Rich in historic character, the home retains several original architectural details, including decorative fireplace mantels, ornate moldings, and a period mirror that reflect its timeless craftsmanship.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A 20 by 40 foot footprint gives this Clinton Hill brownstone room to work with, and it's set up as a double duplex. The listing describes a two-family house of 3,200 square feet with six bedrooms and four bathrooms, originally built in the late 19th century.
What's already in place is the historic detail. Decorative fireplace mantels, ornate moldings and a period mirror remain in the house, so a renovation can be planned around them from the start.
The house needs renovation and is sold as-is, so the plan will shape most of the decisions. A double duplex leaves room to choose between an owner's home, an income property or a mix of both, and it's delivered fully vacant at closing.
Daily errands are short walks. Key Food and Calyer Cafe & Kitchen are each about 3 minutes away, and Petee's Cafe is about 3 minutes as well. The G train at Clinton-Washington Avs is about 13 minutes on foot.
Pratt Institute is about 6 minutes away, and BAM Harvey Theater is about 22 minutes on foot. Steuben, Taaffe and Classon Playgrounds are each within about 7 minutes.
