355 Clinton Avenue 10-H

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by City Connections Realty Inc.

Laundry is in the building, and so are a bike room, a storage space and an elevator, so a fair amount of the day-to-day setup is already in place. The courtyard and garden give the building shared outdoor space, and there's a recreation room and a security guard on site as well. The grounds are landscaped, which adds to the courtyard.

The apartment is listed as a one-bedroom, and the listing points out that the separate dining area could become a second bedroom with minimal modifications. I like that option, because it lets a buyer decide later how the home should work. The primary bedroom fits a king-size bed, and the living room is generously proportioned, with original parquet hardwood floors underfoot. Excellent closet space runs throughout the apartment.

Think of the windows as the first thing you'll notice.

The oversized windows were newly renovated and updated, and the apartment has a city view with Brooklyn skyline views, according to the listing. The kitchen has a window and room to explore a more open layout. An open plan can make a home feel more connected, though it gives less separation between cooking and relaxing.

The G at Clinton-Washington Avenue is about 1 minute on foot, and the C at the same station is about 8 minutes away. Underwood Park and Waverly Urban Market are each about 1 minute away, and the Clinton Hill Library is also close by. Pratt Institute is about 8 minutes away. The building is part of the Clinton Hill Co-ops South Campus, designed by Wallace K. Harrison and listed as historic. Pets are allowed, subject to co-op policies, and parking and additional storage depend on availability. Any purchase here runs through a building-specific financial review and a board decision, so your attorney should review those terms early.
