About This Home
As of July 2025357 Clinton Street is an elegant brownstone constructed in a row of seven homes in 1879 by Perkins & Green, architects. Built in the retardataire italianate style, with a bold balustraded stoop and a Neo-Grec pedimented doorway, this home greets one with a pleasant and rich character right from the outset. Clinton street between Kane and Degraw streets, is one of Cobble Hill’s most impressive landmarked streets, with a dense tree canopy and a great depth of architectural styles evident, while the Gothic Revival Christ Church built in 1841 by the famed Richard Upjohn, anchors the northwest corner of the block. Held in the same family for over fifty years, the opportunity is now here for you to make this well preserved brownstone your new home.
Set up as a two-family residence, one will find a very easy conversion back to single family usage if that is the desired plan. This home is perfectly positioned for those who want to own with an income generating garden apartment, or for those who wish to simply uncap the lower stairwell and return to single family use. There are two kitchens and both are banked along the northern wall to allow for truly optimal flow of movement within the home. The kitchen at the parlor level is perfectly positioned for entertaining and it has close proximity to a pair of tall French doors providing access to a deck over the rear garden which is nicely paved and graced with perimeter planting beds. Ceiling heights and volume on all floors is excellent, and with a built house depth of 55 feet, 357 Clinton street delivers a copious amount of space with which to create the perfect home.
Currently configured as an “owners” triplex and a lower garden level apartment with a separate entrance under the stoop. The upper triplex has five bedrooms and two baths and a large array of deep and spacious closets. The garden level apartment is configured as a large studio, but could potentially convert to a functional one bedroom if that is desirable. A strong sense of personality and charm permeates all levels of the home due to detailed moldings, decorative plaster work, wall niches and a marble fireplace mantel. The southeast facing garden is well exposed and allows uplifting light levels to permeate the residence. For added storage, there is an attic crawl space as well as a full basement with excellent standing room and easy access to mechanicals.
Located within the Cobble Hill Historic District, 357 Clinton street has close proximity to the varied and tasteful retail and restaurant offerings on nearby Court and Smith streets, and is a short walk to the F train for commutability to Manhattan. Nearby access to Cobble Hill Park, and Brooklyn Bridge Park provides excellent outdoor recreation access. Broker/owner.
