    What's special

    Rarely available garage/warehouse and attached townhouse approximately 2700sf located in Clinton Hill! Calling all artists, restauranteurs, and music people. (Keith McNally please open an Odeon-esque Cafe out here!) Rarely available prime corner property with unheard of close to 100 FT of frontage, available in prime Clinton Hill at Putnam Avenue and Downing Street, which is just off the main thoroughfare of Fulton Street. The property consists of two buildings including a 19th Century town house and a large attached former garage. In its last lives it has been a body shop, (see drawing 3), and a parking garage/storage space. The present owner planned to create and build a large work/live space and connected the two buildings within with a large archway. It is fully loaded with everything you need to create a dream space: five curb cuts, a street side hoist, amazing ceiling heights and huge buildable potential where you can add another 6000SF, if you care to. The interior is presently unfinished with some electrical upgrades and a small bathroom. The existing owner has worked extensively on the property and completed many in depth preparations, improvements, and drawings so that the next owner can pick up and move forward expeditiously. An initial Alt 1 was filed and then later an Alt 2 with the DOB; Their plan included building a 5 story,10,000SF mixed use building with gallery space and offices on the lower floors, and residential on the upper floors,(See drawing 1). Other options include working with the original building and maintaining its low rise design and character is another great option, (See drawing 2). And for budding developers out there, a third option is keep one structure and sell the other, you decide! For those businesses that require foot traffic, and proximity to the transportation, this property has both going for it. The area immediately surrounding the property has become a Mecca for new developments both rentals and Condos. One of the area's newest luxury rentals is immediately next door, The Guild at 26 Putnam Ave. Then, across the street is 1035 Futon Street, another luxury rental development and last but not least, diagonally down the block, is a new condo building, (which hasn't begun construction) at 450 Grand Ave. Building Info: Lot size: 55 x 37 Building size: Townhouse 17.5 x 37 (Two floors) Garage: 36.75 x 37 Basement: 17.5 x 37 (townhouse only) Allowable SF: 9496SF Interior SF: 2670SF (excluding basement) Ceiling height: 13FT Taxes annually: $12,147 Far: 4 Zoning: R7A/C2-4 Landmark: No Block/Lot: 01991-0019 Building Class: Auto Body/Collision or Auto Repair (G2) Certificate of Occupancy: None, missing at DOB Violations: None Curb cuts: 5
