Property Details
Description
Step back in time to this breathtaking freestanding Italianate mansion on Washington Avenue in the Clinton Hill Historic District. Built in 1865 as a one-family townhouse, now a legal two-family, it has original historical details still intact, a rarity to come by. Its size and quality truly offers the most spectacular showplace potential of all the current houses on the market in the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area.This remarkable three-story home provides almost 6,155 square feet of actual space (4,477 square feet on the first three floors plus an 830 square foot English Basement with separate entry, a 520 square foot Cellar and a 328 square foot Utility area). It is situated on a 45 foot wide lot with a depth of approximately 133 feet. The faade of this home is brick with a smooth stucco veneer and the fine detailing of the deep overhanging cornices and the eyebrow lintels is just a hint of whats inside. The original grandeur stands strong and proud with 10 + rooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, 7 fireplaces with the most beautiful mantels, inlaid wood floors, original terrazzo floors in the entry, pocket doors, wainscoting, stained-glass, multiple staircases, high ceilings and original hardware throughout. And yet there is more, a glorious wrap around porch with its Corinthian columns and elegant arches will provide extended outdoor pleasure for all. Entertaining or just quiet solitude can also be had in the cultured, landscaped gardens at the front, side and rear of the house, providing space to breathe and relax.A unique opportunity to delve into the history and pedigree of this property and to make this restoration your own!
