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

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

448 Lafayette Avenue #PH (Sponsored)
List Price: $825,000, $227 common charges
Size: Two bedrooms, one bathroom
Details: This penthouse condo in a Franklin area doorman building features sleek floors, cabinets, and other finishes, as well as stunning views of Manhattan from every room, two balconies, and a rooftop terrace. The development features storage and laundry facilities, and is a short walk to Pratt, the G at Classon or Bedford-Nostrand, and eateries including (next door neighbor!) Dough, too.
Open House: Sunday, April 19, 12-1:30pm

451 Clinton Avenue #1E
List Price: $450,000, $526 maintenance
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: This sweet, sunny co-op features prewar details like inlaid parquet flooring, built-in shelving, and vintage fixtures in its windowed bathroom as well as more modern upgrades like a dishwasher. The building itself offers outdoor space, bike storage, common laundry, and a cat-friendly policy — and near the corner of Gates Avenue, it’s close to Fulton Street fun as well as the Clinton-Washington A/C.
Open House: Sunday, April 19, 12-2pm

130 Saint Edwards Street #11
List Price: $599,000, $1,006
Size: Three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms
Details: This park-sandwiched place is a bit of a mess (cosmetically speaking, at least), but it’s hard to imagine the current price plus renovations would come near the cost of most local three beds. We can appreciate those parquet floors, that pass-through galley kitchen for easy entertaining, and that green and blue tile mosaic underfoot — but if you decide nothing else is fit to keep, you’ll at least still have those rows of windows with stellar views to come home to.
Open House: Sunday, April 19, 3:30-4:30pm

166 Lefferts Place
List Price: $2,100,000
Size: Five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms
Details: This town home around the corner from the Franklin A/C/S features not one, not three, but six marble fireplace mantels — not to mention some killer mouldings, arched entryways, original mirrors and ceiling medallions, and a variety of amazing floors and doors. It’s got a 53′ deep backyard, a sunroom, and three kitchens (at least one with high end modern upgrades), and is currently split into multiple units — a bonus for those who could use rental income to help offset that hefty mortgage. Its roof and mechanicals are reportedly in good shape, and while this place isn’t something we could ever afford, it seems competitively priced both for the neighborhood and for its particularly stunning looks.
Open House: Sunday, April 19, 1-2:30pm
