A Rare Gem on Mansion Row - Pre-War Beauty in The Historic District of Clinton Hill! Welcome to your own piece of Brooklyn history. Nestled along the storied and architecturally rich Mansion Row on Clinton Avenue, this exceptional one-bedroom co-op built in 1875 captures the magic and romance of pre-war grandeur, imbued with the irresistible charm of Clinton Hill living. Set on an extra-wide, tree-lined block where old-growth trees stretch toward the sky and the scent of jasmine lingers, this home is part of an iconic, beautifully maintained building absolutely resplendent with original detail. From the moment you step into the lobby you're transported by the ornate woodwork, unique cast-iron detailing, and sweeping wood paneled staircases that reflect a bygone era of 19th century craftsmanship and style. The sprawling front-gated garden invites you down a grand and elegant path lined with colorful flowers and trees, framed by a towering cast-iron Victorian-era street-lamp. The sizable communal back garden and patio is a sanctuary waiting for you and your guests to gather and enjoy the warm weather months. A shared washer and dryer are located within the building. There is personal storage as well as space allotted for one bike for this apartment. Inside the apartment, soaring ceilings and oversized windows bathe the space in natural light, highlighting lovingly preserved original features: pocket shutters at every window, the home's original carved marble mantles surround two decorative fireplaces, picture moldings throughout, hand-nailed oak floors, and almost 12 foot ceilings. The spacious bedroom offers tranquility and privacy, an enormous closet and peaceful tree top views. The living and dining area is generous in size and perfect both for relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen, tucked off the living space, is cleverly planned with an abundance of cabinets spanning floor to ceiling, and through its west-facing window overlooks the front garden. The Art Deco bathroom will charm you with its pale salmon pink tiles, vintage hardware and a gracious bathtub. There are plenty of closets throughout the apartment to meet a wide variety of storage needs. The co-op is pet-friendly. Located mere minutes from Fort Greene Park, its bustling Farmers Market, a bevy of beloved neighborhood eateries, artisanal shops, parks, convenient to several modes of public transportation, this home is more than a place to live - it's a place to belong. Rarely do opportunities like this come along: a one-bedroom home with an old soul, unique history, and presence on one of Brooklyn's most majestic avenues. Come fall in love with Clinton Hill at its most enchanting. First Open House Sunday, June 1st from 1:30 to 3pm, no appointment needed.
