Rare opportunity to create a custom four-story brownstone in the Clinton Hill Historic District with Landmarks approval secured and Department of Buildings approval delivered at closing.
Approved plans call for conversion to a two-family residence, including a 13-foot rear extension at the garden and parlor levels, expanding the home to approximately 19.5’ × 55’. The extension meaningfully enhances the scale of the primary living spaces while preserving the integrity of the historic façade.
Inside, an exceptional amount of original architectural detail remains intact. Grand proportions — including soaring 12-foot ceilings at the parlor level — provide remarkable volume and light. Classic townhouse scale and preserved period elements create the ideal foundation for a thoughtful, high-end restoration.
The proposed layout features a spacious owner’s triplex spanning the parlor, third, and fourth floors, complemented by a separate garden-level rental. Plans also include a generous private terrace off the primary bedroom, offering a rare outdoor retreat within a landmarked district.
Located moments from Pratt Institute, the garden apartment presents meaningful supplemental rental income potential, providing flexibility and long-term value for an end user.
With approvals in place and DOB approval delivered at closing, the next owner can proceed directly toward construction — avoiding the typical delays associated with landmarked renovations.
