Asking $3.75M, this corner townhouse in Clinton Hill has an art studio and romantic garden
Built 1892 by prestigious Brooklyn architect John G. Glover, the Romanesque Revival townhouse at 231 Washington Avenue in the heart of Clinton Hill anchors the corner of its block with a presence that matches the best of the historic neighborhood. With a three-sided projecting bay masked by an imposing arcade around arched windows on the parlor level, this one-time mansion of stone and Roman brick is accessed by a two-part stoop. The well-maintained 4,300-square-foot, three-family corner house is over 22 feet wide and filled with original details.
Though it’s legally a four-family dwelling, the house is configured as a three-family home made up of a lower duplex and two upper apartments (it will be delivered vacant). The parlor floor is framed by 11-foot ceilings, oversized arched windows, tall baseboards, intricate window surrounds and intact interior shutters.
On the home’s garden floor you’ll find a windowed kitchen and dining room as well as a bedroom and art studio that opens onto the verdant garden that surrounds the property.
The upper floors offer two spacious two-bedroom-plus-alcove, one-bath apartments for extra income. Alternately you can combine all floors for a rambling family fortress.
