25 Clermont Ave

25 Clermont Avenue is an exceptional single-family townhome in Brooklyn’s LEED-certified Navy Green development, a community-minded collection of townhouses and condominiums organized around a lush common green with playspaces and plantings galore. A testament to the rare joy of this community, 25 Clermont Avenue is the first townhouse resale in the complex since its initial offering in 2016! Across the four floors and nearly 3,000 feet of this inspired home, top-of-the-line finishes harmonize with the simplicity of sustainable design, including custom sliding doors by Solar Innovators, whisper-quiet central heat and air by Mitsubishi, recessed lights, and 7” wide natural wood flooring by Duchateau. Oversized YKK windows flood each room with sun; custom shades make for peaceful sleep. A private terrace and fully built patio and deck extend the sense of oasis. Entering through the striking red cedar doorway onto the main floor, you experience the scope of the home, curated and crafted by the designer-artist current owners: a bright dining area, hung with the owners’ own art (sorry, not included in the sale), opens into a gleaming kitchen with Caesarstone countertops and the full suite of top-of-the line appliances — Bertazzoni six-burner stove and electric self-clean oven, Liebherr fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and KitchenAid microwave. The glass wall of the dramatic emerald living room gives onto a patio and deck of the owners’ design. Truly an urban oasis, the private garden, and the common green beyond, is full of that rustling quiet that’s better than silence — a perfect space for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and quiet afternoons reading, playing, working, or resting in the natural beauty. Downstairs, an 800 square foot finished media-room offers more multi-purpose space, with a half-bath and multiple walk-in closets. Upstairs, the second floor has two king-size bedrooms; a laundry room with built-in sink and side-by-side LG washer and dryer; and a full bathroom. The third floor is the master suite, with a king-size bedroom and master bath: side-by-side Corian sinks, a deep soaking tub, separate shower with Grohe fixtures, and transom windows for gentle filtered light make the space spa-like. Three closets, including a nearly fifty square foot walk-in, provide ample storage. Deep blue hues invite deep rest — after, perhaps, a glass of wine or a sunset talk on the generous private terrace. Beautifully maintained and creatively inspired, 25 Clermont Avenue captures the spirit of its surroundings. A vibrant mix of residential and industrial architecture, historic roots and modern innovation, gives the juncture of Fort Greene and the Navy Yard its unique character. You can meander the few blocks to verdant Fort Greene Park and experience summer concerts and a year-round Farmer's Market, stopping along the way for a drink or a meal at one of the many restaurants that line Myrtle Avenue; or you can head towards the water, picking up a bagel from Russ & Daughters or a coffee from the Brooklyn Roastery, doing your grocery shopping at Wegman's, and experiencing the renaissance of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Once the nation's most storied shipbuilding facility, the Navy Yard is now a growing hub for innovators in industries as diverse as tech, film and urban agriculture, and is ushering in a new era of possibilities for the neighborhood's growth. It hasn't lost its seafaring appeal, though: the Ferry landing at the end of your block makes for an easeful and efficient open-air commute. Private showings of this jewel of a home have begun, in accordance with all safety protocols of NYC’s phased reopening. Reach out to schedule your private appointment!
