Description

Own a piece of history! Classon Avenue's oldest house, 490 Classon, was built during the mid-1800s. A legal two-family, this townhouse was newly restored in 2006--all new mechanicals and roof, and the townhouse was structurally reinforced to withstand the next century. Some original architectural details remain, including two decorative fireplaces with pristine marble mantels, crown molding, tin ceilings and ceiling medallions.Currently, the first floor features a spacious one-bedroom unit with original marble fireplace and grand mirror above, eat-in kitchen with dining area and oversized garden. There is also an enclosed front porch that can be opened to capitalize on the abundant eastern natural light. Bright and airy, three bedroom owner's upper duplex has two full bathrooms. The owner's duplex has the potential for two large outdoor spaces, and there is a deck that leads to the backyard and a front New Orleans style second floor balcony. Finished basement with access to the garden space. This is virtually the best that Clinton Hill has to offer right at your fingertips! The house is conveniently located near public transportation, exquisite merchants, restaurants and more. Call today for your opportunity to view this rare offering.
