Property Description for 278 Clifton Place

278 Clifton Place is a four family brownstone nestled in the middle of a quiet tree-lined block on the cusp of Clinton Hill and Bedford Stuyvesant. Graced with grand proportions and tons of original details, you can't help but feel inspired on the parlor floor amongst 10 ft. ceilings, century old floral plasterwork and moldings, pocket doors, decorative fireplaces and carved mantles. Open from front to back, large windows let in tons of light and sweet breezes. The south facing backyard is a gardener's paradise loaded with blooming perennials; it awaits your personal touch. Lounge on the deck on a cool evening after work, host a summer barbecue, and wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. Currently set up as a three family with a stylish 2BR/2BA owners duplex on the garden & parlor floors plus two high income 1-2BR rentals above, you have the flexibility to make it a grand single family home, smart double duplex, triplex over garden rental or four floor-through income generating units. A bonus is the two-story extension which adds valuable square footage to the owner's duplex and contributes a sweet little terrace to the 3rd floor rental. The top floor is flooded with light from multiple skylights throughout and affords views of the tree-tops and beautiful brownstones facades nearby. The configurations are endless - you decide what's best for you. Potential income from the current configuration is approximately $2700/mo per floor (approx 130k per year!) plus unbelievably low annual RE taxes $3,529.76. Come claim your own piece of Brooklyn, just steps from vibrant and sought after bars and restaurants, perfectly situated between Bedford Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, & Crown Heights. Fort Greene & Prospect Heights are also closeby. It's all waiting for you, delicious food, artisanal coffee & bread, and hip boutiques. The G train is on the block and the Nostrand A/C a few blocks away- Manhattan (if you need it) is 25 minutes away, Williamsburg, 10 minutes.

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.
