House of the Day: 50 Clarkson Avenue
9/8/2010 11:29:44 AM

50 Clarkson looks nice enough, but it lacks both the original detail and prime location of some of Prospect Lefferts best homes. At 2,000 square feet, the house isn't huge either. There is room to park 14 (!) cars at the rear, though. That canopy over the front porch is a tough design touch. ...
