408 Franklin Ave, 2

One of two luminous apartments set within a charming corner townhouse in Clinton Hill, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom duplex is a paradigm of contemporary Brooklyn living. Features of the home include gorgeous oak flooring, eastern, western, and northern exposure, huge windows, central heating and cooling, an in-unit washer/dryer, and access to a sprawling, 800 sq. ft. rooftop deck that possesses commanding views of the surrounding neighborhood.

From a windowed landing, the home flows into an expansive floor-through living room, dining room, and kitchen. Northern and eastern light cascades into the living and dining space, while western light saturates a spacious eat-in kitchen equipped with marble tiled floors, chic cabinetry, sleek granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances. Completing the first level is a windowed powder room.

All three bedrooms sit on the second level of the duplex, which is accessed via an elegant staircase with intricate spindles and a regal banister. The master bedroom boasts two walls of windows, a large reach-in closet, and a full en-suite bathroom with marble walls and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The remaining two bedrooms each have private closet space and easy access to a pristine full bathroom.
