Clinton Hill Townhouse Sells for $9.4M, 2.5x the 2014 Deed
The new deed is not yet in ACRIS. The prior one is, and it shows what the seller paid 12 years ago.
A renovated townhouse at 374 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill has sold off-market for a reported $9.4 million, a neighborhood record, according to 6sqft. The seller paid $3.75 million for it in 2014. The new deed is not yet in city records, so the price rests on that report.
Why it matters
The 2014 deed recorded $3,750,000, and a $2.25 million mortgage went on the same day. A $9.4 million sale is $5.65 million higher, a 2.5x multiple over about 12.6 years, or roughly 7.6% a year, before the cost of the renovation 6sqft says the owners completed. 6sqft reports it narrowly tops the $9.05 million record set by the Pfizer Mansion at 280 Washington Avenue in 2021, a house about 10,000 square feet.
The numbers
City PLUTO data lists the house at 7,119 square feet on a 3,400 square foot lot, three floors, built in 1881 and inside the Clinton Hill Historic District. At $9.4 million that is about $1,320 per square foot, against about $527 at the 2014 price. The record is also thin evidence: it is one off-market sale of a 25-foot-wide, turn-key house on an extra-deep lot. For another price set against a recorded deed, see our report on 70 Broad Street, and more in our New York coverage. Clinton Hill’s mansion-row blocks trade rarely, so a single sale can reset the neighborhood benchmark, and a buyer or lender underwriting the next one will lean on it. The comparison that matters is the 2014 deed, because it shows how much of the gain came from the market and how much from the work done to the house.
What’s next
Watch for the deed to post in ACRIS, which will confirm the recorded price, the buyer of record and any new mortgage. If the recorded figure differs from the reported $9.4 million, the record claim changes with it.
