No Sleep 'Til Clinton Hill: Yauch on Washington?
The celebrity drumbeat goes on in Clinton Hill. One open house go-er spotted Beastie Boy Adam Yauch along with wife and daughter admiring the crown moldings and exposed brick walls at 219 Washington Avenue on Sunday afternoon. (Corcoran would not confirm.) The 3,800-square-foot house, which has been on the market for $2,395,000 since the beginning…

(Corcoran would not confirm.) The 3,800-square-foot house, which has been on the market for $2,395,000 since the beginning of May, is just a few doors down from the brownstone that Queer Eye host Ted Allen recently purchased. Decorating tips, anyone?

Sorry, I don’t understand, why do people keep referring to a center hall stair? Maybe I don’t know what that means… please explain. In the floorplans the staircase looks to me like it’s in the exact same place as in my own 20′ home.
A toilet in the shower?
Is that for like multi-tasking?
How very very eccentric.
Anon 10:30, that’s exactly what I’m saying: 2.4 (almost) minus 1.7 equals $700,000, and 1.7 is the highest price I’ve seen in the Hill for a 4-story stone (and that was just a few months ago). I could be wrong, natch. As for the width, I’m the one that was arguing the joint was skinny a week or so ago. I’m not going to argue it much more except to say that I think maybe the floorplan widths are wrong. I went to the open house and it felt wider than my 20-footer. But hey, it ain’t the wand, it’s the magician, right? Or maybe that’s because of the center hall stair?
Hmm.. a toilet IN the shower… It’s dry when you need to use it – it gets cleaned while you shower and offers some extra seating in the shower for the elderly or for sleepy mornings.
Not a terrible idea…
so i asked the broker about the toilet in the shower and she said that the owners wanted it that way…can anyone think of a reason why? Who likes a wet seat?
regardless of the width, the house is beautiful…worthy of a beastie boy. i am a little perplexed about the toilet in the shower but i’d be ok with it– if i could afford it.
Adam is a Brooklyn Heights boy, grew up on state street, father was THE brownstone renovation architect of choice in the 70’s (open floor plans, exposed brick, track lighting, ficus trees), and Adam went to Brooklyn Friends through middle school.
A standard brownstone, like this one, is built on a 20-foot wide lot, That means that after deducting the thickness of the party walls, you’re left with an interior dimension of about 18’8″, slightly more on the top floor as the party walls get thinner.
Actually Mike D grew up on Central Park West, but he went to St. Ann’s
