Description

Welcome to 157 Waverly Avenue #1B-a beautifully renovated, loft-style duplex in the vibrant heart of Clinton Hill. This two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home spans 1,000 square feet and exudes architectural charm and character throughout.
Step inside to find soaring 12-foot ceilings accentuated by a striking exposed wooden beam, a decorative fireplace framed by built-in shelving and cabinetry, exposed brick and rich hardwood floors. The spacious living area blends form and function seamlessly, with built-in benches along the wall that offer additional seating and hidden storage.
Adjacent to the spacious dining area, illuminated by a chic mid-century sputnik chandelier, is the renovated kitchen. With walnut lower cabinetry, crisp white upper cabinets, Silestone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen offers abundant work and storage space, creating an ideal space for both cooking and entertaining.
The bedroom, situated off the dining area, boasts more exposed brick, a large window, and a generous walk-in closet with a custom organization system. The stylishly renovated bathroom includes modern finishes and fixtures, elevating the home's sophisticated aesthetic
Downstairs, you'll discover a versatile lower level perfect for a den, TV room, or home office. The primary bedroom is well-proportioned and includes an exposed brick wall and additional built-ins for ample storage. A conveniently located powder room adds extra comfort, and while the unit allows for in-home laundry, the building's common laundry room is easily accessible from the lower level.
Set within the historic, tree-lined neighborhood of Clinton Hill, 157 Waverly has a unique past and architectural significance. The building's rare cast-iron fa ade once adorned the Golden Key Hotel and Lenruth Hall in the 1940s. Now a 14-unit boutique coop, it was converted in 1989 and recently underwent a comprehensive renovation, including a new roof, updated fa ade, and freshly revamped hallways and common areas. Additional amenities include bike storage and storage lockers available for rent (may be waitlisted).
boutiques and eateries line Myrtle Avenue and you're just a few blocks from Fort Greene Park and its bustling farmers market, the cultural richness of the BAM Cultural District, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the NYC Ferry. The area also offers easy access to Wegmans grocery store.
Please note, dogs are permitted with approval.
