About This Property

175 Clinton Street is being transformed as we speak. While construction is underway, this presents a unique opportunity: early buyers will have meaningful input on the final product, from selecting finishes to customizing details that matter most to how you live.

Located in Brooklyn Heights Historic District, 175 Clinton Street is a 19th-century townhouse reimagined for a contemporary lifestyle. Behind its meticulously restored historic 1845 Greek Revival facade will be a single-family home designed for breathtaking elegance and modern comfort. This is classic architecture, renewed with thoughtfulness, detail, and intention-offered with a complete design vision, delivered finished, with room for your own expression.

Inside the home, three exposures send light through a space defined by generous ceiling heights and thoughtful proportions. The parlor floor opens into a formal front salon with bay windows anchored by a wood-burning masonry fireplace; this flows into a dining gallery that easily accommodates twelve, to a full kitchen at the rear anchored by a sculptural half-floating island, a breakfast nook with a banquet that seats eight, a walk-in butlers pantry, and a full-wall of glass sliders that opens to a south-facing terrace with room for an outdoor dining table framed by layered greenery.

The garden and lower levels offer endless possibilities. The garden floor functions seamlessly for guests, staff, or extended family, with a private bedroom and en-suite bath, a large adaptable entertaining space that opens to the rear yard. The cellar below is imagined as a wellness retreat, with a gym, media lounge, and infrared sauna with an adjacent shower.

The full-floor primary suite is a quiet sanctuary, with not one but two walk-in closets, an expansive private terrace with room for a seven-piece outdoor furniture set, and a spa-like bath featuring radiant floors, steam shower, and a freestanding soaking tub framed by tree lined windows. A built-in coffee station in the hallway adds another layer of daily indulgence.

The third floor maximizes the space with three bedrooms, each featuring a walk-in closet. Notably, a South-facing ensuite bedroom boasts a cafe patio, a secondary full bath, and a dedicated laundry room equipped with a counter and a Delicate Touch Air System laundry sink. At the top of the home, the vaulted open space rises to a 15-foot peak. A full wall of glass folds away to reveal a south-facing terrace framed by treetops and sky. Whether an art studio, music lounge, or gathering space, it's an expansive treehouse-like space that offers numerous possibilities.

Beneath it all: steel framing, Landmarks-approved triple-pane windows and acoustic insulation throughout. Every detail is designed for serenity and peace. Live in the best of what Brooklyn Heights has to offer, in a townhouse that exudes historic charm from the outside and feels like a modern, luxury experience within.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.

The Greek Revival facade sits in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, and the house behind it is being reworked as a single-family home of 7,000 square feet. Construction's underway, so early buyers can shape finishes and details. Because the work is still going on, the plans and selections are worth reviewing in person.

The front parlor floor has bay windows and a wood-burning masonry fireplace, and it opens into a dining gallery that can seat twelve. The rear kitchen centers on a half-floating island and connects to a breakfast nook with a banquet for eight and a walk-in butler's pantry. Glass sliders run the full width of the back wall and open onto a terrace that faces south, big enough for a dining table set out under greenery. I like how the kitchen, nook and terrace work together for hosting, since you won't have to cross the house to get from prep to table.

The listing gives three exposures, and the terrace off the kitchen faces south. A south-facing window in an open setting can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 6.1 hours on the summer solstice, though nearby buildings can block some of it.

The full-floor primary suite has two walk-in closets, an expansive private terrace big enough for a seven-piece outdoor furniture set, and a bath with radiant floors, a steam shower and a freestanding soaking tub. The third floor has bedrooms with walk-in closets and a dedicated laundry room with a laundry sink. The top vaulted space rises to a 15-foot peak and opens through a full wall of glass to another south-facing terrace.

The garden floor has a private bedroom with an en-suite bath and a large entertaining space that opens to the rear yard. The cellar is planned as a gym, media lounge and infrared sauna with an adjacent shower.

Borough Hall station, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R, is about 6 minutes on foot, and Columbus Park is about the same. Key Food is about a minute away.
