328 CLINTON Avenue #5

Travel back in history and relax amongst the trees in this spectacular top floor apartment at 328 Clinton Avenue. Masterfully renovated, this home is an effortless blend of old and new; a tasteful 21st century polish on an 18th century gem. They literally don’t make them like this anymore. The living room has been totally upgraded to include central air conditioning and exposed the original ceiling beams that hold high-hat lights at just under 11 feet. At over 21’ wide and with the installed central air this tranquil space is both spacious and homey in a way not often found in homes of this period. The large kitchen is perfect for hosting friends and its center island is a great spot for breakfast. Top tier appliances include the vented stainless-steel WOLF stove, Fisher & Paykel fridge and Bosch dishwasher. Stone countertops abound and there are lots of updated cabinets and drawers throughout. Past the large renovated bathroom with its own bright skylight, sits the first bedroom with its double wide closet. This room fits a queen well as a work station ready to tackle a busy day. The 2nd bedroom, also with a great closet, has a bright western window that gets fantastic light. The study has its own closet and would make a perfect work space or exercise area, but could easily be an incredible walk-in closet as well. On top of all these modern upgrades, up the dedicated staircase, sits the exclusive roof-deck. It’s private for Apt. 5 only and when you’re up there it will seem like all of Brooklyn is all yours. Spectacular 360-degree views feature Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, Fort Greene Park, The Empire State Building, and Freedom Tower as highlights of this stunning panorama. Available for the first time in over a decade this apartment is history made comfortable. 328 Clinton Ave was built by Tomas Fagen as one of seven Second French Empire style rowhouses in c.1870. It retains its Mansard roof and some of the original cornice. It has stood proud for over 150 years and is firmly in the heart of the Clinton Hill Historic District. Apartments like this are rare because houses of such quality are exceptional. This home has been made ready for its next chapter. Please arrange a private viewing today.
