The 1909 neo-Federal mansion at 378-384 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill has just hit the market with an asking price of $5,500,000. The 9,200-square-foot house is located on a 13,500-square-foot lot and comes with a carriage house fronting on Vanderbilt Avenue. Called “one of the most beautiful houses in Clinton Hill” by Landmarks Preservation Commission, 380 Clinton Avenue was built for Julius Liebman, an heir of the brewing company that later became Rheingold, by the architectural firm of Herts & Tallant, which also designed the Brooklyn Academy of Music. There was a small fire on the second floor last spring. The listing broker is Crosstown Companies; there’s nothing on the firm’s website, but you can call 718-937-8100 if interested. GMAP
boofer, you may be right, it was quite a number of years ago. The house I was in was definitely a men’s dormitory.
dittoburg that is spot on. You gave me a good laugh. Thanks.
I had a semi-detached years ago in Shepherd’s Bush, but beggar can’t be choosers, eh?
The front parlor has a big beautiful mantle. The stair is wide and dark wood. Not spectacular but very solid. Most of the rooms except the front parlor to the left of the door had accousic tile drop-ceilings. They were battling roof leaks when I visited to assist the philanthropy. It is an expensive property to maintain. I hope they get a good price for it.
gwbrubaker – if you are English then perhaps you’ll agree with me it looks like a North London branch of a Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
Ditto the comments re. some trellis work and suitable climbing plants. the brokers better get down to Home Depot.
Actually, Sam, this is the women’s residence. The men’s is between Greene & Gates.
There is a wonderful veranda on the back end of it.
this yard is definitely not paved. Its a big wooded garden.
Sam are you sure you’re not thinking of a similar looking brick house down the street that you were in? I live next door to another brick mansion owned by teen challenge with a paved backyard and basketball hoops. When I looked at this house through the back by the carriage house I didn’t notice it being paved. The back of the house does look really nice.
I’m English and I’ll take it! Please, Sir, may I have this one, please!
It has some institutionalised attributes to it, but there is still some gold in this one. I live next door to it, and just want this to be mine, restored to its former glory, and let me and my brother take care of the garden!
And I sincerely hope that it is not broken up into apartments.
floating world: wow! we had the same thought simultaneosly.
Climbing roses. That’s the ticket!
