About This Property
Welcome to 21 Lefferts Place, Unit 1 - a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom garden duplex spanning 1,566 square feet, complete with over 800 square feet of private outdoor space. This full floor-through home offers a seamless balance of light, scale, and functionality across two levels.
At the front of the home, you're welcomed into an open, south-facing living and dining area filled with natural light throughout the day. The minimalistic designer kitchen is seamlessly integrated into the space, defined by warm wood cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a continuous stone countertop and backsplash. The layout feels cohesive and intentional, allowing the kitchen to complement the living area while still maintaining its own presence within the room.
Both bedrooms are positioned at the quiet north-facing rear of the home, overlooking the private backyard. The primary suite offers a calm, private retreat with excellent closet space and a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom featuring large-format stone tile, a glass-enclosed shower, and a custom vanity. The second bedroom is well-proportioned and flexible, ideal for guests or a home office, with a second full bathroom finished in the same refined palette just off the hall.
Downstairs, a spacious recreation/media room provides a completely separate living zone-ideal for a home theater, gym, office, or additional lounge area. A powder room on this level adds convenience, making it a highly functional extension of the home.
The private backyard spans over 800 square feet and is directly accessible from the main level, offering a rare and meaningful outdoor extension. Thoughtfully designed with a mix of patio and planting areas, it easily accommodates dining, lounging, and entertaining.
Additional features include in-unit laundry, ample storage, and a true floor-through design with both southern and northern exposures, bringing consistent natural light throughout the home.
Set within an intimate six-unit boutique condominium, Unit 4 delivers modern design, quiet treetop living, and a prime Clinton Hill location
near neighborhood favorites as Smør, Otway, Sisters, Hartleys and The Good Batch Bakery and within moments from the C trains.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Central air and hardwood floors are already in place, so the main living spaces are ready to use from the day you move in. The home is one of six units in a boutique condominium, which gives the building a small, settled feel.
The open living and dining area faces south, and the listing describes it as full of natural light. Spring is a good season to see it. For the spring equinox, direct sun reaches the south side from 8:04 AM to 6:02 PM, about 10 hours, though nearby buildings can block it. The kitchen shares that room with warm wood cabinetry, integrated appliances, and stone counters and backsplash that run without a break, so cooking and the living space stay connected.
Both bedrooms sit at the north-facing rear, overlooking the backyard. The primary suite has generous closet space and an en-suite bath with stone tile across the floor and walls, a shower with glass walls, and a custom vanity. The second bedroom works well as a guest room or an office, and it's got its own full bath just off the hall.
The backyard is more than 800 square feet and opens directly from the main level. It has a mix of patio and planting areas, so it can handle a table and chairs as easily as a quiet corner with plants. In the city, a private garden of that size is a real outdoor room, and having it one step from the kitchen means you'll actually use it.
The C train at Clinton-Washington Avenue is about 5 minutes on foot, and the Franklin Avenue station, served by the C and S, is about 8 minutes. For groceries, Key Food is about 2 minutes away, and Smǿr is about 3 minutes for bread and pastries.
