About This Property

Set on a tree-lined street in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, this Brooklyn brownstone brings together historic architectural character, contemporary design and generous indoor and outdoor living areas. Offering approximately 5,000 square feet of interior space across five levels, including a finished cellar, the property is configured as a three-story primary residence with a separate garden-level apartment, combining a substantial single-family home with the added benefit of rental income.

As you pass through the beautifully preserved vestibule, the home's historic character comes into focus through detailed arched doors, original millwork and a grand staircase that rises through the three principal floors. Throughout, exposed brick, hardwood floors and decorative fireplaces celebrate the home's architectural heritage, while newer textures and finishes introduce a modern sensibility.

The parlor level features generous living and dining spaces anchored by a central kitchen with an oversized waterfall island and Viking appliances. At the rear, glass doors open onto an elevated 200-square-foot terrace overlooking a private garden, offering a peaceful retreat for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation.

The second floor features two generously proportioned ensuite bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a decorative fireplace and a bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub and double vanity. On the third floor, two additional bedrooms and a full bath are complemented by an expansive skylit bonus room with sloped ceilings, perfect for use as a family lounge, playroom, home office or creative studio.

The separate garden-level apartment features one bedroom, a dedicated office, open living and dining areas, a full kitchen and direct access to the rear patio. A winding staircase leads to a finished cellar with recreation space, laundry facilities and additional storage.

308 Clifton Place is set amid the distinctive brownstones, acclaimed dining and creative energy of Bedford-Stuyvesant and neighboring Clinton Hill, with convenient access to the G and A/C subway lines.
