205 Clinton Street
Description
Masterfully designed by award-winning Brooklyn architect Mike Ingui, this bespoke residence is the result of more than two years of thoughtful planning and rigorous landmark approvals. Modern interventions and engineering join lovingly preserved historical details, like original fireplace mantels, cleverly repurposed stained glass windows, beautifully restored by hand, a stunning pier mirror that adds a touch of grandeur to the space – all seamlessly integrated into modern living. Thoughtfully designed staircase niches capture the timeless charm of classic brownstone architecture. Original brick was repurposed to create arched doorways in the home's wine cellar. Ceilings soar up to 14 feet high over hand-sanded white wide-plank oak flooring. Ultra-high-end triple-pane windows glide, tilt or turn with ease and keep the neighborhood noise out. Custom millwork, Waterworks fixtures, swaths of marble, and a stunning hand-carved staircase run throughout.
The drama of the space and volume greets you the moment you enter through the parlor foyer, where views stretch over this massive space and into the rear yard. In the living/dining room, entertain alongside a marble gas fireplace (which can be converted to wood-burning should you prefer) and custom walnut and marble bar with a Sub-Zero wine cooler and ice maker. Ahead looking across the home’s stunning 30-foot tall triple-height center atrium, the gourmet kitchen impresses with double-height ceilings, walnut millwork, and top of the line appliances, including a stainless steel AGA Elise induction range, two Miele dishwashers, and Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer columns and drawers. Take casual meals at the built-in banquette or the massive island topped by a single slab of 2-inch marble, and enjoy the convenience of the concealed charging station and coffee bar. Outside, the yard welcomes al fresco entertaining with a bluestone patio, SynLawn yard, an Ipe pergola and an outdoor kitchen with built-in gas grill.
On the garden level, a lovely salon flows to a stately home office or guest bedroom. The oversized mudroom delivers generous storage for all of your gear from boots to bikes. A powder room for the main living space and a full bathroom are located at this level. One floor down, a 13-foot-tall great room invites all to relax with another wet bar and wine lovers will delight over an extraordinary 500-bottle wine cellar with dedicated cooling system and arched doorways. A fitness space is complemented by a spa bathroom with steam shower. Additional storage and the home’s mechanicals are also located on this level.
One floor above the parlor, the exquisite primary suite opens to an East-facing terrace overlooking the yard below. A windowed walk-in closet offers generous wardrobe storage, while the oversized en suite bathroom features a soaking tub, benched shower, private water closet, heated floors and double vanity with Waterworks fixtures surrounded by Calacatta marble. The fireplace den on this floor is perfect as a sitting area, nursery or media lounge with an en suite bathroom, featuring a clean fuel fireplace. On the fourth floor, you'll find a secondary suite with en suite bath, plus two more bedrooms that share an oversized hall bath with double sinks. A proper laundry room with two sets of large-capacity washer-dryers, a sink and folding area, makes laundry day a breeze.
The top-floor clubhouse is the cherry on top. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living and world-class entertaining with a tasteful kitchenette, multiple living spaces, a 15-foot skylight and huge sliding doors that open up a span of12-feet to reveal a terrace with a gas fireplace. Above, the ultra-rare, hot tub-ready roof deck delivers 360-degree views of iconic skylines, the East River and dazzling sunsets.
Built in the 1850s, this home's near-complete reconstruction included truly everything inside the walls along with reverent façade updates that faithfully restored the original architectural ornamentation. Twelve-zone HVAC, new 400-amp electrical service, Lutron lighting, integrated top of the line Polk audio. Ring cameras, and high-speed internet in every room make this the model of modern living. Perfect for entertaining, the six zone audio system can play the same music throughout the home or different music in each zone.
From this tree-lined block in the Cobble Hill Historic District, you'll enjoy easy access to world-renowned shopping and dining along Court and Smith Streets and Atlantic Avenue. Cobble Hill Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park provide fantastic outdoor space and recreation nearby.
