Historic Brooklyn Brownstone Awaits Your Vision!
Calling all dreamers, designers, and renovators! 14 Clifton Place is your rare chance to transform a classic 1878 Neo-Grec brownstone into a masterpiece on one of Clinton Hill’s most coveted blocks! Located near St. James, this stunning four-story townhouse is brimming with original charm and endless potential.
️ A Diamond in the Rough: This 5-bedroom, 2,900 sq. ft. beauty hasn’t been lived in for 25 years, making it the perfect canvas for your imagination. With no water or heat currently, but electricity in place, the property needs a full renovation—ideal for those ready to create their dream home! Some original features include the grand entryway doors, elegant staircase, iron bannisters, inlaid floors, pier mirror, crown moldings, sliding pocket doors, and window shutters—a preservationist’s dream!
Spacious & Flexible Layout: Measuring 17.5 x 42 feet on a 100-foot lot, this house offers multiple design options! Officially a two-family home, it can be configured as a triplex with a garden rental, a single-family residence, or even a double duplex. The upper triplex spans six rooms plus the parlor floor, while the basement has already been partially dug out to increase ceiling height for added comfort.
Charming Outdoor Space: The south-facing garden retains its original slate walkways, offering a peaceful retreat right at home. There’s also potential to add a two-story rear extension or raise the top-floor roof for a walkable space, pending approvals from DOB and landmarks.
️ Prime Brooklyn Location: Situated on a serene, tree-lined block, you’re just steps from some of Brooklyn’s best dining, cafes, and cultural attractions. Plus, with excellent transportation nearby, all of New York City is at your fingertips.
