Property Description for 245 Greene Ave
Completely renovated and restored, this Romanesque Revival townhouse has been brought BEYOND its former grandeur! Presently configured as a two-family home, the option to reconfigure to a SINGLE-FAMILY is available. (Please see the alternate floor plans.)
The upper triplex features four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a wonderfully designed open parlor floor complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a half bath and a wall of windows overlooking the large landscaped garden below. The house has rich wide-plank Canadian Oak floors, restored wood-panel wainscoting, and exposed brick throughout. The south-facing parlor floor and second floor windows feature stained-glass transoms that create stunning light throughout the day.
The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen has a large center island and offers amazing amounts of work and storage space. Features include, a stainless steel apron front sink, abundant custom Maple cabinetry, Calcutta Royale quartz counters, marble back-splash, and stainless steel appliances including a Gaggenau cook-top with a Broan hood, a Sub Zero fridge, a JennAir range and microwave, a Leibherr beverage system, and a Miele dishwasher.
All four bedrooms are truly spacious and have closets outfitted with California Closet systems. Each full bath has marble tile and vanities, radiant heated floors, and spectacular fixtures and finishes, including a full body-jet shower system and rain shower head. The stunning marble master bath includes an open claw foot tub under a spectacular skylight. A full size, vented LG washer/dryer can be found on the second floor.
Other highlights of the house include all new windows and mechanicals, a new roof, a working fireplace, beautiful light fixtures and lighted stairs, a Sonos sound system throughout, video intercom, built-in alarm system, central air, and the Nest temperature control system which can be programmed remotely. No detail was missed in this meticulous renovation.
The high-income lower duplex is separately metered for all utilities, including central air, and offers one full bedroom, two full baths, and a large finished lower level complete with exposed brick and a washer/dryer hook-up.
In the Clinton Hill Historic District, the location is wonderful, near great dining, shops, coffee shops, and transportation.

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. As the population changes, new entertainment and nightlife venues are migrating to the area to meet the demand. Barclays Center is within easy walking distance, offering exciting sporting events and concerts.
