Men yon opòtinite ki ra pou viv nan yon kay an brik ki prèske 23 pye lajè, ki sitiye sou yon bèl blòk bò pak, ak yon seri detay istorik, twa espas deyò ki plen solèy, yon sal solèy dramatik nan twazyèm etaj la, ansanm ak pakin prive. John Greacen te bati kay la an 1849 nan yon stil tranzisyonèl ki konbine eleman Renesans Grèk ak konsepsyon Italyan, epi 247 Clinton Street toujou konsève kornich orijinal li, pòtik li, lento fenèt li yo, konsepsyon pòt antre a, ansanm ak anpil lòt detay achitekti.

Kay la chita nan kwen Verandah Place, anfas Cobble Hill Park, epi li bay sou tèt pyebwa ki plen fèy pak la ak sou tout pak la. Kounye a, li òganize kòm yon triplex ki anlè yon apatman nan nivo jaden an, men kay la toujou konsève bèl pwopòsyon li yo, karaktè achitekti li, ak lespri konsepsyon orijinal li kòm yon kay pou yon sèl fanmi. Kay la òganize avèk anpil élégans, atravè yon bèl seri espas ki chaje ak limyè solèy, ki santi yo alafwa akeyan, cho ak entim. Se yon kote ki fè w anvi eksplore l epi rete ladan l.

Yon eskalye devan ki wo mennen nan yon vestibül elegant ak etaj salon an, kote plafon yo monte plis pase 11 pye. Fenèt wo yo, ak panno orijinal yo, montre pak la epi fè limyè natirèl antre byen fon nan kay la pandan tout jounen an. Salon devan an gen yon fou ki boule bwa, pandan sal manje ki pi lwen an gen yon chemine ki boule bwa ak yon mantèl dekore ak eskilti.

Nan dèyè etaj salon an, pòt ki glise antre nan miray la louvri sou yon bèl sal solèy, yon kwizin ki gen fenèt, yon gadmanje, ansanm ak yon teras ki chaje ak solèy epi ki bay sou jaden an. Pwoteje kont ajitasyon vil la, lakou dèyè a se yon refij ki ekstraòdinèman trankil ak prive, sa ki kreye yon bèl anviwònman pou manje deyò, resevwa envite, fè jadinaj, oswa tou senpleman jwi lavi chak jou.

Nan twazyèm etaj la, chanm prensipal la gen yon gwo pandri kote moun ka antre epi yon twalèt prive ekstraòdinè, inik, ke ou dwe wè pou w kwè. Avèk nèf fenèt ki bay nan direksyon nò, lwès ak sid, yon fou ki boule bwa, ansanm ak yon pòt ki louvri sou yon gwo teras ki plen solèy, chanm sa a bay enpresyon li fè pati yon fèm élégance nan Hudson Valley ki fèk renove.

Katriyèm etaj la gen de gwo chanm ki plen solèy, ak bèl panoram sou pak la, twati yo ak bilding ki pi lwen yo nan direksyon lwès ak lès, tankou flèch legliz St. Paul’s la, ki te bati an 1838. Etaj sa a gen ladan tou yon twalèt konplè, yon sal lesiv, ansanm ak yon biwo ki gen fenèt oswa yon ti chanm ki ofri bèl panorama sou pak la. Anwo koulwa a, yon limyè-syèl won ki rele oculus fè limyè natirèl desann sou eskalye a pandan tout jounen an.

Nivo jaden an òganize kòm yon apatman ki gen yon chanm epi li gen yon mantèl chemine istorik, yon gwo kwizin, ansanm ak de pòt ki louvri dirèkteman sou lakou dèyè a. Yo ka antre nan nivo sa a depi eskalye prensipal kay la, oswa atravè yon antre apa ki anba eskalye devan an. Nan sousòl la gen yon machin pou lave ak yon seche rad, ansanm ak sistèm mekanik kay la ki byen antreteni, tankou enstalasyon elektrik la ki te modènize dènyèman.

Eksteryè miray nò a, ki fè fas ak Verandah Place, toujou montre tras yon ansyen ouvèti fenèt istorik ki te ranpli ak brik, ansanm ak yon lento an brik ki gen fòm ark segmantè ak yon rebò fenèt an brik. Si Komisyon Konsèvasyon Moniman yo apwouve sa, sa ta ka ofri yon opòtinite pou retabli yon fenèt nan chanm devan twazyèm etaj la, avèk bèl vi sou Cobble Hill Park ak sou Clinton Street nan direksyon nò.

