About This Home
Sunny, Spacious, and Serene 1 BR Coop in the Heart of Clinton Hill!
Welcome to 277 Washington Avenue, Apt. 4E - an expansive, sun-filled, and lovingly maintained pre-war one-bedroom coop nestled on one of Clinton Hill's most grand and picturesque tree-lined blocks. Set within Francine Towers, a stately six-story Romanesque-style elevator building dating back to 1905, this generously proportioned apartment offers a rare blend of old-world charm and everyday comfort - the kind of place that feels like home the moment you walk in.
Step off the elevator and into your open foyer, where you can set down your bags, tuck your coat into the floor-to-ceiling closet, and savor the quiet respite at home after a long day in the city. Currently used as a cozy work-from-home office nook, this entry space is as versatile as it is welcoming.
From here, the apartment unfolds in three directions - through a charming glass-paned French door into the living/dining room, straight ahead into the separate eat-in kitchen, and down a quiet hallway toward the bedroom wing - creating a perfect separation between your everyday living spaces. The expansive living/dining room is the heart of the home, bathed in south-eastern sunlight that streams in through two large windows from mid- morning until late afternoon. High ceilings, original picture rails and moldings, and gorgeous basket-weave patterned oak floors give the room timeless character, while the generous layout comfortably fits a dining table large enough for a dinner party of eight, a roomy couch, a media console, and an accent chair or two.
At the opposite end of the home, the king-sized bedroom offers the same warm all-day sunlight through two more windows, with peaceful views over the Pratt campus and neighboring treetops and backyards. This room is expansive, with room enough for a king bedroom set, two dressers, and a quiet corner for your favorite reading chair, perfect for leisurely mornings or unwinding at the end of the day.
The eat-in windowed kitchen is both roomy and functional, with a separate breakfast area, granite countertops, and both upper and lower wood cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and a brand-new refrigerator, make cooking a pleasure. And when it's time to relax, the windowed bathroom's original deep cast-iron soaking tub is ready to help you unwind and reset.
Beyond your front door, Francine Towers places you right in the heart of Clinton Hill - just one block from Pratt Institute and surrounded by beloved neighborhood restaurants, shops, and cultural gems, with Fort Greene Park and Underwood Park both just minutes away. Commuting is effortless too, with the G train one block away and the A and C lines within a few short blocks. The building offers bicycle storage (for a small fee) and has a large common laundry room, and your pets are welcome! Subletting is permitted after two years of ownership with board approval, and the co-op is open to pied-à-terre purchasers, co-purchasing, and parents purchasing on behalf of adult children, all on a case-by-case basis. This isn't just an apartment - it's a warm, sun-filled retreat in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant and beloved neighborhoods, and a wonderful place to call home.
