Wasder, I know the Clinton Hill house as well. I’ve been inside and would NOT gut the place. It would need a complete mechanical overhall with plumbing and electric, and a convert to a new gas boiler (unless they changed it in the past year).
The best thing about it is (was when I saw it anyway) that it has most of its original detail, including built in cabinets in the original dining room on the ground floor in the front, the marble wash basin area separating the bedrooms on the top floor etc. Hopefully that has not been removed. It would only really work, in my opinion, as a single family, unless you did not have a any children.
Has a lot of potential. The house to the right of it is in nice shape too.
Also, as I recall, pieces of the missing ironwork to the front newall (sp?) post were inside the house. It was with Christmas realty and priced far too high (around 900K, about a year ago). It is most likely older than 1901 as well.
Someone with the means and patience could do really nice things here. Also, this and the other house on this block, are slated to be landmarked in the Clinton Hill landmark extension. Right now, they are zoned R6B.
Drawbacks are the location on Putnam, the empty lot across the street (which I thought was recently bought and will likely be built on at some point). Those those drawbacks may, in the long term, become positives as the area develops (what with the new bakery opening on Fulton between Downing and Irving, the Fulton Street BID etc…
Biff…you made me go back to look.
Wasder – have you been inside the Clinton Hill House? What’s going on with the ceilings? Does it need new mechanicals? I’m too lazy to call the realtor.
BTW – nice chatting with you yesterday.
Re: the PLG home – I can’t decide if I prefer the bowl of fruit or the flowers on the kitchen table. Hmmm…..
PLG house has some great details. Love the paneling in the Dining Room. Those Kitchen cabinets are an eyesore, though.
I know that Clinton Hill house and despite what looks like a great price, it is a gut job type renovation. And not on the most charming of blocks. Could sell for 600 maybe in that condition.
One thing I’m wondering is why they didn’t do custom cabinets in the kitchen when everything else is higher end.
Theres a beautiful old dutch church on flatbush ave, 1700s I think, looking a but worse for wear. I wonder how much older stuff is around there.
That PLG house is amazing. I’m drooling at the pics but I still feel that the neighborhood doesn’t warrant prices this high but it does seem to be a unique property.
