The Julius Liebman Mansion Sells

The Julius Liebman Mansion at 380 Clinton, which the LPC has referred to as “one of the most beautiful houses in Clinton Hill,” just sold for $3,800,000. It went on the market in 2009 for $5,500,000, and a year later the price was cut to $4,500,000. The final price is quite a nice deal for a 9,200-square-foot house on a 13,500-square-foot lot that also comes with a carriage house fronting Vanderbilt Avenue. The home previously belonged to a “faith-based residential program for men and women seeking help to overcome drug addiction,” according to Clinton Hill Blog; it’s unclear how it’ll be used now, but perhaps it will be an extremely spacious single-family? Here are some interior shots from when the home was on the market….swoon!

let’s not go there. 1.) i raised myself and 2.) she got mad benefits doing so. if it wasn’t for me she would never have been able to go to bingo every night and get her hair did once a week.. (seriously)

It’s not racist, rob. You’re sexist. And show me where women make more money than men overall. Prove what you say and stop bitching about how lovely life would be if you were a woman. You think taking care of kids is bliss? Ask your grandmother.

actually women make more money than men these days! seriously, look it up! (i dont really give a crap, sometimes i think they should make more money) but a vagina doesnt make anyone marginalized anymore.

um wrong. if i shat out 4 kids i’d have a nice big ass apartment right now paying 11 dollars a month. the kids would have free health insurance. free food. it’s bliss! yeah kids are expensive, but there are ways to make them worth nothing and to make it financially beneficial to yourself, and lots of people do that. and dont even bother calling what i say racist cuz i knew TONS of white people who did this as well… it’s not a race thing, it’s just a low class thing and tons of people exploit it, of every color of the rainbow. im just sick of people shitting out kids they cant afford, that’s all.

Damn. I have to say, I don’t really like this particular style of arch., but that seems like a cheap price.
And, meh. While the rich annoy me in general, I don’t mind them moving into fancy formerly-owned-by-the-rich houses, esp. when the previous tenants are living elsewhere in a building which may better serve their needs (houses aren’t a great fit for non-house use unless you really reconfigure them… and this place has enough historical detail to make reconfiguring it sort of unfortunate).
I am sad that, if the organization was who owned the joint, they didn’t get a better price for it: this seems like a steal.
I read that the first “Teen Challenge”, was at 416 Clinton Avenue in BK, started by David Wilkerson. At the time “Teen Challenge” obtained that mansion (416), it had been filled on every floor with garbage by a care-taker with a penchant for hoarding. It took the teens a long time to eliminate all of the junk and restore the building to usable condition.
Wilkerson is the one who wrote the book, “The Cross and the Switchblade”, about ministering to gangs in Bed-Stuy, in about 1958. For many years he was the pastor at Times-Square Church at about 51-st and Broadway, NYC. I think he is quite old now and possibly partly retired. I got there for a few of his sermons a long time ago.
it is a big house by NYC standards but similar to ones in Ditmas Park and Bay Ridge not to mention nabes in other boros like Forest Hills Gardens, Douglas Manor, Riverdale, Fieldston etc etc. not everyone live small in NYC.
Unless there’s some kind of zoning restriction, there’s (re)development potential in this property. Condo’s? Rentals? Clinton Hill B&B? If I had to guess, I’d prob say condos. You could prob sell off the carriage house for close to a mil and then live in/develop the main house and make like a gazillion dollars.
