Description

Finely designed and one of a kind, this beautiful 4000SF, 20' wide, 5-story townhouse in prime Clinton Hill is a rare jewel for the discerning buyer. Meticulously renovated living space and luxurious sleeping quarters are complemented by a large private garden, spacious terraces, and glorious roof deck that make this home exceptional. The convenience of an elevator is at your disposal to transport you from the garden level to the roof deck should you choose not to take the stairs.


Elegance begins on the main parlor floor boasting an incredibly light, airy open floor plan and high-end finishes at every turn. Beyond the grand arched main doors awaits a seamless flow for entertaining, as the sun-filled living/dining room connects to the stunning chef's kitchen appointed with top-of-the-line cabinetry, fixtures and appliances. A long center island with Caesarstone countertop provides additional prep area and seating. Brightening the space is an entire wall of glass that slides open to a generous outdoor terrace, leading down to the pristine and lovely landscaped rear yard and patio.


The living space continues on the garden level below, offering a large family room with soaring ceiling, a wet bar with wine storage, a full bath, and more sliding doors that extend out to the patio/garden for fabulous indoor-outdoor gatherings. This level also provides a private bedroom suite with en-suite bath for guests, as well as a full laundry room with a full-size washer-dryer, and 2 storage closets.


Level 2 is reserved for the full-floor master suite that is truly a relaxing retreat, complete with a private terrace, his and her walk-in closets, and enormous spa-inspired bath. Here you can refresh and renew with a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and custom furniture-quality double sink vanity enhancing the ambience.


Occupying the 3rd story are 2 light-bathed bedroom suites, each with private baths and ample fitted closets, plus a hallway powder room. A glass-encased atrium is a captivating focal point, granting access to the prized roof deck that allows for outdoor pleasure from another vantage point. All baths throughout the home are impeccably adorned with lovely tilework, premium fixtures and radiant heated floors for your optimal comfort.


Located in desirable Clinton Hill, near numerous shopping and dining options, local services, and subway transportation at the Clinton-Washington Avenue and Classon Avenue stations minutes away.
