Property Description for 119 Vanderbilt Ave

Introducing 119 Vanderbilt... A one-of-a-kind townhouse masterpiece in the heart of Clinton Hill. Expertly crafted and designed with a fusion of elegance, high artistic style, and modern comforts.

This glamorous home offers a contemporary take on a traditional townhouse, combining high quality original details with modern day luxuries spread throughout the four floors of living space, cellar, and landscaped private garden. Although 119 Vanderbilt is a legal two-family, this 20' wide brownstone is currently configured as a single family residence with an open and flexible layout to re-configure back to two duplex units if so desired.

This home has been painstakingly built by artisans and garnished with preserved historic details including 4 original wood burning, marble mantled fireplaces, wainscoting, tin ceilings, detailed molding, exposed brick, authentic push-button light switches, wood beamed ceilings, and hand-nailed wide plank floors throughout.

Upon entry through an intimate entry vestibule, one is captivated by a foyer which opens to the bright and spacious parlor level with hardwood floor embellished with an original design overlay. The parlor level features a grand living room, dining room, and open gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is illuminated by two oversized industrial style, steel, light fixtures and features brass hardware, a 6 burner Viking stove, dishwasher and vintage butcher block with copper siding for the entertainer or home chef.

Ascend one flight up via the dramatic curved staircase to the master suite featuring walk-in closet, renovated tiled bathroom outfitted with double rain shower-heads and en-suite claw-foot soaking tub. The fourth floor is a sun-drench open loft-style layout featuring two sky-lights, high ceilings, and built in shelves offering generous storage. Currently configured as a large bedroom, this space also includes water and gas lines to add kitchen appliances if a 2-family plan is wanted.

The private landscaped and luscious garden serves as a sanctuary featuring an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, a hand-layed stone wall, and a crafted stone waterfall all accessible by both the parlor and garden levels of the home. The garden level features french doors, exposed beamed ceilings and entry to the cellar offering bonus space or additional storage. This home is outfitted with Nest thermostats so one can comfortably control the heating and cooling remotely from their smartphone.

Live like a Vanderbilt at 119 Vanderbilt...conveniently located on a tree-lined picturesque brownstone block, just steps away from the bustling restaurants, boutiques, and public transportation of Myrtle Avenue.

Showings available by request. Offered exclusively by the Serhant Team.

Clinton Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Tucked behind the Brooklyn Navy Yard in central Brooklyn is the quiet residential neighborhood of Clinton Hill. Once a strictly working-class neighborhood, Clinton Hill has become known for its elegant brownstones and stately mansions that were built as Manhattanites crossed the East River in the 1920s in search of the supposed health benefits that came from living “on the hill,” which has an elevation of 95 feet. Now you will also find newer luxury apartment and condo buildings interspersed throughout the neighborhood.

The Pratt Institute and St. Joseph College give the area a certain energy that comes from having a college in your town, while it’s leafy streets, some with their original cobblestones, and slower pace attract young families. Millennials and professionals are flocking to Clinton Hill in search of a reasonably priced neighborhood that offers both nightlife and an easy commute to Manhattan. Clinton Hill is a beautiful neighborhood with a suburban feel and firm roots in its past that also offers plenty of urban amenities.

New businesses are showing up in Clinton Hill on a regular basis, adding to the current proliferation of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.
