135 Gates Ave Brooklyn, NY 11238

Lovingly maintained with wonderful original and period detail, this gorgeous Clinton Hill townhouse is extra-wide (22 feet wide!) and offers over 3500 square feet of living space. Currently configured as a double duplex, the lower unit features two bedrooms & two baths, while the upper unit offers three bedrooms & two baths. Both units have large open living areas and fantastic outdoor space.

The stunning parlor floor has 11" ceilings, enormous south and north facing windows, beautiful woodwork, crown and baseboard moldings, two original marble mantels (one with a gas fireplace), and a magnificent archway separating living from dining. Pocket doors with leaded glass lead to the eat-in kitchen. A screen porch off the back is the perfect place to have your morning coffee and enjoy the beautifully landscaped garden below. A full bath can also be found on the parlor level.

On the garden level are two extremely spacious bedrooms, one with a decorative fireplace. The master bedroom leads out to the garden. Each bedroom has crown and baseboard molding and a split system A/C unit. The five-piece marble, master bath features dual sinks, an extra-deep whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower. A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level.

The third floor of the house, the first floor of the upper duplex, is flooded with light and has an open floor plan. A decorative fireplace with a marble mantel is the focal point of the living room, while the large kitchen has an adjacent dining area. Off the living room is a deck spanning the width of the house with plenty of room for dining, grilling, and relaxing. The top floor of this unit has three well-proportioned bedrooms, two with large walk-in closets. Two large full baths can also be found in the upper unit.

Impeccably maintained by the same owner for 40 years, this house is a gem. Located in the heart of historic Clinton Hill, three blocks from the C train at Clinton/Washington, four blocks from the G train at Clinton/Washington, and surrounded by great shopping and dining, including Locanda Vini and Olii, Speedy Romeo, and Mekelburg's (to name a few), the location is wonderful!
