Every once in a blue moon, a truly spectacular home comes on the market that defies all expectations and leaves you wanting for nothing. Unit 1 at 407 Clermont, a triplex condo in a converted Italianate townhouse in prime Fort Greene, falls squarely into this category. Offering a fully landscaped multi-tiered garden & deck, amazing light on all three floors, well-preserved historic details & clean modern finishes, central AC, 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and low taxes & common charges. Enter up the stoop of this classic & wide Federal-Style brick townhouse into a parlor floor of the grandest proportions with an extra deep extension on the back allowing for an oversized kitchen, formal dining room, large living room and discrete powder room all on one floor. The combination of the garden-facing wall replaced with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, 14' ceilings, & oversized windows in the front, this floor is flooded in light all day and allows for entertaining on an impressive scale. Stunning plaster ceiling moldings, exposed brick, wide-plank character grade oak flooring & oversized mahogany doors have all been restored, and in many cases repurposed to create a home with an industrial modern feel reminiscent of a turn of the century loft space. The chef's kitchen on this floor features a sleek wall of custom wood, metal & lacquer cabinetry that reaches to the ceiling, offering both pot storage and pantry space, including drawers, pull-outs & adjustable shelving. A honed concrete-style Quartz countertop and an innovative stove surround made up of reclaimed bowling alley floors offers the perfect surface for preparing meals in your restaurant quality & fully vented 6-burner range. Don't miss the paneled top-of-the line Fischer & Paykel French-door fridge & oversized undermount sink & garbage disposal. Special edition Tom Dixon glass light fixtures illuminate the island and also lend drama to the steel staircase that takes you down to the bedrooms. Perfectly curated with a designer's eye for details, you will never want to leave this floor where you will also enjoy built-in floating bookshelves and a living room that flows perfectly to an Ipe deck with built-in grill & storage, and a modern steel & wood staircase that leads into the oversized garden with perennial plantings & an irrigation system for maximum ease. Head down the staircase to an extra deep floor that features a landing with a laundry room & full bath in the middle, two large garden-facing bedrooms in the back, and a magnificent oversized master suite in the front. Enjoy an ensuite bath with walk-in shower & double closet in the first of the garden-facing bedrooms, and an additional bedroom, large enough for sleeping and a desk area. The front-facing master suite is oversized & includes a sophisticated designer bathroom and a second washer & dryer. The scale of the bedrooms needs to be seen to be believed. Bathrooms are the perfect rustic modern combination of concrete & glass tiles, Duravit fixtures, reclaimed wood countertops, custom vanities, exposed brick & atmospheric lighting. Head down one more flight to the finished "cellar" which is nothing you have ever seen before. Exposed arches with white-washed brick & the patina of time are illuminated by a full wall of sliding glass doors that allow you to walk-out to the triple-tiered garden beyond. Currently used as a fantastic gym and home office with a wall of built-in desks on one side and a large open space for working out in the other. The front of this floor even includes a woodworking shop in its own separate enclosed area. The entire home has been networked with high speed internet and cable and ADT security.
