Description

Welcome home to 40 Cambridge Place! Built in 1866 by John T. Barnard, this two-family 19ft wide townhouse on a 25ft wide lot: 5 bedroom triplex, with garden level 2 bedroom rental is an absolute must see. Meticulously designed and renovated in 2015 using Passive House principles. Sustainability focused insulation and triple pane windows, paired with efficient and smart systems including an ERV for a constant supply of filtered fresh air, create an environment for comfortable 21st century living. This 19th century French Second Empire style clapboard semi-detached house, with three exposures is saturated with natural light. Located on the exceptionally bucolic street of Cambridge Place in the heart of the Clinton Hill Landmark district. White oak washed wide plank floors greet you as you enter the parlor level. Sculptural staircase bathed in light by clerestory roof window lets in light and air and 10ft high ceilings await as you begin the grand tour. Sitting area in the front is adorned with the original marble fireplace. Open floor plan leads to the kitchen, dining and living room. The half bath is tucked away with an architectural detail wall, Duravit and Rubinet fixtures. Modern chef's kitchen with white quartz island and countertops with undermount stainless sinks, Rubinet faucets, Porcelanosa tile backsplash. Built-in french door refrigerator, Bosch appliances: induction stovetop, convection oven, built-in microwave, and dishwashers is a chefs dream.

Wall of windows in the living room is great for entertaining indoor and outdoor and is pre-wired for ceiling mounted projector and surround sound. The deck has room for grilling and seating to dine al fresco. Head down the steps to your private oasis. Raised garden beds for the vegetable grower enthusiasts with mature foliage framing the backyard. Side yard gate access to conveniently bring in your garden supplies. Imagine having your organic farm for a true food to table experience for your guests. Primary suite ipe deck overlooks the backyard retreat just off the main bedroom.
