Description

Transport Yourself to Another World Without Leaving Brooklyn

This artfully restored neo-Grec brownstone, built in 1878, is a rare gem located in the heart of the Clinton Hill Historic District. Currently configured as a single-family home, this stunning residence has been meticulously renovated with vision and care. The renovation, originally executed by the celebrated designer Michelle R. Smith, is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in every room. Current interior design and art curation by New York creative firm, Studio. Edelman.

Spanning an impressive 4,538 square feet, this home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a lush garden, and a roof terrace-offering the ideal combination of space, style, and modern comforts to fulfill your townhouse dreams.

The expansive parlor floor is a masterpiece in itself, with 11-foot ceilings, restored moldings, parquet floors, and original filigreed knobs and hinges dating back to 1894. A grand marble fireplace anchors the room, creating an atmosphere of elegance and warmth. The eat-in kitchen is a true standout, showcasing a stunning ceiling fresco and a custom lacquered island, paired with a professional-grade Sub-Zero Pro refrigerator and abundant storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, a butler's pantry leads into a magical dining room, hand-painted by renowned muralist James Mobley.

The luxurious primary bedroom floor offers a peaceful retreat with serene park views and a private terrace perfect for dining, sunbathing, or relaxing in solitude. Two walk-in closets provide ample space for even the most extensive wardrobes, and the oversized en-suite bathroom includes a soaking tub, shower, and double sinks, elevating daily routines to an indulgent experience.

On the top floor, you'll find two full-width bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, along with a dedicated laundry room equipped with two full-sized vented washer and dryer sets.

The garden floor is a self-contained sanctuary, ideal for guests or additional living space. It includes a stylish living room, kitchenette, and a stunning indoor/outdoor dining room that seamlessly connects to the tranquil garden beyond. Designed by acclaimed landscape architect Grace Fuller Marroquin, the front and rear gardens are fully irrigated and feature custom brick walls, copper planters, and a window seat with cushions designed by London's Rose Uniacke. A built-in gas grill completes this perfect outdoor escape.

Perfectly positioned on one of Brooklyn's most architecturally significant avenues, 331 Washington Avenue is moments from Fort Greene Park, public transportation, boutique shopping, and a dynamic array of cafes and dining options.
