seems to me that 2.2 million isn’t a bad price for that locale. even if it needs a lot of work.
as someone said, seems that fully renovated homes in the neighborhood are going for around 3 million, so 800K less for an unrenovated one seems fair. certainly won’t cost that much to do the place up nice.
i don’t know…i guess i’m still one to compare to manhattan, where 2.2 million buys you a crappy 3 bedroom condo at ariel on the upper west side.
3:49- that makes sense but not when places are priced at $2.2mm. For that price, you would hope that the home had the semblance of livability!
“inding an old home and being able to restore it back to its former glory is what got many people interested in this site in the first place, is it not?”
True, but asking fully renovated prices for incomplete renovations is bitchworthy, no?
Also, you can always send your children to private schools, so that they don’t have to get too close to the diverse, salt-of-the-earth mixed-income children, who you are secretly terrified will cut them in the hallways. But don’t worry, you’re still better than the snobs of Park Slope!
BRILLIANT!!!
HA.
You can get 398 Lafayette around the corner for 1.1M if you want to live this close to the projects. The house has a lot of original detail and seems much nicer than 22 clifton.
As for those arguing about violent crime, people get hurt by people they know – just like the poor guy in CH and the guys from outside PS who has the knife fight in PS.
If you aren’t afraid of black people or are black and have 1-2M (which nobody ever seems to consider here), then CH can be a great neighborhood.
People, people, it is abundantly clear by now that Clinton Hill is the brownstone neighborhood of choice for the enlightened wealthy. There, you can live in a house and become involved in a diverse, salt-of-the-earth mixed income community.

The WT house is actually zoned for 130, not 154. Still a good school, just sayin’.
i can’t understand all the people who bitch about having to do renovation work on brownstones.
wasn’t that kindof the inspiration for this entire site?

We saw the PS house a few weeks ago and it is in terrible, terrible condition. It needs to be completely ripped and replaced inside, in my opinion. It was truly scary. I guess that explains the lower price (when compared with the $2.8-$3+mm places in similar locations). I still think the price seems high but maybe not when compared to some of the other prices out there.
But seriously- you have to have the stomach (and pocketbook) for ridiculously high amounts of renovation if you’re gonna make the place work. The photos are deceiving.
