    What's special

    278 Clifton Place is a four story brownstone nestled in the middle of a quiet tree-lined block on the cusp of Clinton Hill and Bedford Stuyvesant. Graced with grand proportions and tons of original details, you can’t help but feel inspired on the parlor floor amongst 10 ft. ceilings, century old floral plasterwork and moldings, pocket doors, decorative fireplaces and carved mantles. Split system AC throughout. Open from front to back, large windows let in tons of light and sweet breezes. The south facing backyard is a gardener’s paradise loaded with blooming perennials; it awaits your personal touch. Lounge on the deck on a cool evening after work, host a summer barbecue, and wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. Legally a four family, currently set up as an elegant 2BR/2BA owners duplex on the garden & parlor floors plus two high income 1-2BR rentals above, you have the flexibility to make it a grand single family home, smart double duplex, triplex over garden rental or four floor-through income generating units. A bonus is the two-story extension which adds valuable square footage to the owner’s duplex and contributes a sweet little terrace to the 3rd floor rental. The top floor is flooded with light from multiple skylights throughout and affords views of the tree-tops and beautiful brownstones facades nearby. Come claim your own piece of Brooklyn, moments from vibrant and sought after bars and restaurants, perfectly situated between Bedford Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, & Crown Heights. Glorious Herbert Van King Park a block and a half away. Fort Greene & Prospect Heights are also close by. It’s all waiting for you, delicious food, artisanal coffee & bread, and hip boutiques. The G train is on the block and the Nostrand A/C a few blocks away- Manhattan (if you need it) is 25 minutes away, Williamsburg, 10 minutes.
