About This Property
FIRST TWO BEDROOM RESALE AT 186 CLINTON AVENUE WITH MONTHLIES UNDER $1,000.
Set within a landmark-worthy 1891 limestone mansion in the heart of Clinton Hill, Residence 2B is a beautifully designed two-bedroom, one-bath home combining historic character, modern finishes, and exceptionally low monthly costs.
Restored by The Brooklyn Home Company, the approximately 978-square-foot residence features nearly 11-foot ceilings, wide-plank white oak flooring by Madera, designer lighting, and an airy, well-proportioned layout. The spacious living and dining area opens directly onto an incredible 645-square-foot private garden, creating a seamless extension of the home and a rare amount of private outdoor space.
The kitchen is finished with custom cabinetry, honed Carrara marble countertops, a vented Bertazzoni range, and Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher. Two comfortable bedrooms sit down the hall, along with an oversized marble bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity.
Additional conveniences include an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, split-system HVAC, video intercom, and generous storage.
Designed in 1891 by celebrated architect Montrose W. Morris, 186 Clinton Avenue is an intimate condominium surrounded by the best of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. Fort Greene Park, Pratt Institute, BAM, Barclays Center, neighborhood restaurants, cafés and shops are all close by, with convenient access to the G and C trains, buses and CitiBike.
A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom with substantial private outdoor space and total monthly carrying costs under $1,000.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A private garden opens directly off the living and dining area of this 978-square-foot apartment, so the outdoor space works as an extension of the main rooms. A private garden is a meaningful amenity in the city, and I'd put it at the top of your list when you walk through.
Nearly 11-foot ceilings give the main rooms volume, and they leave you more room to decide how to furnish them. The wide-plank white oak floors and designer lighting carry through the layout, and Montrose W. Morris designed the building, which The Brooklyn Home Company restored.
The kitchen has custom cabinetry, honed Carrara marble countertops and a vented Bertazzoni range. A Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher complete the setup, so the daily cooking and cleanup have what they need.
Two bedrooms sit down the hall from the living space. The oversized marble bathroom has a soaking tub, a separate shower and a double vanity.
An in-unit Bosch washer and dryer means laundry stays inside the apartment. Split-system HVAC, a video intercom and generous storage round out the practical side of the home.
Fort Greene Park is about 6 minutes on foot, and Mr. Coco, a greengrocer, is about 1 minute away. The Clinton-Washington Avenue G stop is about 8 minutes on foot, so you'll have a short walk to the subway.
