393 Clinton Street

Remarkable Turn-of-the-Century Masterpiece in the Heart of Carroll Gardens A rare corner brownstone graced with four exposures and scintillating old world details throughout, this one-of-a-kind multi-family townhouse is a stunning rendition of early 20th century Italianate Revival architecture impeccably maintained and restored for the modern age. 393 Clinton Street rises four stories and spans 25 feet wide with updated mechanicals and gas infrastructure. It has a lovely backyard terrace with a gated street entrance and is composed of three floor-through apartments saturated with natural light. The upper level of the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom owner’s duplex begins with a grand living room with soaring ceilings, oversized arched windows, and enchanting original details including ornate ceiling molding and medallions, chandeliers, and a carved white marble wood-burning fireplace. An arched doorway with Corinthian columns and double pocket doors flows into a formal dining room with access to the kitchen. The windowed galley-style kitchen has exposed red- brick accents and is adorned with sleek granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a suite of stainless steel appliances. Finishing the upper level is a bedroom, study, or office with a full bathroom and access to a grilling deck leading down to the backyard. The lower level has three spacious bedrooms, a windowed full bathroom, double reach-in storage closets, and a side-by-side washer/dryer. One of the bedrooms has an attached library/sitting room with direct access to the backyard. The third and fourth floors of the property contain sun-drenched 1.5-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental apartments to generate additional income or host live-in relatives or guests. Each apartment has hardwood floors, huge living and dining rooms, a washer/dryer, and a windowed galley kitchen with contemporary finishes and appliances. One of the apartments has a private deck overlooking the backyard. 393 Clinton Street sits across from the Carroll Gardens Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library and is surrounded by pretty brownstones and verdant tree-lined streets. It is a block from the main pedestrian strips of Henry and Court Streets, which feature numerous trendy restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. Carroll Park is two blocks away, and the F/G subway lines offer an easy commute to Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Long Island City, and Manhattan.
