295 Clermont Ave

Could this be your dream home in Historic Fort Greene? Located on bucolic Clermont Avenue between Lafayette and DeKalb Avenues, this house has the bones to make it a true stunner, there is work required. Original details abound, however, including: four marble fireplaces, one fireplace with a wood mantel and many of them have already been relined, in-laid wood floors in several of the rooms upstairs, 11'8 foot ceilings on the parlor floor, original pocket doors as well as front doors and others throughout the house, shutters and two relatively new front floor to ceiling windows also on the parlor floor. The house is quite large, it is 23x45 for approximately 3,864 square feet and there is unused FAR for an additional 1,125 square feet. In addition, and perhaps best of all, the house sits on a 25x100 foot lot and it is not attached on one side, thereby, there is a gate which goes directly to the back garden! This feature is terribly convenient and honestly, very rare. There is finally, a little greenhouse/conservatory right off of the rear of the house which is obviously unique, but it can either stay or go, depending on your desire. While there is work to be done, not limited to, but including: kitchens, baths, electric, roof and plumbing, there is tremendous potential and the home is super solid- the floors do not slant, and the stairs are sturdy. The location is superb with proximity to all that wonderful Fort Greene has to offer, from the majestic Frederick Law Olmsted & Calvert Vaux designed Fort Greene Park, the Farmer's Market each Saturday morning, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Theatre for a New Audience, shopping, restaurants including Roman's, Greenlight Bookstore, the list is unending. Transportation options abound, as well, from Citibikes to buses to subways. An "All Cash" buyer is preferred or a buyer who would like to "assign the contract/flip the contract" of the seller. This (soon to be) dream home is waiting for the right individual with vision who will make it shine in all of its past and future glory.
