Description

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block in Clinton Hill, this elegant 20-foot-wide, four-story federal-style townhouse offers the perfect balance of privacy, thoughtful design, and historic charm. Beautifully configured as a pristine owner's triplex over a versatile garden apartment, this home is a rare opportunity-blending timeless character with modern comforts.

The upper triplex has been meticulously renovated to create a peaceful, elevated urban retreat. Enter through the gracious parlor level, where soaring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, original architectural details, and an abundance of natural light set the tone. Seven marble fireplace mantels, exposed brick, warm 9-inch wide European oak flooring, and intricate moldings all speak to the home's rich heritage.
At the rear of the parlor floor, a bright, open-concept kitchen and dining area overlook a lush 60-foot garden-perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero appliances, a Bertazzoni range with dual ovens and professional-grade hood, a custom pantry, and a dramatic quartzite waterfall island with a second sink! Floor-to-ceiling glass doors and casement windows flood the space with natural light and lead directly to a beautifully landscaped outdoor retreat.

Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the garden includes a dedicated dining patio, built-in BBQ area, and a trellised lounge ideal for long summer evenings. Framed by roses, honeysuckle, and mature greenery, it's your own private urban oasis in the heart of Brooklyn.
Upstairs, the entire second floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a cozy sleeping alcove, and windows at both ends create a calm, light-filled retreat. The spa-inspired bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized pass-through shower with handmade tiles and dual entries-both functional and visually striking, the shower anchors the space with a sense of flow and luxury. The custom marble sink and radiant heated floors complete the experience, blending comfort and sophistication. A separate laundry room is also found on this floor.

On the top floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms each with ample walk-in-closets, a dedicated home office, and another beautifully designed full bathroom-the entire house presents ample space to grow, entertain, while you create lasting memories for you and your loved ones.

On the garden level, a separate turn-key one-bedroom apartment offers both flexibility and tremendous value. With it's own under-stoop entrance and entry foyer and direct access to the backyard, it's a great income-producing rental, but can easily serve as an in-law suite, guest quarters, or be joined to the upper triplex to create an expansive single-family home. On this level is an additional tucked away powder room. Efficient split systems serve the garden unit independently while a central HVAC system ensures year-round comfort in the triple. All the rest of the mechanical and electrical components have been revamped as part of the entire gut-renovation process and stored in the cellar for easy access.

Located on Waverly Avenue in Clinton Hill-one of Brooklyn's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods-this home is surrounded by culture, character, and convenience. Enjoy easy access to a renowned food scene, a weekly farmers market, and blocks lined with iconic row houses and grand mansions. Just around the corner is the car-free stretch of Willoughby Avenue, prized for its walkability and local charm. The historic Pratt Institute campus and Fort Greene Park are both within a short stroll, as are the shops, cafes, and cultural gems of nearby DeKalb Avenue. The G train at Clinton-Washington offers a quick ride to Downtown Brooklyn, with Manhattan just minutes beyond.
