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.

  1. So if a guest needs to use the bathroom, should they go through the master bedroom and the closet to enjoy the side by side toilets, or should they go to the kids’ bathroom on the 4th floor?

  2. It would have been wiser to have installed a dumbwaiter and used the ‘living room’ as a dining room with a deck overlooking the garden with access down to it.
    And why does one bedroom have a walk-in closet and not the other? Is that bedroom for the stepchild?

  3. At the risk of sounding contrarian, I’m not loving this house – not the kitchen, the Wet Bar, the bathroom (even though it is en suite, a definite plus), or even the garden. And I don’t think it’s a great location – not only is it one block from the very busy intersection of Clinton & Atlantic, but there is Manhattan-bound traffic going past the house pretty much 24/7. Personally, I prefer the side streets or the “Place” blocks in Brooklyn Heights.
