357 Washington Ave

357 Washington is a very special, wood-framed Italianate built in 1860-possibly by architect Ebenezer L. Roberts-in landmarked Clinton Hill Historic District. Nestled on tree-lined and historically relevant Washington Avenue, this single-family townhome retains many of its original details, but has been updated from the inside out with modern comforts.

The covered porch is a gracious entrance into a sunlit parlor floor with 11' ceilings, restored moldings and plasterwork, and two marble mantels replete with a generous powder room discreetly located. The back parlor room leads to a spacious deck that overlooks the secret garden of hydrangeas, roses, lilacs, and magnolia tree.

With front and rear entrances on the garden level, the country kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with two farm sinks, a Viking appliance package, soapstone countertops, and a breakfast nook that looks out into the rear garden. The large fireplace has been reimagined for ample storage and the exposed beams complete the cozy charm. The front garden floor room is a spacious and bright dining room with its own original marble mantel.

The primary suite is on the second floor with double walk-in closets and a fully renovated bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. There is a second bedroom on the floor that can double as a large office or den. Three bedrooms and bathroom comprise the top floor as well as a fully vented washer and dryer.

The home systems include an expanded water heater, updated sump pump, restored radiators, and updated HVAC controlled by Nest and Sensi thermostat systems. The fa ade siding has been recently updated and the roof and masonry were recently repaired.

357 Washington is approximate to Fort Greene Park, the Myrtle and Fulton Avenue corridors, Dekalb Avenues Restaurant Row, and the Navy Yard. The townhouse is surrounded by bike paths, multiple forms of transportation and a plethora of all the amenities Clinton Hill and Fort Greene have to offer.
