In addition to being in the heart of historic Clinton Hill, this one-bedroom co-op sits on the neighborhood’s “mansion row,” as one of 11 units in a converted 1870s limestone mansion at 269 Clinton Avenue. Asking $899,000, the apartment has pre-war charm in full effect, with well-maintained original details throughout.
Past a wrought-iron gate, a stone path leads through a beautifully-planted front garden set back from the street, anchored by a tall cast-iron Victorian-era street lamp. There is also a garden and patio for residents at the back of the building.
The lobby’s ornate woodwork and cast-iron details introduce the building’s finely crafted origins. Within the apartment, 12-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and hand-nailed diagonal oak flooring frame a space with a timelessly unique vibe. Original features include pocket window shutters, carved marble mantles, and picture moldings throughout.
A generously-sized living and dining room is served by a compact kitchen that overlooks the front garden. Organic materials like slate and wood create a warm and tactile space with plenty of storage.
A breezy bedroom gets a huge closet and treetop views. The bathroom’s deco-era vibe includes salmon-pink tiles, a pedestal sink, and vintage hardware.
The pet-friendly building has a communal back patio garden for summer entertaining. Additional perks include a shared washer and dryer, personal storage, and bike storage.
