The bones of this two-family townhouse at 362 Clermont Avenue date back to 1899, but inside, a gut renovation has brought the property well into the 21st century. Several wood-burning fireplaces and the original doors were restored while other materials, like the reclaimed wood floors, were carefully sourced to reflect what was originally there. The 22-foot-wide Fort Greene home spans across 3,650 square feet (not including the basement apartment) and is seeking $4.35 million.
The entrance is on the parlor floor, which features a large entryway leading into the east-facing living room. The first of several restored fireplaces anchor the living room and is framed by modern slate tiles. Pocket doors lead to a formal dining room (with its own fireplace) and the eat-in kitchen in the back of the home. Fully equipped with high-end appliances (including a dishwasher), the kitchen is classic with floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry and subway tiles. French doors lead out to a cozy terrace overlooking the backyard below.
The second floor is comprised of two bedrooms that share a full bathroom and the master suite. Located in the back of the home with western exposures, the master includes a large, fireplace-facing sitting area and an en-suite bathroom with a claw foot tub.
The third floor is a full-floor, loft-like recreation area boasting exposed beam ceilings, custom reclaimed wood bookshelves and a stained-glass skylight. There are also two working fireplaces, a wet bar, a full-size refrigerator, and a full bathroom with a steam room. All of that opens onto a 250-square-foot roof terrace with great Brooklyn views.
The garden level unit has a separate entrance and is currently configured as a full-floor one bedroom with two bathrooms and private use of the backyard. Both units come with central air and their own washer and dryer.
