Property Details
Description
398 Washington Avenue presents a masterclass of Queen Anne architecture in the heart of Clinton Hill. With 5 stories and a 20 foot width, this multi-unit townhouse is just shy of 5500SF, and living space will be delivered vacant. The property retains incredible period detail including marble fireplaces, a mahogany staircase with custom wainscoting, hand-blown stained glass and original inlaid wood floors in superior condition. Built in 1887 by famed architect Adam E. Fischer, this home boasts one of the most beautifully detailed facades in all of Brooklyn employing a wide range of materials including red brick, brownstone, and terracotta. Hand carved symbols that include grapes, pomegranates, and sculptured busts in the form of shouting green figures surrounded by acanthus on two elegantly peaked roofs make this mansion a one of kind. While the interior is in estate condition, the facade, roof, mechanicals and overall structure are in excellent working order, as are many period details inside the home including the original inlaid floors, marble fireplaces and woodwork. Situated on an over-sized lot with 117 feet of depth plus a full height basement on one of Clinton Hill's finest tree lined blocks, this is truly a special and rare property. Currently zoned three family, options are plentiful and include luxury rentals, single family mansion use and conversion to boutique condominiums. Note: The home will be delivered vacant.
