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
really, how bad was that McMansion a couple of houses from this that it went 4 the speculated 1.8M? or is this 5.5M is someone day dreaming again?
Anyone went inside this place before?
Mr B–if the carriage house and lot is the one I am thinking of its a pretty massive piece of property at least in Brooklyn terms right? There are a couple of really nice carriage houses on Vanderbilt behind this building and I am just trying to picture which one goes with this house.
I’m sure it’s very nice from the inside, if slightly dark.
If Pratt needed another building, it could make a great library or reception hall, but I think they already own many of the more beautiful mansions on Clinton.
tough crowd! this isn’t our favorite style of architecture, either, but we wouldn’t kick this place out of bed for eating crackers either. think of the entertaining you could do on that parlor floor!
If there were pics I bet a lot of opinions^^^^^^^ would be different!!!! I want to see that huge center staircase.
it would make a very nice funeral parlor.
OK, we have an official brownstoner thumbs down.
Neo-clunky is it!
The Federal style is just the opposite of this.
It is super-graceful, attenuated, and elegant.
The best Federal mansions are in Salem, Mass.
This is provincial looking. More Sioux City than Salem.
But it is nice and roomy.
And it comes with its own carriage house. That is something. Is the carriage house nice?
Whaddaya mean no pictures? Not my favorite style either, but I wanna see the interior!
