This unique home is on the market for the first time in 20 years. A dramatic, spacious duplex with two staircases, this 2 BR/ 2.5 Bath is bathed in light. Sun pours in through double height windows and four exposures, letting you enjoy views of trees, local architecture, and the city skyline. Located in prime Cobble Hill, this home offers a shared terrace and backyard, and ample space to work, live, and entertain, both indoor and out. On the main floor is a living room, kitchen, powder room and full-size dining room. Upstairs, accessible by your choice of two staircases - one a straight staircase and the other a charming spiral - you will find two large bedrooms, two windowed bathrooms, (one ensuite), and access to a large, lovely shared terrace. The features of this apartment are exceptional, and include nine closets, a skylight, a wall of windows, a brand new split AC system, hardwood floors, large rooms, and a shared backyard the size of a small park. The space is flexible, with the opportunity to reconfigure it to suit your needs. One bedroom, for example, offers a balcony overlooking the trees of Clinton Street and the floor below, and can easily serve as an office with its own entrance or as a master bedroom. With high ceilings and airy hallways, you'll find endless ways to use this approximately 1,500 sq. ft. duplex, and make it your own. 238 Clinton St is a boutique, 6-unit cooperative (146 Amity St shares the building) with a large shared garden, laundry in the building, a stroller closet, and storage in the basement. The location offers an ideal combination of Cobble Hill tranquility -- Amity Street is a wide, brownstone lined street, leafy and quiet-- and downtown convenience, being only a short walk to Atlantic Avenue, Court Street, and the subways of downtown Brooklyn. 238 Clinton St is the heart of prime Cobble Hill with terrific restaurants and shops around the corner, including Trader Joe's. It's also only a few blocks from Brooklyn Bridge Park and the ferries. This building is pet friendly, and open to owners' gardening projects in the shared garden. There is rarely anything on the market with this combination of space, light, views, and location. Seize this opportunity to make this stunning duplex home your own.
