    What's special

    CONTRACT SIGNED 22 foot wide Clinton Hill Dream It's the home that realtors in-the-know dream of buying for themselves, on a tree-lined block that's been described as the most bucolic in all of brownstone Brooklyn: 53 Cambridge Place between Gates and Greene. Built in 1856 by Fisher Howe, 53 Cambridge is a noteworthy specimen of mid-19th century Brooklyn architecture. Majestic and gracious at a coveted 22-foot-wide, it possesses all of the brownstone must-haves on your wish list: intricate crown molding throughout the parlor level, floor-length parlor windows with table sills and interior shutters, 5 marble fireplaces, ceiling plaster ornament in acanthus leaf motif, coffin corner niche at the top of the stair, sunny rear garden, gated front garden, and a stately, brick-front Italianate facade, all on a landmarked and quiet as a cul-de-sac block. This dignified beauty has another thing those other listings don't: approved permits. A local family and their award-winning architect spent the last year meticulously planning a stunning restoration, allowing for a family-friendly triplex over a garden rental. The plans were just approved by both NYC Landmarks and the D.O.B. Now, the owners are moving to LA for a work opportunity and must sell the home. The approved designs can easily be transferred in the sale, if desired. Current plans feature a spectacular master suite with his and hers bathrooms. This dream could be yours and work could start immediately. Or, design a new dream with your own architect. The lot is 100' deep and the 4-story home is currently 3600 square feet (not including the cellar), with another 800 square feet of FAR (floor area ratio) permitted for an addition. Perfectly situated in the most picturesque section of Clinton Hill, equidistant from the C and the G, and walking distance to BAM and restaurant row in Fort Greene, with Loconda Vini e Olii just 300 feet away. This home will be a total triumph for the lucky new owners.Call for an appointment or come to our first open house next weekend. Bring your architect and contractor, as this house will move quickly.
