Clinton St

Rarely do corner brownstones of such spacious grandeur become available. Rarer still with such sumptuous period details. This vast 27 foot wide home is 65 feet deep on four floors and totals over 6400 square feet of living space. The lower duplex alone is the size of most 4 story townhouses, and the rooms are not only large, but beautifully proportioned. Located on a prime North Carroll Gardens block, it features Italianate cornices, period chandeliers, a wood burning fireplace with beautifully carved marble mantle and countless other historic details. Light streams in from four exposures.

This classic brownstone is currently configured as a three family, featuring a stunning lower duplex with an expansive parlor, formal dining room, breakfast or media room, gourmet kitchen and full bath on the main floor. On the garden level are three generous bedrooms and a charming sitting or dressing room. A rear courtyard perfect for grilling and outdoor entertaining is accessed from the parlor and garden levels.

The two floor-through apartments seem to go on forever. Both have large living areas, separate dining rooms or home offices and spacious kitchens and baths. The second-floor apartment has a private terrace. There are washer/dryers and dishwashers in both rental units. As with the lower duplex, the abundant windows afforded by the corner lot bring lovely light into both spacious apartments. These high income rental units can be easily incorporated into a grand home with as many as 12 bedrooms.

In addition there is an undeveloped attic and an immaculate full cellar which provides generous storage, as well as a workshop. This crown jewel brings handsome rental income or can be converted to a showpiece single family home. It is perfectly located near transportation and the shops and restaurants of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill
