there are amazing house’s in Bay Ridge, sadly many have been torn down inc the first Copper House (the inside detail was amazing)…I live down the street from this house which has had a few reductions and will reduce some more I bet, have not been inside but its not the nicest block if your into that kind of thing….
Thanks for the comps 4:33. I checked Property Shark and the three buildings you mention are 2+ feet wider and as you mention 2 out of 3 are 5 story. I am going to take a trip to see it myself on Sunday to satisfy my curiosity.
Have a good weekend.
Anon 2:08. I did say “of that size and type in the vicinity.” There are many like it on Wyckoff Street between Bond & Nevins and a few on Bond Street between Wyckoff and Bergen.
Anon 2:31 very funny about the crappy location-downing. that is the exact same thing people said to me about my house a few years ago and now it is worth over $2M. if you know anything about the building across the street, the neighborhood, what the stadium will do for the community, some good some bad, this “crappy” location is looking like a winner.
black working class people in a neighborhood doesn’t make it “crappy” besides the dealers hang out on grand and putnam!
re: Clermont house is priced right.
223 Clermont sold for $1.8 and 215 Clermont sold for $1.862; granted these are 5 story buildings. 237 clermont sold for $1.675 and is a four story and needed TLC.
Given the comps, i’d say the price is fair.

what is POS?
does anyone else almost daily say to themselves…ahhhh…brooklyn is such a wonderful place. i’m sure a lot of you do, but lately i’ve just had an overwhelming love of this borough.
Here’s the info on a couple of those houses, from a website:
Wealthy industrialists and businessmen were drawn to the area as a summer retreat and built mansions on the Bay Ridge bluffs. Two examples of these extraordinary homes remain. The Howard E. and Jessie Jones House, nicknamed the Gingerbread House by local residents, is a landmarked stone building with a pseudo-thatched roof on Narrows Avenue and 83rd Street. Built in 1916-17 in the Arts and Crafts style rarely seen in New York City, the house offers a glimpse of the fanciful summer cottages that filled Bay Ridge during those years. The second mansion that remains, the current home of the Fontbonne Academy, a private girls’ school, is a relic of Bay Ridge’s heyday as a summer rendezvous for members of high society. Local legend has it that this house was once purchased for the actress Lillian Russell by the high-living financier “Diamond Jim” Brady.