Pou fini, kay la vini ak yon espas pakin prive ki kache sou Verandah Place, yon ti pasaj charmant ki sanble ak yon mews—yon avantaj ki prèske enposib jwenn nan Cobble Hill.

Pozisyon privilejye 247 Clinton Street, nan kè Cobble Hill, fè l yon kote ideyal pou viv. Anplis Cobble Hill Park ki dirèkteman anfas lari a, Brooklyn Bridge Park ak bèl bòdmè li a toupre. Nan kèk blòk sèlman, gen yon seri restoran moun renmen anpil, boutik ak sèvis katye. Liy métro 2/3, 4/5, F, G, R ak A/C, ansanm ak ferry a, toupre tou, sa ki pèmèt aksè fasil pou ale Manhattan ak rès vil la. Vin vizite kay ekstraòdinè sa a epi fè l tounen dekor pou pwochen chapit lavi w nan Brooklyn!

Here’s a rare opportunity to live in a nearly 23-foot-wide brick townhouse on a beautiful park block, with an array of historic details, three sunny outdoor spaces, a dramatic third-floor sunroom, and private parking. Built in 1849 by John Greacen in a transitional style combining elements of Greek Revival and Italianate design, 247 Clinton Street retains its original cornice, portico, window lintels, entry door design, and many other architectural details.

Set at the corner of Verandah Place across from Cobble Hill Park, 247 Clinton Street looks into and over the park’s leafy canopy. Currently configured as a triplex over a garden apartment, the house retains the gracious proportions, architectural character, and spirit of its original single-family design. The house flows beautifully with an elegant procession of sunlit spaces that feel at once gracious, warm and intimate. This is a place that makes you want to explore and linger.

A tall stoop leads up to an elegant vestibule and the parlor floor, where the ceilings soar over 11-feet high. Tall windows with their original shutters showcase the park and draw natural light deep into the house throughout the day. The front parlor features a woodburning stove while the dining room beyond has a woodburning fireplace with a carved mantel.

At the rear of the parlor floor, pocket doors open to a beautiful sunroom, windowed kitchen, pantry, and sunny terrace overlooking the garden. Sheltered from the bustle of the city, the backyard is a remarkably tranquil and private retreat, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying everyday life.

On the third floor, the primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet and a remarkable one-of-a-kind en-suite bathroom that must be seen to be believed. With nine windows facing north, west, and south, a wood-burning stove, and a door that opens onto a large sunny terrace, this room feels like it belongs in a stylishly renovated Hudson Valley farmhouse.

The fourth floor features two large, sunny bedrooms with vistas over the park, rooftops, and buildings beyond to the west and east, including the spire of St. Paul’s Church, built in 1838. This floor also includes a full bathroom, laundry room, and a windowed office or small bedroom with spectacular park views. Above the hallway, a round oculus skylight brings natural light down the staircase throughout the day.

The garden level is configured as a one-bedroom apartment and includes a historic fireplace mantel, large kitchen, and two doors that open directly to the backyard. This level can be accessed from the house’s main staircase as well as through a separate entrance beneath the stoop. In the cellar are a washer and dryer and the house’s well-maintained mechanical systems, including electrical service that was recently upgraded.

The exterior of the north wall, facing Verandah Place, retains evidence of a historic window opening with brick infill, including a segmental-arched brick lintel and brick sill. Subject to Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, this may offer an opportunity to restore a window to the third-floor front bedroom, with views of Cobble Hill Park and up Clinton Street.

To top it all off, the house comes with a private parking space tucked away on the enchanting mews-like Verandah Place, a vanishingly rare amenity in Cobble Hill.

247 Clinton Street’s coveted location in the heart of Cobble Hill makes it an idyllic place to live. In addition to Cobble Hill Park directly across the street, Brooklyn Bridge Park and its beautiful waterfront are nearby. An exceptional array of beloved restaurants, boutiques, and neighborhood amenities can be found within a few blocks, while the 2/3, 4/5, F, G, R, and A/C subway lines and the ferry are also close by for easy access to Manhattan and the rest of the city. Come see this extraordinary townhouse and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn!
