This Weekend’s Fort Greene & Clinton Hill Open House Picks
On the hunt for a new place to live? We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting Fort Greene and Clinton Hill open house listings coming up this weekend. Any thoughts on these places?
396 Vanderbilt Avenue
List Price: $2,700,000
Size: Two-family
Details: Looking for a lot of room, along with some rental income? This four-story brownstone could be for you. The two-family home is currently configured as a 6-bed, upper triplex with a garden-level apartment, and it’s full of original details (such as seven marble mantles and two wood-burning fireplaces). The listing claims it’s got a great deck and backyard, but you’ll have to find pictures of those elsewhere — like on this listing for the home, which most recently sold for $2.2M less than one year ago.
Open House: Sunday, September 27, 12-1:30pm
320 Washington Avenue, #1B
List Price: $1,185,000; common charges $443
Size: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: Here’s a cool opportunity to live in a historic building. The Graham Home for Old Ladies was established in 1851 as a place for “indigent gentlewomen…unfitted to accept willingly the public asylum provided by the state.” These days, you don’t have to be a woman over 60 years old to enjoy the space — you just have to have a chunk of change, and a love details like an en-suite bathroom, big closets, an in-unit washer/dryer, central air, and a shared garden.
Open House: Sunday, September 27, 1-3pm
429 Clinton Avenue, #12
List Price: $785,000; maintenance $944
Size: Two bedrooms, one bathroom
Details: You don’t get the original details or the historic location like the listings above, but this co-op unit looks like a very nice blank slate to put your own mark on. The bathroom was recently renovated, and there are a lot of ceiling fans to keep you cool in the warmer months, but if you need some outdoor space to get even more air, you’re in luck — they’re not private, but you have access to a shared garden and rooftop. Cats are allowed, but sorry Fido, no dogs.
Open House: Sunday, September 27, 12-1pm
165 Clinton Avenue, #5D
List Price: $525,000; maintenance not listed
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: This recently renovated co-op unit looks like a nice choice for the home chefs out there — though it could be a bit narrow (can you ever tell with those wide-angle lens shots?), the kitchen upgrades make it seem like a great spot to crank out a tasty dinner for friends and family. Plus, the corner apartment’s got some sweet views of the neighborhood.
Open House: Sunday, September 27, 12:30-2pm
