Property Description for 388 Washington Ave, 1
Real estate descriptions are always full of finishes and colorful language but rarely about pure space and proportions. 388 Washington doesn't need colorful language or the verbal embellishments. The space, proportions, details and overall design speak for themselves.The residence comprises 2936 internal sqft spread over two floors, with three large bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Of Neo-Grecian style, designed by Amzi Hill in 1879 this majestic beauty sits on Washington Avenue in the Clinton Hill Historic District, and it's truly a townhouse onto itself.
The entry into the residence on the grand parlor floor is nothing short of breathtaking. Capturing dramatic 12'+ soaring ceilings and a multitude of huge oversized windows across three exposures that bathe the space in soft, east, north and western light. Its very difficult to get the mix of modern and the finest details of the past together correctly but here it is done effortlessly and in a way that is so livable and comfortable. Both for yourself and for entertaining in grand style without the pretense.
The rear of the immense Parlor floor is where you'll find a chef's dream kitchen which leads out to a private serene garden. The kitchen has Venetian marble countertops, a commercial-grade BlueStar gas range with a Viking hood, a Liebherr refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The Garden level is entirely your private space and has three graciously sized bedrooms with en-suite baths. Each suite has its own charms and small moments that draw you in. The luxurious baths in each suite feature Duravit, Toto, and Bola fixtures with custom cement and tiling.
Gorgeous reclaimed antique chestnut and oak flooring runs throughout the entire home and as for the mechanicals, they are entirely new and are above and beyond expectations in every way. Including a highly efficient Viessman multi-zoned hydronic heating system, a multi-zoned HVAC system and a complete Tensui Water filtration system for the entire property (think bathing in and drinking Evian from your taps).
The location of 388 Washington is ideal, proximate to transportation, Fort Greene Park, the Myrtle, Dekalb and Fulton Avenue corridors, the Navy Yard and so much more. Clinton Hill is a food and drink lover's mecca and the incredible options are too much to list, but steps away, making it the perfect oasis in the heart of the city. This incredible home must be seen and experienced in person as no matter how I present this to you, it wont be nearly as good as the reality - please contact us directly for a viewing as all showings are by private appointments.
