For buyers who dream of a Brooklyn brownstone with well-preserved historic details, open sun-filled rooms, and verdant gardens and terraces, this $8,250,000 townhouse at 224 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill checks all the boxes. At 4,800 square feet–25 feet wide and 48 feet deep–no compromise is needed on living space; the two-family home already has a separate living space on the garden floor that requires only minor construction to be an income-producing one-bedroom flat.

Built in 1847, the home was freshly renovated this year. Rooms include an elegant triple parlor, seven bedrooms, and a full cellar. Some 21st-century luxuries include a built-in sound system, open, light-filled rooms, and modern, well-appointed kitchens and baths. As a rare bonus, an unfinished fifth-floor attic offers additional possibilities.

On the home’s skylit top floor are three bedrooms. The largest includes original glazed pocket doors that reveal a pretty sitting area. A spacious laundry room and a walk-in hall closet add convenience; this closet provides access to the “secret” fifth-floor attic, which could be converted into a cozy sleeping loft.

The home’s garden level is currently used as an integrated suite, but it could easily be made into a self-contained private apartment. A large, bright living room features a projection screen and surround sound. This open great room also offers a dining area and a renovated kitchen anchored by a honed black granite island. Also on this level are a bedroom and bathroom. From this floor, you can step right into the rear garden.
