This Weekend’s Fort Greene-Clinton Hill Open House Picks

We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting open houses happening around Fort Greene and Clinton Hill this weekend. Any thoughts on these places?

274 Vanderbilt Avenue
Price: $2,695,000, listed by Core
Size: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms
Details: A two-family, 3,600-square-foot brownstone, you could turn it into a triplex with a rental on the garden level, a double duplex, or just use it as a single-family home. There are some lovely details, from inlaid floors to crown moulding, and there’s a pretty nice little garden in the back. Because there are no pictures of kitchens or bathrooms, and as the listing calls it “

an opportunity to update a classic,” we’re guessing you’ve got some renovations ahead of you, though.

Open House: Sunday, August 24, 12-1:30pm

260 Greene Avenue, #260-1
Price: $1,200,000, common charges $749, listed by Halstead
Size: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms
Details: This is a very modern duplex with a lot of space indoors and outdoors — just off the rec room, there’s a private patio that fits right in with that modern aesthetic. In the just-opened Cooper House, where properties went on the market back in March, this appears to be the last unit not yet in contract.
Open House: Sunday, August 24, 2-3pm

168 Washington Park, #4
Price: $869,000, maintenance $590, listed by Blu Realty Group
Size: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
Details: A co-op unit (pictured above) that boasts a “

wall to wall shoe closet that can hold up to 150 pairs of shoes.” There’s also a wine cooler, built-in wood shelves for your own private library, white epoxi floors in the living room, and you’re right across from Fort Greene Park.

This unit sold last year for $735,000 — and while it’s quite a nice space, do you think it’s increased in value that much?
Open House: Sunday, August 24, 11:30am-12:30pm

361 Clinton Avenue, #11G
Price: $415,000, maintenance $907, listed by Brown Harris Stevens
Size: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
Details: Compared to the listings above, this is a pretty no-frills apartment (in a building that was originally constructed to house Brooklyn Navy Yard workers), but it’s got what you need, including a little dining area off the living room that you could potentially convert into a small office or bedroom. Plus, you’ve got an excellent view from this 11th-floor perch. The building is pet-friendly and has 24-hour security.
Open House: Sunday, August 24, 1-3pm
