Unlike many brownstones, where the lack of light can be an issue, this one has a top-floor sunroom for year-round Vitamin D — with two terraces on either side.
It’s wired as a smart home, so you can control the surround sound, lighting, thermostat, and security system on your phone from wherever you might be.
The kitchen is equipped with a Bosch range and appliances, a vented exhaust and a brag-worthy kitchen pot-filler faucet over the stove. Other luxuries include a steam-spa shower, double vanity, and a claw-foot tub.
The brownstone is located on the border of Clinton Hill and the gold coast of Bedford Stuyvesant, close to transportation and all kinds of culture, from live music to farm-to-table restaurants.
It’s convenient to a slew of subways: the A/C if you’re going to Manhattan; the Franklin Avenue Shuttle if you’re going to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, or greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza; and the G train if you’re popping over to Williamsburg for dinner. It’s also a straight shot to the cinema at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
For those keeping it hyperlocal, there’s a spate of destination restaurants (Speedy Romeo, Saraghina, Peaches Hothouse, Alice’s Arbor, The Finch, Locanda Vini e Olii), stylish bars (Doris, Dynaco, Glorietta Baldy), smartly curated wine shops (Bed-Vyne, Bondi Wine & Spirits), and well-stocked grocery stores (Associated, Metropolitan Citymarket, Mekelburg’s, and there’s always Amazon Fresh) to accommodate even the most ambitious home cook.
Not an all-cash buyer? This property is a two-family house, which means the rental income can go a long way toward paying down your mortgage. The Hyundai Module solar panels save you a few bucks as well.
This is an exclusive listing by Ralph Modica and Brandon Bogard of Compass. The ask is $2.4295 million.
