House of the Day: 121 Clarkson Avenue
This house at 121 Clarkson Avenue in PLG that just hit the market looks relatively modest from the outside but the interior photos reveal a nicely laid-out space with lots of original charm. The location is a bit south of the best blocks in the neighborhood, but that’s reflected in the asking price of $585,000….

Loving this house. Don’t know much about the neighborhood though. Maybe I should look there. Add a bath on the top floor and partially renovate the kitchen (I’d keep the built-in hutch/china cabinet – my grandmother had the same one), and you’re good to go.
A really charming house, no doubt.
However, Acris shows it last changed hands for $426,500 on 9/15/08… that was the very day Lehman Bros filed chapter 11. The contract was probably signed at least a couple months before that… why would you pay 37% more now for a place than it was worth prior to the economic meltdown…?
The house is also only 1400 SF. $417/SF is crazy talk for a single-family in this location, no matter how charming… I think something in the low 400k’s makes a lot more sense.
The actual border is Clarkson, blocks can be hit or miss but well priced though
I love this house. Great details and charm. As fun as the super expensive eye-candy real estate porn we see in “better” neighborhoods is, this is the kind of house many of us really want and need. Not too big, not too expensive, not a wreck. I bet this doesn’t sit for long.

“if this baby was in the trendy BK hoods, this is $1M or more”
And if it were in “not-so-trendy” Detroit it’d be $5,000.
Wow – what a cute little house
can you put a bathroom on the main floor
I would totally redo the kitchen and repaint and be good to go!!
how is this nabe?
I am defintely interested in this little house!
Lovely house!
For the price, the interior is wonderful.
And it’s just a couple of blocks from the Q train.
I don’t know the neighborhood, and Google streetview shows that the block is not the nicest looking block, and the house is across the street from some unattractive apt buildings. But nevertheless… the home is very nice-looking for the price!
I thought PLG ended at Parkside?
“if this baby was in the trendy BK hoods, this is $1M or more”
Yes, and it would be in a trendy BK hood, too.
