Description
A landmarked, legal two-family townhouse built in 1885 in the Clinton Hill Historic District oozing with beautiful original detail. With an angled bay and three south-facing windows complete with their original shutters across the front, this special home features radiant sunlight all day long. The owner's triplex is comprised of four beautifully proportioned bedrooms (all the entire width of the house) and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Each voluminous floor features ceiling heights ranging from 9'8' to 10'5'. Just off the eat-in kitchen, a deck leading to a large, landscaped garden awaits. Rich wood and plaster moldings, original fireplace mantles, exposed brick, and dramatic details are throughout. With its own separate entrance, the one-bedroom garden rental provides a reliable income opportunity that simultaneously maintains your privacy. Several core updates have been made recently including a split, ductless air system and a new sewer main. Situated on a lovely, quiet block, 157 Willoughby Avenue is within a short walk of the gorgeous Pratt Institute main campus, some of Brooklyn's hottest restaurants and a plethora of shopping options on Myrtle and Dekalb Avenues, Fort Greene Park, and the C and G trains.
