The brownstone condo conversion at 473 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill hit the market about five weeks ago, and so far none of the three units have found a buyer. The listings include a top-floor mini-loft for $629,00, lower duplex for $1,275,000 and an upper duplex for $1,195,000. The renovation, while not preserving every detail, appears play up some of the larger architectural elements like the window, door and chair railing moldings. (The recessed lighting lovers out there will also be pleased.) The location’s pretty good too, less than a block from the C train. The pricing is pretty high on a per-square-foot basis for the area, but it also looks like a much better job than some of the other brownstone conversions nearby. Time will tell.

This looks like a cute, unpretentious house for a normal family. But it has been cut up into apartments for three millionaires. Honestly, man, that is why NY is fucked up. Why would someone with plenty of cash want to share this little middle-class house with two other rich, obnoxious families? Hello?
Is there intelligent life in the Brooklyn real estate universe? Unbelievable. How young, and stupid, and rich would one have to be to lay down a million bucks for part of an old, rather dumpy, bourgeoise house in a not very nice part of brooklyn NY?
I give up.
It is too inane.
Hard to argue with your logic Miss Muffett.
Sebb – what do you make of the fact that the value of this property is clearly going down, as per price cut today? This is why, when you say that people are losing money each day they are not buying, I (and many others) say that on the contrary, we lose money by buying too soon when the market is going down, as such price cuts clearly demonstrate.
Streeteasy shows a price cut as-of today 10/23.
new2bk – maybe you’re seeing the 1st pass at a economic-meltdown discount!
Brownstoner, Can you check the prices on the units? When I click through to the r.e. website, they seem different (lower) than the ones you’ve posted.
“You want 40% off . Move to Vegas not here not now.”
Paying anything more, here and now, IS VEGAS!!! Unfortunately, what happened on Wall St. will not be staying on Wall St. Sebb and flow back to reality.
This house was selling as an SRO in 2005 for $850k. Should the units sell near ask the sellers may stand to make some money.(Even with the illegal roof addition that was in turn removed again due to lack of permits) It’s a close walk to the methedone clinic.
600k for a walk up ghetto studio? why not make it a million? think big, yo!
