181 Waverly Ave

Built in the 1870s in the Neo-Grec style, 181 Waverly Avenue sits in the middle of a quiet tree-lined block amidst the historic carriage houses and townhouses of Clinton Hill. This beautiful twenty-foot wide, four-story brick and brownstone townhouse is a legal three-family configured as a two-family. The building comprises a floor-through garden apartment and a four bedroom, two and a half bath triplex plus basement. The owners have taken great care to retain much of this grand home's original details, including four marble fireplace mantels, crown moldings, and the original staircase. Coming home, youll walk up a tall brownstone stoop, through richly carved solid oak doors, and into a sunny open-plan parlor floor with ceilings over ten feet high. Tall oversized windows in the living room bring sunlight deep into the house. The kitchen is well appointed with a large window and a door that steps out to the backyard. Upstairs the master bedroom suite features a large windowed bathroom, two marble fireplace mantles and a massive walk-in closet. On the garden floor youll find a high-income apartment with a nicely renovated open-plan kitchen and access to the backyard.The backyard runs over 61 feet deep and is beautifully designed with plantings and an elevated level at the back. This sunny and tranquil oasis away from the bustle of Brooklyn is a wonderful place to relax, entertain, and spread out. 181 Waverly Avenue is close to transportation, the Pratt campus, and Ft. Greene Park. The best of Clinton Hills shopping, restaurants, and other amenities are also close by. Come see this historic gem and make it your own! Delivered vacant. Shown by appointment only.
