Someone really went to town on the reno of 262 Clifton Place, a three-story brownstone between Bedford and Nostrand in Bed Stuy. (No, it’s not Clinton Hill.) And while we don’t love all the aesthetic choices, it’s clearly a strong effort. We fear that, given the location, the owner is going to have a hard time getting close to the asking price of $1,300,000. Those are a lot of ducats in this part of town. What do you think?

  1. Not going to comment on the price, but I totally dig the renovation. Perfect layout for a 3 story house and I love both kitchens. I like the bathrooms but I may have done a few things different in them, maybe mixing marble and subway tile instead of all marble but it still looks great. Deck off the parlor a plus. Prob would do a little more landscaping in the backyard for 1 million+
    That parlor with pocket doors into the tasteful kitchen is A+ in my book.
    This house does an excellent job of keeping the historic feel of the house and at the same time adds the much needed modern conveniences.
    I wish more people would take a cue from the renovator.

  2. The only reason Brownstoner isn’t happy with the aesthetics choices is because the house is located in bed stuy. There is such a bias against the stuy on this blog. This is a good street-close to subways and lots of development. The reno is pretty awesome–it has a deck and a nice backyard and the rental is great. I bet the purchaser of this place could get 2k or more a month for that rental.DIBS is right–it IS only a 3 story but it has a finished basement–which sort of adds another story on–I think they are going to get pretty close to ask–1.1-1.2 is my guess.
    Oh how I would LOVE a finished basement and deck…..
