Description

Own a 4 Story, Two Family Townhouse, in Clinton Hill. Welcome to 228 Greene Avenue, located in the epicenter of Clinton Hill! This 2800 sq ft townhouse is situated on a 17'6" x 100' lot. And that's not all, there's an additional 530 sq ft of buildable FAR, if you desire even more space! Move in as is, or renovate to your liking - perhaps it's an owners triplex, while still collecting rental income in the other unit, or comfortably live in a duplex over a duplex. The deep backyard is prime for gardening and barbecuing, relaxing and entertaining, year round. Surrounded by some of the best restaurants in Brooklyn (Locanda Vini and Olii, Michelin rated The Finch, Choice Market, Speedy Romeo, Urban Vintage, Clementine Bakery... just to name a few). Wonderful boutiques, parks, yoga studios, playgrounds, the Pratt campus and sculpture garden, all in walking distance. Shop local farmers markets or at the nearby Greene Hill Food Co-op. Clinton Hill is notably an architectural masterpiece of old and new homes, creative, hip, homey, and convenient you will never want to leave the neighborhood again. Very near to the C and G trains, or walk to the Atlantic Center to catch the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R, or LIRR.
