39 Clifton Pl UNIT 1, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Calling all shopkeepers and romantics! Imagine living in a beautiful 2,200 sq. ft. duplex loft, tending to a garden and bees on the roof deck, while working downstairs in a charming carriage house. Plus, enjoy collecting substantial rent from a chic and beautiful wine bar that just opened downstairs. Whether you're considering a 1031 tax exchange, a condo project, or a high-income/high-cap rate investment, 39 Clifton Place has it all. Located on a historic corner at Clifton Place and Grand Avenue in Brooklyn's sought-after Clinton Hill neighborhood, this unique 19th-century building offers exceptional opportunities. Spanning 20 feet on Clifton and extending 100 feet around the corner to the lot line, the property originally consisted of two buildings; a three-story townhouse at 39 Clifton Place, built in 1876 by developer Benjamin Linikin in an Italianate/Neo Grec style, and later, a two-story carriage house at 290 Grand Avenue. The building  has been meticulous in maintaining its historic facade and has won awards from NYC Landmarks for its extensive historic renovation of its facade, storefronts and cornices. Currently, the building is a mixed-use property with two retail spaces and three residential loft-style apartments. There are two 2-bedroom lofts measuring approximately 1,100 sq. ft. each with outdoor spaces, which could be combined if desired. The third unit is an open floor plan loft, about 700 sq. ft., above the carriage house store. The top floor two bedroom  loft on the top floor of 39 Clifton, is a classic rambling floor through and  has been renovated beautifully with a top of the line galley kitchen, multiple skylights  and an Incredible teak 20x20 roof deck immediately off the kitchen. The loft on the 2nd floor of 39 Clifton is also a two bedroom  floor through but the layout is different with an open kitchen and island blending into the living room. The apartment has been partially renovated and has a washer/drier, new tiled bath with a tiled shower stall. The front of the loft faces due south and has a roof deck/terrace just off the living room. The third residential space is in the carriage house at 290 Grand Ave but shares an entry way with the other two spaces. It is a true classic loft without dividing  walls, has exposed ceiling beams and exposed brick walls. It is perfect for a residential studio, or office/showroom. The corner retail space was added in the early 20th century when the original townhouse facade was modified. It is about 1100sf in the interior and has a full basement for storage. Entre Nous is the new tenant, specializing in French wines and French specialties. It  opened recently to wide acclaim including being noted by Florence Fabricant's  in her write up "Off the Menu" in The New York Times, who called it “…spacious with 3500 bottles in its cellar…”. The wine bar will be the one remaining tenant in the sale of the building. The second retail space is in the carriage house on the Grand Avenue side and originally was two stores and two addresses. Now, it is used as one retail space but retains the two original entry way doors which were restored beautifully along with the historic plate glass storefront. This store will be delivered vacant and would work well as a shop or gallery. It has a full basement for storage. Clifton Place is one of those special Clinton Hill shorter streets, stretching only three  blocks, from Classon Avenue  to St James Place. This particular block of Clifton between Grand Ave and Lafayette Ave was always a chic outpost with Choice, the neighborhood's original French gourmet restaurant, situated on the corner at Lafayette, where locals sit outside in cafe seating sunning themselves. All mechanicals are in good working order. Real Estate Taxes are  $26,000.
