Property Description for 168 Saint James Place
Located on one of the prettiest tree-lined blocks of historic Clinton hill is this exceptional single family, four-story brownstone. Fully renovated within the past four years with a clever blend of historic details and modern conveniences, 168 Saint James Place is a Brooklyn townhouse dream come true.
Spanning six levels from finished basement to a roof deck with Manhattan and Brooklyn skyline views, 168 Saint James Place possesses an exceptionally smart layout. The house features extraordinarily high ceilings (including 11.5' on the parlor floor) and large windows which bring in sunlight all day long. The smart renovation showcases the original wood beams on the upper three floors and thoughtfully exposed brick walls. The original central staircase has been restored and features an original curved mahogany banister.
The heart of the home is the garden floor which houses a stunning double-flanked white chef's kitchen with large sliding glass doors that open to the deep private garden. The kitchen itself is exceptionally well-appointed with white marble countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances and cozy radiant floor heating throughout.
There are three large and well-proportioned bedrooms and a convenient home office, which can be converted into a fourth bedroom depending on your needs. The main bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a huge bath that is outfitted with beautiful white Carrera marble. It features an oversized Kohler shower with the Hydrorail and Rain shower fixtures (separate pressure valves for each), a standalone Kohler tub, a large marble double vanity, and a Kohler Numi intelligent design toilet.
Not to be missed are three exceptional private outdoor spaces, including a walk-out landscaped garden, a breezy parlor floor terrace and an accessible private roof deck. All mechanicals are new, and there is central heat and air conditioning throughout. The current owners use the finished basement as a wine cellar and laundry room (welcome to suburban-sized front-loading machines and storage galore!).
168 Saint James Place is conveniently situated to both the C and G subway stations at Clinton/Washington Ave and Atlantic terminal is less than 10 minutes away. Pratt University, Fort Greene Park, and several charming well-esteemed restaurants and cafes are within a few blocks.

Clinton Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Tucked behind the Brooklyn Navy Yard in central Brooklyn is the quiet residential neighborhood of Clinton Hill. Once a strictly working-class neighborhood, Clinton Hill has become known for its elegant brownstones and stately mansions that were built as Manhattanites crossed the East River in the 1920s in search of the supposed health benefits that came from living “on the hill,” which has an elevation of 95 feet. Now you will also find newer luxury apartment and condo buildings interspersed throughout the neighborhood.
The Pratt Institute and St. Joseph College give the area a certain energy that comes from having a college in your town, while it’s leafy streets, some with their original cobblestones, and slower pace attract young families. Millennials and professionals are flocking to Clinton Hill in search of a reasonably priced neighborhood that offers both nightlife and an easy commute to Manhattan. Clinton Hill is a beautiful neighborhood with a suburban feel and firm roots in its past that also offers plenty of urban amenities.
New businesses are showing up in Clinton Hill on a regular basis, adding to the current proliferation of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. As the population changes, new entertainment and nightlife venues are migrating to the area to meet the demand. Barclays Center is within easy walking distance, offering exciting sporting events and concerts.
