Magnificent in Clinton Hill! Spanning 3600 square feet over four floors, this handsome, landmarked, Brooklyn Brownstone is currently configured as a spacious parlor and third floor owner's duplex with three separate apartments. Keep as is and generate incredible income or easily expand to use as a gracious one or two family residence. With plentiful, priceless classic pre-war detail such as fireplace mantels, pocket shutters, wooden wainscoting, ornate ceiling medallions and moldings, this incredible south-facing, sun-filled property offers historical charm alongside opportunity and options. Enter at the parlor level to soaring 12 foot ceilings. The grand front parlor and eat-in kitchen in the back parlor create a fantastic and open living/dining space. The kitchen opens to a deck that steps down to a private, coveted backyard. Access the three bedrooms and two full baths on the third floor via the internal spiral staircase or the grand main stair case with original banister and inlaid parquet floors. The garden level, with private entrance, hosts a lovely one bedroom garden apartment, which can easily be converted to a fantastic recreation space. The top floor of the building has two studio apartments, each with a full bath and separate kitchen featuring cool walnut cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. This floor could easily be incorporated to the lower two levels to create an owner's triplex. Located in the Clinton Hill Historic District, this home is on lovely, leafy Greene Avenue near many great restaurants and amenities and with easy access to transportation. Filled with freestanding mansions from when Clinton Hill rose to prominence as a bucolic suburb in the mid 19th century, this neighborhood is a delight to explore, along with its wonderful neighbors of Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant.
