Description

A very rare historic condo conversion of an existing townhouse awaits, with loads of interior space, 2.5 baths, and two incredible outdoor spaces. Own three floors, including the dramatic and decorative parlor (with 11.5 high ceilings and a terrace!), the garden level with 2 oversized bedrooms (easily made into three bedrooms), AND the entire private landscaped garden. In addition, you will also own the entire finished basement, all in a wide and extra deep (20 x 61!) Italianate brownstone on one of the most beautiful blocks in Clinton Hill. Enjoy 2150 SF on the garden and parlor floors and an additional 900 SF on the cellar level. More space than many townhouses but with less stairs, low monthlies, a fully renovated gourmet kitchen, new marble bathrooms, central AC, full size vented washer and dryer, and a powder room on the entertaining floor.Enter up the stoop to an incredible parlor floor with an added extension that allows for a large and bright chefs kitchen, formal dining room in the middle with a real woodburning fireplace, plus a large loft-like living room in the front. Original details abound and include stunning lincrusta plaster detailing up the walls, base and picture moldings, original ceiling medallions, and a very unique original inlaid parquet floor that has been masterfully restored. Soaring ceiling heights allow maximum light all day long from both sides. The huge eat-in kitchen flows perfectly to a large terrace overlooking a fully planted garden with just the perfect combination of landscaping and seating areas for easy maintenance and maximum enjoyment. The newly renovated and windowed kitchen offers a contemporary combination of gray washed wood and white matte lacquered cabinetry, quartz countertops, professional appliances, and a huge pantry with unrivaled storage. This is a real eat-in kitchen off the garden that is completely separate from a formal dining room that allows for daily casual living and more formal entertaining all on the same floor, a rarity in any NYC apartment!Head downstairs to a garden level with 9 ceilings that is currently configured with 2 large bedrooms on the garden level (easily made into three), each with their own fully renovated ensuite bathroom complete with custom vanities, Carrara marble tiles and custom lighting. The master bath features a bathtub AND shower and oversized vanity and the master bedroom features a large walk-in closet and a quiet garden view. The front bedroom begs to be turned into 2 bedrooms, or leave as-is and enjoy a separate garden entrance and tons of storage for strollers, bikes, or whatever strikes your fancy.The finished cellar has been allocated to just this unit and provides loads of storage but also works great as a playroom, media room, home office or music room.Opportunities to buy more than half a house in this stunning neighborhood are few and far between, especially mint-condition condo conversions with charming historic details and low monthlies and taxes. Dont miss the chance for easy and gracious living and enjoy the best floors of a wide townhouse on a quiet and tree-lined block near public transportation, Fort Greene Park, and a fantastic array of award-winning restaurants and amenities in every direction.
