Property Description for 197 Spencer Street, 9-B

The Light at the Top. 197 Spencer street is an intimate 18-unit condominium on a beautiful, tree-lined street in Clinton Hill. On the top floor is where youll find 9B, a chic, light-filled1-bedroom home with three outdoor spaces that never lets you forget it is the penthouse. From the moment you enter this extraordinary home directly from the keyed elevator, it is clear that this home is special. Light pours in highlighting its design elements and draws you to the windows where views are in abundance. The city views are everything whether youre serving it up in your open kitchen with maple cabinetry, granite counter tops, an eat-in-island, and Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, or relaxing in your spacious bedroom with oversized windows and generous closet space. The views are only magnified from your three personal outdoor spaces; your balcony, your terrace, your roof deck. And while its a legal 1-bedroom, the alcove can easily be converted into a half bedroom for guests or home office. This is luxury. 197 Spencer is in the culturally rich Brooklyn neighborhood of Clinton Hill. The allure of multiple shopping districts, acclaimed restaurant rows, and exceptional convenience have people from all over the world flocking to this eclectic area. Two train lines, almost a dozen bus lines, and the Long Island Rail Road service this neighborhood. Ten-to-twenty-minute commutes put you in Downtown Brooklyn [The Barclays Center, B.A.M., City Point] and Manhattan. Whats not to love? Find Your Sweet Spot.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
