
wow! the high end of the brownstone market is really in bad shape. This house in Brooklyn Heights should be selling way over 2.9 million, and yet it’s not. I guess finance types are keeping a low-profile and putting what’s left of their dough in tax-free bonds and T-bills. Or maybe we are seeing the tide go out as uber-wealthy types re-discover the beauty of mansions with pools and five-car garages in the suburbs. Everything is a cycle and history keeps repeating itself.
