Description

Stunning federal-style two-family townhouse being used as a one-family in Clinton Hill. This rare beauty comes to market once in a blue moon. All the character of a traditional Brooklyn Brownstone with five marble mantels, ornate ceiling medallions, floor-to-ceiling parlour windows, and alabaster lighting fixtures. But then, upgraded with modern amenities such as central air and heat, renovated bathrooms, exposed brick, and reclaimed chestnut floors. This home boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms. A newly poured basement was renovated in such a way that it can be used for more than storage. Lastly, the garden is fully paved with elevated planting beds. Across the street from beautiful and historic Underhill Park. One block from the G train, three blocks from the A/C.
