Property Details
Description
A pre-war loft with unique Gothic charm, this residence at the Cathedral Condominium offers generous proportions and a highly flexible layout. With nearly 15-foot ceilings, classic architectural details, and thoughtful modern updates, the apartment balances historic character with everyday livability. The apartment spans 760 square feet, with nearly 300 additional square feet of lofted space, offering multiple configurations. The layout easily adapts to a variety of living needs while maximizing the home’s impressive proportions. A gracious vestibule with original terrazzo floors sets the tone upon entry. Just beyond, the space where the original layout's bedroom was has been opened up, creating the perfect office or den. A staircase leads to a charming sleeping loft featuring a custom-built platform large enough for a queen-sized bed, with comfortable standing height for most. Also off the vestibule is the beautifully renovated bathroom, finished with carefully curated details that honor the apartment’s Gothic roots. Highlights include Restoration Hardware brass fixtures, classic white subway tile, porcelain wood-grain tile flooring, a Robern hidden medicine cabinet, and a Toto in-wall toilet with washlet—every detail thoughtfully considered. Down the hall, the show-stopping living room is defined by soaring beamed ceilings, wooden baseboards, and an oversized Gothic window overlooking a classic stretch of Brooklyn brownstones. There is ample room to accommodate both living and dining areas, making the space as functional as it is dramatic. An open kitchen blends seamlessly with the living area. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, a new quartz countertop, built-in shelving, ample storage, and a bar for casual seating—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A second staircase leads to an additional loft with a full wall of built-in bookshelves—another space ideal to use as a home office, creative studio, or additional sleeping area. Originally built in 1914 as a seminary, The Cathedral Condos remain a beloved Clinton Hill landmark. The building seamlessly blends modern conveniences with preserved architectural character, including the iconic gargoyles. Amenities include a beautifully landscaped courtyard, part-time doorman, virtual intercom system, elevator, multiple laundry rooms, and bike storage (available for an additional fee). Perfectly located on the border of Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights, the building is surrounded by vibrant restaurants, cafés, and shops. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Fort Greene Park, Park Slope, and Barclays Center are all within a mile, and the C subway line at the corner provides an easy commute to Manhattan.
