436 GRAND Avenue

436 Grand Avenue is a landmarked, five-story, two-family Clinton Hill brownstone, thoughtfully reimagined with exceptional attention to detail and a sophisticated, design-forward sensibility. Behind its classic brownstone facade, a curated contemporary palette and restored period details create a home of extraordinary scale, warmth, and character. The parlor and garden levels extend nearly 80 feet deep, offering remarkable proportions and exceptional natural light. The dramatic parlor floor unfolds from a beautifully restored vestibule, where an original newel post, curved mahogany handrail, and intricate period moldings introduce the home's rich architectural character. A grand living and dining room at the front parlor features a decorative marble fireplace mantel, while the expansive custom kitchen pairs rich walnut cabinetry with honed Calacatta Viola marble, a material thoughtfully repeated throughout the home. An oversized center island, striking designer lighting, a beautifully restored stained-glass window, and a Wolf range beneath a sculptural hood create a stunning focal point, while two dishwashers, a speed oven, full-size wine refrigerator, and two pantries make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Beyond the kitchen, two striking marble arches lead into the extraordinary rear extension, equally suited to a formal dining room or generous family lounge. This space features a restored original fireplace mantel, custom built-in cabinetry, and a beautiful window seat with concealed storage. A beautifully appointed powder room with an antique mirror and a convenient coat closet complete the floor, which benefits from east, west, and south exposures. The entire third floor is devoted to a spectacular primary suite. An oversized king-size bedroom opens through double doors onto an expansive private terrace overlooking the rear garden. A fully customized walk-in closet leads to a dramatic primary bathroom featuring an exceptionally wide double vanity, radiant heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, an enormous steam shower with dual rain heads and a hand-carved marble bench, and a separate water closet with a smart bidet toilet. The fourth floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with custom closets and en-suite bathrooms featuring walnut vanities topped with honed Calacatta Viola marble. A dedicated laundry room with a utility sink adds everyday convenience. On the fifth floor, another spacious bedroom features two custom closets and an en-suite bathroom, complemented by an additional full hallway bathroom. A beautifully appointed library and lounge, wrapped in artistic mural wallpaper, features an additional beverage cooler and access to the finished roof. The garden level offers a separate, beautifully finished residence with a custom kitchen and direct access to the landscaped rear garden. Finished to the same exceptional standard as the main residence, it offers flexibility for guests, extended family, or rental income. The front garden has also been thoughtfully landscaped with native plantings, while a finished basement with a powder room provides additional versatile space. Throughout the home, wide-plank white oak floors, soft limewashed walls, substantial moldings, restored original shutters, custom millwork, polished nickel hardware, Kohler plumbing fixtures, Pella windows, beautifully finished closets, and carefully selected designer lighting create a distinctive sense of cohesion. A built-in sound system with integrated speakers adds another layer of modern convenience, while an extensive down-to-the-studs renovation includes new mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and multi-zone central heating and cooling. Note: the garden level kitchen image is a rendering. Grand in scale, rich in character, and quietly bold in design, 436 Grand Avenue is a rare marriage of historic Brooklyn architecture and contemporary craftsmanship, offering the warmth and individuality of a truly special home.
