Property Details
Description
IN CONTRACT Step back in time to this breathtaking Federal style mansion with a Flemish-bond brick front on lush and verdant Clinton Avenue in the Clinton Hill Historic District. Clinton Hill was once the most fashionable street in all of Brooklyn, according to some sources. This house is certainly one of the finest homes located on this extraordinary block. Built in the early 1900's, as a one-family townhouse, it is now a legal three family, with many original historical details still intact. Its quality offers the most spectacular showplace potential of all the current houses on the market in the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area.This remarkable four-story home provides almost 4,800 square feet of actual space (excluding the English basement which has a separate entry and measures 1,378 square feet). It is situated on a 20 foot wide lot with a depth of approximately 100 feet. The faade of this home is brick and the fine detailing of the wrought iron is just a hint of whats inside. The original grandeur stands strong and proud with 16 + rooms, 3 kitchens, 5 bathroom, 4 fireplaces with the lovely mantels, gorgeous wood floors, arched doors, wainscoting, lead glass windows, high ceilings, windows on three sides of the building and original hardware throughout. And yet there is more, a roof-top with sweeping views of Manhattan, a cozy garden right off of the kitchen and terraces on two floors. Entertaining or just quiet solitude can easily be had in the outdoor spaces which provide air to breathe and relax. Terrific transportation options, proximity to Fort Greene Park, the Farmer's Market, all of the restaurants and shops on DeKalb Avenue and so much more. While there is work to be done, this is a unique opportunity to delve into the history and pedigree of this property and to make this homes restoration your own. It will be delivered vacant.
