276 Waverly Ave

One-of-a-kind and elegant inside and out, this 22 ft wide landmarked corner-property with a MODERN PARKING GARAGE was built in 1901. Designed by architect Montrose W. Morris in 1889, this three-story round tower with a conical roof is reminiscent of a romantic castle and is part of a trio of exceptional American Romanesque Revival style rows in Brooklyn. Spacious and versatile with 7 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a deck, a courtyard and a 357 SF modern garage, the TWO-FAMILY MANSION is currently configured as a six-bedroom triplex over a one bedroom apartment. The front rooms, starting from the parlor floor and extending up to the third floor, exhibit elegance with the curved wall design that leads to a captivating dome-like ceiling on the highest level. The architectural elements and preserved original features make this property a true gem. The combination of built-in bookshelves, pocket doors, wood coffered ceilings, 8 wood-burning fireplaces, stained glass windows, a skylight, carved wood craftsmanship throughout and parquet floors adds exceptional character and grandeur to the interior spaces. This magnificent home has served as a filming location for scenes in several movies and TV shows including "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Brown Sugar." The tower of 289 Dekalb Avenue boasts several noteworthy features that contribute to its architectural beauty. The presence of dwarf columns, forming a cluster, serves to protect a stained-glass transom on a first-floor window. Another distinctive detail is the checkerboard pattern of stone blocks positioned between the second and third floors. Additionally, the third story showcases round arches supported by clustered columns, adding to the visual appeal of the tower. Moving to the side facade of the house, it is adorned with brick, creating an elegant and timeless appearance. The facade incorporates a series of projecting and recessed bays, further enhancing the architectural complexity and overall charm of the property. These design elements contribute to the unique and captivating aesthetic of the property. Located in prime Clinton Hill at the border of Fort Greene offers residents easy access to Fort Greene Park, other public playgrounds and plazas for outdoor activities. The proximity to BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), independent bookstores, excellent restaurants, and gyms provides a vibrant and cultural neighborhood experience. Furthermore, being close to Barclays Center and having easy access to multiple train lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, N, Q, R, C, G, B, D, and LIRR, ensures convenient transportation options for commuting or exploring the city.
