Gorgeous 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath duplex apartment with deck and garden in 1870 brownstone with all the historical details. Our friends make us blush by telling us it's the most beautiful home around. We feel very grateful to live here!
Located in the vibrant Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhood of Clinton Hill. Surrounded by playgrounds, green space, great restaurants, cafes, farmers markets, wine shops, bookstores, and supermarkets.
5-minute walk to G and C lines. 20 minutes to downtown Manhattan. Fort Greene and Prospect Parks, Pratt University, Brooklyn Museum, Barclay Center, BAM Arts Complex, and Botanical Gardens all located within 20 minute walk.
The parlor level is flooded with light from floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors. And boasts all the beautiful brownstone details: 14-foot high ceilings, wedding cake moldings, exotic marble fireplaces, and a massive gold leaf mirror.
The lounge area has a comfy couch, tons of art books, and a large Roku TV for streaming. The dining table seats ten. It's a great place for dinner parties! The kitchen has high-end appliances, all the gadgets for cooking, and a planter full of herbs right outside on the deck.
The garden-level features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms (both equipped with Japanese bidets--you'll never want to go back). The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet, desk space, and streaming TV. The large children's room has a twin trundle bed, desk, and garden view. The smaller third bedroom has a twin bed, desk, and great vibe. The second bathroom has a soaking tub.
Finally, there is a large rear private garden with lounge and dining areas and a gas grill.
The apartment is fully equipped with air conditioning, Bosch washer/dryer, and wireless internet.
It's a truly beautiful apartment--not at all like your typical sublet! Since this is our home, we are looking for responsible people who will treat it and enjoy it as their own home. Security deposit required. Electricity not included. We ask that you use our housekeeper for weekly or biweekly cleanings.
I'm an author and journalist, and my husband is a professor. Every summer, we move in with my mother in Massachusetts and rent out our home. We have been very fortunate in always having terrific tenants who enjoy it immensely and care for it as if it were their own. It's a special place!
Owner
We sign a sublease agreement and ask for one half-month security deposit. References requested. We ask tenants to use our housecleaner for weekly or biweekly cleaning. We supply garden clean-up 1-2 times over the summer.
We will consider small dogs. However, our back garden is full of flower beds and will be ruined by dogs using it as their toilet.
