Description

Introducing 119 Vanderbilt... A one-of-a-kind townhouse masterpiece in the heart of Clinton Hill. Expertly crafted and designed with a fusion of elegance, high artistic style, and modern comforts.

This glamorous home offers a contemporary take on a traditional townhouse, combining high quality original details with modern day luxuries spread throughout the four floors of living space, cellar, and landscaped private garden. Although 119 Vanderbilt is a legal two-family, this 20' wide brownstone is currently configured as a single family residence with an open and flexible layout to re-configure back to two duplex units if so desired.

This home has been painstakingly built by artisans and garnished with preserved historic details including 4 original wood burning, marble mantled fireplaces, wainscoting, tin ceilings, detailed molding, exposed brick, authentic push-button light switches, wood beamed ceilings, and hand-nailed wide plank floors throughout.

Upon entry through an intimate entry vestibule, one is captivated by a foyer which opens to the bright and spacious parlor level with hardwood floor embellished with an original design overlay. The parlor level features a grand living room, dining room, and open gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is illuminated by two oversized industrial style, steel, light fixtures and features brass hardware, a 6 burner Viking stove, dishwasher and vintage butcher block with copper siding for the entertainer or home chef.

Ascend one flight up via the dramatic curved staircase to the master suite featuring walk-in closet, renovated tiled bathroom outfitted with double rain shower-heads and en-suite claw-foot soaking tub. The fourth floor is a sun-drench open loft-style layout featuring two sky-lights, high ceilings, and built in shelves offering generous storage. Currently configured as a large bedroom, this space also includes water and gas lines to add kitchen appliances if a 2-family plan is wanted.

The private landscaped and luscious garden serves as a sanctuary featuring an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, a hand-layed stone wall, and a crafted stone waterfall all accessible by both the parlor and garden levels of the home. The garden level features french doors, exposed beamed ceilings and entry to the cellar offering bonus space or additional storage. This home is outfitted with Nest thermostats so one can comfortably control the heating and cooling remotely from their smartphone.

Live like a Vanderbilt at 119 Vanderbilt...conveniently located on a tree-lined picturesque brownstone block, just steps away from the bustling restaurants, boutiques, and public transportation of Myrtle Avenue.

Showings available by request. Offered exclusively by the Serhant Team.
