14 Clifton Place, Brooklyn (Clinton Hill), NY, 11238 | $1,950,000

Bring your architect and general contractor and take a look at this beautiful, classic townhouse in prime Clinton Hill! 14 Clifton Place is a four-story, 1878 Neo-Grec brownstone located on one of the best and quietest blocks in Brooklyn, near St. James. This property is a true diamond in the rough, boasting numerous original details, including the original entryway doors, staircase, exterior iron bannisters, inlaid floors, pier mirror, crown moldings, sliding pocket doors, and window shutters. The house hasn’t been lived in for 25 years and requires a total renovation. It currently has electricity but no water or heat. The property has been partially cleaned out, with the old kitchens and bathrooms removed. All the floors are intact, and the house appears to be structurally sound—your architect will confirm this. The house can be designed to your liking. It is officially a two-family home and could be configured as a triplex with a garden rental, or it can be used as a single-family or double duplex. The upstairs triplex features six rooms on the upper levels, plus the parlor floor. The basement has been partially dug out to increase ceiling height. The house measures 17. 5 x 42 feet on a 100-foot lot. The garden retains the original slate walkways and faces south. A great potential floor plan could include adding a two-story extension in the rear and raising the top floor roof to make it fully walkable, as opposed to the current attic/pitched roof. Both options would, of course, require DOB and landmarks approvals.
