Description

FEATURED IN THE NY TIMES EXCLUSIVE BY ROBIN FINN MAY 22, 2015: "CLINTON HILL HOME DESIGNED FOR AN ARTIST: $8,500,000". A world of possibilities exists in this extraordinary 5500 square foot space at 315 Vanderbilt Avenue between Dekalb and Lafayette. Along a row lined with carriage houses and stables, a 1929 tax photo of 315 shows a 19th century structure with mansard roof and two sets of wide double doors. The 1940's conversion included significant structural work and a new facade and the building became the Union Hall for the Candy and Confectionery Workers. In 2008 the site was reimagined again and a total renovation exposed 19th century beams, rafters, skylights and brick walls, revealing dramatic double height ceilings on both levels. Principles of modern design were applied and interchangeable live/work areas were designed to open onto exquisite garden space. The spirit and style of the renovation reflect the spontaneity and creativity of the artist owner, who was involved in all aspects of the transformation, and whose work has chronicled seasons in the garden. With north, east and west exposures, 19 windows, 4 glass doors, two window walls and 6 skylights, the entire structure is filled with natural light. There are two master bedrooms with en suite baths, one on each level, and two half baths. Centered on each level are 30' x 35' open gallery/studio spaces, with massive walls and ceiling height. There is a wood-burning fireplace in the first floor studio. The renovation includes all new systems and mechanicals, an elevator, 200 amp 3 phase electrical, central air, radiant heat under polished cement floors on the first level, and large format porcelain tiles on the second. Other elements of the design include mahogany windows and doors, a 37' long walnut counter in the kitchen and dining area and stainless steel cabinets and drawers. The three-lot parcel on the border of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill has 60 feet of frontage. The building measures 37.5 x 73 on a 90-foot lot and the side lot measures 22.2 x 85 and provides gated parking for two cars.
