330 Clermont Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205

Located in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, 330 Clermont Avenue is an amazing piece of the city's history. A rare survivor from the 1860s, this 4-level, 4-bedroom/2 bath/2 half-bath French Second Empire semi-detached boasts a soaring, slate-roofed mansard that makes it a standout in its row of handsome townhouses. Located in the Fort Greene Historic District, and boasting 2, 339 sq. ft interior and 944 sq. ft. of leafy outdoor space, this stately grande dame is ready for a new chapter in its over 150 years of history. Rising from a street-facing patio, an early 20th century Craftsman-style porch and vestibule opens into a traditional hall with a period staircase. Directly to the right and accessible through two entrances, a spacious double parlor contains period moldings and a unique fireplace under 9'10 ceilings. A sun-drenched dining room extends towards the rear kitchen, which in turn overlooks a charming alcove-like 23' x 20' garden with a mature apple tree and other plantings. A small internal half-courtyard - once part of a passageway for horses - could be used as a BBQ area or sun deck. Upstairs, the second floor holds two generously-proportioned bedrooms, both with lovely views of tree-lined Clermont Avenue and the neighboring back gardens, respectively. A full bath preserves a striking mid-century bathtub in blue enamel. The third floor repeats the pattern of two bedrooms and a full bath, with the avenue-facing bedroom appointed with a wall of customized shelving. A full basement level with laundry and storage area and generous closets are matched with the parquet floors, fresh finishes and original architectural elements that abound throughout. Subject of an extensive and award-nominated restoration in 2005 that brought back its mansard, cornices and scored-stucco fa ade, 330 Clermont is a gem among the architectural riches of Fort Greene. Centered around beautiful Fort Greene Park, the district is a trove of shopping, cafes and restaurants, all blocks from the B.A.M theater district, Barclays Center and the Pratt Institute. C, G, D, N and R trains are adjacent. A fantastic opportunity to continue the story of a unique New York City landmark.
