House of the Day: 271 Jefferson Avenue
Flip-o-rama! This beautiful corner brownstone at 271 Jefferson Avenue traded for just $600,000 back in September and the new owners wasted no time in getting to work in a top-to-bottom renovation that they hope will bring an asking price of–brace yourself–$1,295,000. Sounds crazy, yes, but if they do a nice enough job, not out of…
Flip-o-rama! This beautiful corner brownstone at 271 Jefferson Avenue traded for just $600,000 back in September and the new owners wasted no time in getting to work in a top-to-bottom renovation that they hope will bring an asking price of–brace yourself–$1,295,000. Sounds crazy, yes, but if they do a nice enough job, not out of the question. As a commenter points out in a Curbed post about the new listing two days ago, “It is going to be part of the Bedford Corners Historic district if LPC gets around to it one day.” The triple parlor is particularly impressive, with tons of original detail, including a pier mirror and beaucoup woodwork.

I live on this block. It’s plenty convenient–5 mins to the A train if you are a good walker and there are more and more amenities nearby including Peaches Hothouse on Tompkins and the supermarket at Restoration on Fulton at Tompkins/Brooklyn Ave. The renovation took about 2 months, and they are gone now. I haven’t been inside but the listing is definitely deceptive about the back yard–it’s tiny and if you wanted to park 2 cars there, it’s nonexistent.
The house was originally part of the Concord Baptist Church empire–they had a home healthcare office out of the separate entrance on the Marcy side and once in a while they’d plant some flowers in the back yard or do a cookout. I wonder if the curb cut is legit–they never used it (the contractors did once in a while and got parked in) and the sign on the fence says No Parking 9-5.
At least they didn’t call it Clinton Hill!
