About This Home

As of April 2020

This impeccable turn key townhouse is the epitome of Clinton Hill living. Beautifully restored and renovated from top to bottom, there is no corner of this home that hasn't received thoughtful attention. Legally a two family, currently used as a single family home, the upper unit (plumbing still in place behind the wall) has been converted to a large living space and master bedroom with enormous walk-in windowed closet. This could easily convert to a 5th bedroom if needed.

The open kitchen and dining room flow gracefully into the classic brownstone parlor, as well as out to the garden. Perfect for entertaining, this home has a fantastic layout which is flexible to have 3-5 bedrooms as needed and still have multiple large open living areas.

Additional upgrades and recent renovations include a new roof, fully updated electric and plumbing, new skylight, pristine front and rear facades, new hot water recirculator, new gas boiler for radiator heat and separate AC split system units in each room for individual control, a pristine finished basement, and a fully landscaped yard with built in grill (featured in the NY Times)- ready for your late summer BBQs. The kitchen was completely renovated with gorgeous custom millwork and Thermador chef-grade appliances with 36' range and integrated (paneled) refrigerator.

Located in the heart of Clinton Hill, every great aspect of the neighborhood is nearby- including Speedy Romeo, Clementine Bakery, Aita, Meckelburg's, Locanda Vini and Olii, and so much more.
