Co-op of the Day: 358 Clinton Avenue
We’ve always liked this co-op building at 358 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, mostly for its charming entryway.

We’ve always liked this co-op building at 358 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, mostly for its charming entryway. This 900-square-foot two-bedroom apartment has clearly been renovated recently, and overall it looks like they did a nice job. The layout’s a little funky, with the second bedroom stuck back behind the kitchen, but the space has two exposures as well as 9.5-foot ceilings. The asking price of $599,000 seems optimistic in this market but given the condition not impossible.

price is very fair
saw this apt on the weekend. it was pretty special actually – overlooking the courtyard, so no traffic noise from vanderbilt. it had nice light & all the fittings were solid & good quality. the open plan makes it feel bigger than it is. so yeah – asking price seems fair to me considering 2 br co-ops on clinton & myrtle have been going for 500 & 550.
If you look at this as a 1-br with study or office, I don’t think it’s a bad deal. There are a lot of couples or single people who would like this sort of layout. I do like the kitchen from what i can see. don’t know about comps. but a nicely renovated move-in condition place has got to command some sort of premium.
As for maint. spiking, well, if heating oil continues to rise, yes. But everyone’s energy costs have soared in the past year, whether it’s your car in the burbs or your oil burner in a brownstone.
Hey suburbandude, you can get a 2 bedroom in Lincoln, Nebraska for 80K.
What is your point?
No, burb’dude. Unhide the other costs (taxes, transportation, etc.).
It seems like a better deal than those new condos in Park Slope yesterday…
Welcome to the Clinton Hill Co-op Houses…
I love brownstone Brooklyn. But in Westcheser County a larger superior pre-war 2BR apartment (one that does not have the 2nd bedroom behind the kitchen) in a great community with a great school district and a great downtown, and where you can walk to the train and park your car on site, goes for half this price. I get the premium, but not the 100% premium.
ultimately i think it comes down to what kind of space you want to live in. this is a top floor corner pre-war apartment and that means something in re market value.
