This 4+ bedroom, 2.5 bathroom brownstone triplex is a showstopper. Featuring home offices, incredible storage and closet spaces with automatic lighting, a full laundry room with a built-in hanging rack, a sunny deck, backyard, and a full cellar for more storage. This home was a full gut renovation that we completed in 2024, with top-of-the-line finishes across the property, commitment quality, aesthetics, comfort and functionality. It's also on one of the most special blocks in Clinton Hill, which is the most magical neighborhood.
Up the parlor steps, the classic Brownstone Italianate style double door welcomes you home. There is a large and spacious entryway and a proper coat closet.
The Parlor Level has 11 foot ceilings with lantern chandeliers, oversized windows, and space for multiple seating and entertaining areas. The kitchen designed by a Michelin Starred Chef (me) is a pleasure to cook in, to entertain in, or just to sit and stare out the windows. There is custom millwork with extensive pantries, it's covered in marble, and top-of-the-line appliances. There is a 36" AGA Mercury Range that's lightning fast and incredibly easy to clean with a fully vented hood. A Miele refrigerator is surrounded by more storage cabinets, and the marble top island has multiple drawers, cabinets and a seating counter. The deep sink has a magnetic goose neck faucet with views of the idyllic backyard, with a Bosch Dishwasher to the left.
From the kitchen, step out onto the deck which has stairs to the backyard, which gets wonderful morning light, and great shade from mid afternoon in the summer. It's great to sit on.
A power room is cleverly tucked behind the kitchen, hidden by a pocket door at the top of the stairs to the garden level entrance and cellar stairs.
Up the curved stairs on the second floor are 2+ bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry room, and a Great Room. Overlooking the backyard, there are two bedrooms that get fantastic morning light. The bathroom has terrazzo tile floors, a deep tub/shower combo and a linen closet. The large laundry room with side-by-side full size Washer & Dryer, extensive counter space, built in hanging rack, and a sink allow you to keep the process of washing/drying/and folding hidden. At the front of the home on the street side is a versatile Great Room or 3rd bedroom with an 8ft wide solid wood pocket door.
The top floor is the Primary Suite. At the top of the stairs is an open office. The en-suite bathroom has Zellige tile, scones and brass faucet sets, double sinks, custom marble vanity, and multiple windows with views for days. There is a walk-in shower with glass door, a terrific free-standing deep soaking tub, and a WC with a privacy pocket door. It's very special.
Next door to the bathroom is a huge skylit walk-in closet, which could also serve as a nursery, and then across the front of the building facing South West is the primary bedroom, perched above the trees along St James Place.
St James, which is between Greene Ave and Grand Ave, is just a magical block. Clinton Hill is famous for its Brownstone facades protected by the NYC Landmarks Commission, and this is one of the most special. Pratt campus is a down the block. Place de Fete, Leon & Sons, Emily Pizza, Stone Fruit, Otway and Otway Bakery, Locanda Vini & Oli are just a few of the nearby restaurants, wine shops that make this the most special neighborhood in Brooklyn.
