275 Clinton Avenue   Unit 34

Situated on one of the most architecturally significant blocks in all of Brooklyn, otherwise known as "Mansion Row," 275 Clinton Avenue is that rare elevator pre-war co-op that was built to accommodate just 32 stately family-sized apartments, and stand the test of time. Distinguished by an ornate limestone and brick fa ade designed and built by Edward Betts in 1897, a picturesque landscaped front yard on the outside, and soaring ceilings, great light, hardwood floors, and a plethora of intact period woodwork on the inside, it does not disappoint. At approx. 1500 SF, this voluminous 3 bed, 2 bath home stands apart from the crowd through the sheer scale of its rooms, including a windowed chef's kitchen, oversized living room, and most notably, an elegant formal dining room perfectly placed within reach of the kitchen and living spaces. This home has light and drama to spare, including oversized west-facing windows over the treetops of Clinton Avenue, stunning fireplace mantles, an original Tiger oak and glass display case, ornate window and door casings, and a full wall of finely crafted millwork bookshelves perfect to house your personal collections.

All of these rich and historic details create the perfect environment for both everyday comfortable living and special occasion entertaining. If you like to cook at home, then look no further! This apartment has a windowed suburban-sized kitchen dedicated to the creation of your delicacies and includes ample storage and counterspace, Wolf 5-Burner cooktop, Frigidaire Gallery Series' Oven, Bosch dishwasher, Maytag French door fridge, and an entire wall dedicated to a custom floor-to-ceiling wood and glass pantry. A secret spice rack/door opens up to a hidden away full-size Kenmore vented washer and dryer, a treasure to behold!

An additional feature is the great separation between the common living spaces and the bedrooms. Entertain comfortably while others are sleeping, and if working from home is more your lifestyle these days, you will have three bedrooms to choose from, all with high ceilings and stylish lighting. The Primary bedroom offers a California Closet walk-in dressing area and an ensuite bath with classic subway tile walls and mosaic floors. The middle bedroom includes a stylish and modern Murphy bed that doubles as either a fully functional desk OR a full-sized bed, depending on your needs. The third bedroom is spacious, and all three bedrooms enjoy great closets and original details. The windowed guest bathroom is a timeless masterpiece with a sculptural clawfoot tub that includes a shower, plus a honed marble-topped wood vanity with great storage.

This scenic intersection of Clinton and Dekalb avenues is one of the most convenient and pleasurable corners of all the world to call home. Indulge in the culturally diverse amenities of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill including world-class dining, bookstores, galleries, artisanal shops, Fort Greene Park (and its off-leash dog hours, tennis courts and farmer's market), the Navy Yard, Pratt Institute, and Wegmans, all at your doorstep. Neighborhood faves include Roman's, Evelina, Public House, Dosa Royale, Colonia Verde, Dick and Jane's, Brooklyn Hero Shop, and Elly's market for your everyday needs. Subways are also easily accessible at the corner of Clinton and Lafayette. Building amenities include a private storage room for every unit, ample bike and scooter storage, a casual gym, and an incredible private garden area with a custom kitchen that includes a BBQ for outdoor evenings with friends and family. A cozy lounge and library welcome you home every day, an elegant and friendly reminder of this building's esteemed literary past and present.
