House of the Day: 201 Clifton Place
A couple of weeks ago we were describing the block of Clifton Place between Franklin and Bedford Avenues as “decidely ungentrified” but we may have to dial that down now that we’ve seen this new listing at 201 Clifton Place.

A couple of weeks ago we were describing the block of Clifton Place between Franklin and Bedford Avenues as “decidely ungentrified” but we may have to dial that down now that we’ve seen this new listing at 201 Clifton Place. Turns out that a decade ago someone (with quite good taste) converted this two-story carriage house into a very cool loft-like residence. In addition to the private parking, we can’t get enough of the exposed beams and ceiling; the exposed brick and skylight are also a nice touch. No exact square footage is given but we’re guessing there’s a little less than 2,500 square feet of living space–along with lots of outdoor space. Really well done. At $899,000, this is a heck of a “condo alternative” in our view.

Taxes are a curiousity for sure.
The owner is a designer – builder. I like his aesthetic. More pics on his site (click on carriage house restoration / Brooklyn, NY).

You’re right, ditmas, why is the property tax so high?
I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neat place! It looks like a tinkerer’s paradise. Not really our neighborhood of choice, but otherwise exactly the kind of place for the Maly family.
bed-stuy not clinton hill, no?
Floorplan shows a fair amount of wasted, useless space in the form of “sitting rooms.”
I love it, but the price and taxes seem way out of wack.
very cool
