Description

www.251ClintonSt.com

Located in the charming and coveted neighborhood of Cobble Hill zoned for P.S.29, this rare 22? wide federal-style three family has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 30 years. It features high ceilings and beautiful original details throughout including crown moldings, ceiling medallions, tin ceilings, exposed brick, marble mantles, and four fireplaces. The owner?s duplex is thoughtfully configured and features a palatial parlor floor that spans almost 50? deep. Enter through the private foyer into an ornate living room, formal dining room, and extension with a sunny eat-in-kitchen boasting large windows and deck with access to the private garden. There is also a three-quarter guest bathroom by the stairs that lead down to two spacious bedrooms with abundant closets and a full bathroom. The cellar below is currently used as a storage and laundry area, but it can be converted into a recreation room with good ceiling height and lovely brick arches. Two loft-like one-bedroom/convertible two-bedroom floorthroughs above offer additional income or space to grow into.

Commuting is simple with the F/G trains at Bergen just two blocks away or head a few extra blocks north to Brooklyn Heights/Downtown and access the 2/3, 4/5, N/R, and A/C trains. Never tire of things to do with Cobble Hill Park and all the options for great food and fashionable boutiques practically at your front door and along Smith Street, Court Street and Atlantic Avenue. Trader Joe?s, Sahadi?s, supermarkets, drugstores, specialty butcher shops, fresh fish markets, and a weekly Farmer?s Market are also conveniently nearby. Those looking not only for a good home, but also a good investment will want to take note of the expansion of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, development of Fulton Mall, and the upcoming Barclay?s Center.
