Description
A Classic Brownstone Love Story.
Some homes simply exist. Others hold stories. For over 70 years, 29 Clifton Place has been both - a multigenerational residence cherished by the same family for three generations, quietly standing on one of Clinton Hill's most beloved blocks. Now, this classic brownstone presents a rare opportunity to begin its next chapter.
Spanning approximately 2,700 square feet across three floors, with a full basement bringing the total to nearly 3,600 square feet, the home offers the scale and proportions that define classic brownstone Brooklyn. Currently configured as a garden duplex with an upper residence, the layout has long allowed the flexibility of two kitchens while functioning comfortably as a single extended home. Today, it presents a myriad of possibilities - from maintaining the current configuration with income potential, to creating a spectacular single-unit residence designed entirely around your vision.
Built 20 feet wide on a 100-foot lot, the home enjoys 1,330 square feet of exterior space between the private backyard and charming front courtyard. Inside, a remarkable collection of preserved architectural details reveals the craftsmanship of another era. Five original marble fireplaces, elegant plaster ceiling medallions, chair rail moldings, and arched transitions between rooms speak to the home's historic character. Oversized windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while original pocket doors, shutters, and the sweeping wood staircase with its original banister and spindles connect the three levels with quiet grandeur.
Whether one chooses to undertake a thoughtful restoration that honors the home's historic soul while introducing modern comforts, or a complete reimagination into a contemporary showpiece, the foundation is undeniable: a house with extraordinary bones and timeless proportions ready to be shaped into something exceptional. Adding to the possibilities, the property retains approximately 1,380 square feet of unused FAR, creating the opportunity to expand and add even more living space. The result could be a dramatic four-story single-unit home approaching 4,900 square feet, or an expansive owner's triplex residence with a garden rental - a flexibility that allows the home to evolve with your lifestyle.
Beyond the home itself lies the undeniable charm of Clifton Place, a quiet one-way, tree-lined street that has long been considered one of Clinton Hill's hidden gems Part of the Clinton Hill Historic District, the block is defined by cohesive rows of 19th-century brownstones that together create a streetscape rich in character and architectural heritage. Despite its peaceful setting, everything you need is moments away. Neighborhood favorites like Entre Nous Wine Bar, Choice Market, Peaches, and Clementine Bakery are just around the corner, while Food Emporium, Starbucks, and a 24-hour attended garage add everyday convenience. Transportation is equally effortless with nearby subway lines and buses connecting you easily to the rest of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Classic brownstone Brooklyn. A coveted block.
Endless potential. For those searching for a home that can grow with them - a place where history, character, and possibility meet - 29 Clifton Place may be the perfect place to begin your next chapter. Find your sweet spot.
