226 Saint James Place, 4-L

This spacious, sun-drenched four-bedroom offers a flexible layout that can grow with you—whether you want to expand your family, work from home, host out-of-town guests, or create the walk-in closet or hobby room of your dreams. Located in a historic 8-unit building, it combines stunning original details with modern amenities and two distinctive outdoor spaces.

After a morning of productivity in your private office, take a break on the expansive rooftop under the shade of the solar array, which cuts your electric bill in half while adding valuable tax credits to the unit. Watching the kids? The shared backyard was recently repaved with rubber playground tiles and boasts a gas grill, smoker, and patio furniture so you can relax or entertain while they play.

The galley kitchen has ample cabinet space and high-end Samsung Chef’s Collection appliances, including a 4-Door Flex refrigerator with an extra compartment that can be used as a freezer, refrigerator, or wine fridge, plus a built-in SodaStream for ice-cold seltzer on demand. Other perks include a stainless steel dishwasher, gas convection oven with cast-iron range, reverse-osmosis water filtration system, and Delta hands-free faucet. The adjacent formal dining room evokes old-world charm with original moldings and picture rails—the perfect place to linger with dinner guests over a glass of wine.

The bedrooms are designed for rest and relaxation, with custom blackout shades and the kind of sound insulation you only find in pre-war buildings. Three of the four bedrooms face a quiet rear courtyard, and the largest has a floor-to-ceiling custom closet with soft-touch drawers and ample storage for clothing, linens, and luggage. Last but not least, the massive living room has gorgeously restored hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and beautiful all-day sunlight from three south-facing windows.

The building is quiet and well-maintained with private storage rooms in the basement, a shared stroller/scooter rack in the lobby, brand-new roof (October 2019) with twenty-year guarantee, complimentary laundry facilities in the basement, recent plumbing upgrades that can accommodate a washer or second half-bath in your unit, and a 20-year tax abatement.

Outside your front door is the vibrant community of Clinton Hill: home to multiple colleges, coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, bars, parks, playgrounds, and excellent public and private schools. You’re one block to the C train, half a block from a small family pharmacy and supersized grocery store, around the corner from The Good Batch bakery and ice cream shop, and walking distance to both Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park. If you’re looking for that elusive combination of character, community, and space, consider 226 St James Place your new home!
