426 Clermont Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

CONTRACT SIGNED Gorgeous Townhouse Living With over 4,200 square feet of living space spanning six levels, 426 Clermont Avenue offers a great deal to a variety of purchasers. This Antebellum, brick row house was built in circa 1855, and retains much of its original moldings and period details throughout. Facing the home's exterior, one will notice the impeccable renovation to its red brick faade and stoop. The house sits in the middle of a pretty brownstone block in the heart of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. This property is divided into an owner's duplex (plus a partially finished basement), which sits beneath two rental apartments. All three units have private outdoor space, and each have their own hot water and heating systems, with temperature control (gas heat). The building is zoned as a legal 4 family home. The 3 Bedroom/2 Bath owner's duplex has been beautifully renovated and maintained. On the parlor level there is a stunning formal living room, accented with exposed brick, original moldings and plasterwork. The rear parlor has been converted into a spacious master bedroom, which overlooks the home's backyard. In between these two main rooms sits a spacious master bathroom, with a Jacuzzi tub and separate glass shower. The ceilings reach 13 feet high on this main level, and the beautifully finished hardwood floors run the length of the home. Conveniently, there is an interior staircase which leads to the lower level of the duplex. Downstairs there is a large, open stainless steel chef's kitchen, adjacent to a living/dining room area. Sliding glass doors open to a lush and deep urban garden. There is a front bedroom and a full bathroom on this level as well. The interior staircase extends down one more level to the basement, which features a finished bedroom, along with a utility room equipped with a washer and dryer. The upper floors consist of two, floor-through rental units. The 3rd floor apartment is in great condition, and could easily be converted into a master bedroom suite. The back bedroom leads out onto a big, private deck, a truly fabulous outdoor space. The 4th floor apartment is also highly desirable and contains a bonus area: an upstairs loft that could be used as another bedroom or an office/studio. In total, this home has 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 3 private outdoor spaces. Located in the center of vibrant Fort Greene, 426 Clermont is just a short distance to BAM, Fort Greene Park, and A Theater for a New Audience, The Brooklyn Flea, The Barclays Center, and other neighborhood centerpieces. Public transportation is also plentiful here - 11 subway lines and the LIRR are easily accessible. This property is turn-key and offers lots of possibilities for the future homeowner.
