284 Clermont Ave, GARDEN

A contemporary take on a classic Brooklyn apartment. The garden level duplex at 284 Clermont Avenue features every modern amenity tastefully incorporated into a turn of the century brick townhouse, located in the heart of Fort Greene. Entering through your private entrance, the first floor features a wide, open-plan living area with Brazilian Ebony Teak hardwood floors, 2 large windows and custom-built bookshelves surrounding a decorative marble fireplace. The living area is perfectly proportioned as a generous sitting area surrounding the fireplace, and a separate dining area with space to host dinner parties as well as casual weeknight meals. Towards the rear of the garden level is a large chef's kitchen equipped with luxury appliances including a Viking six-burner gas stove with commercial-grade hood, Viking 36" built-in fridge, Asko built-in dishwasher, and a pot filler faucet in addition to the kitchen sink. There is ample space for multiple people to prepare meals at the same time. The clean white cabinets, black granite countertops, and Carrera stone tiled backsplash create a timeless look. Adjacent to the kitchen is an elegant powder room. The private backyard is a serene oasis, accessed directly from your kitchen. Mature bamboo plants growing along the back wall provide light shade accented by a Japanese maple and other perennials planted in the raised beds for four-season color. The backyard is perfect for summer BBQ’s, dining al fresco or simply laying in the sun. This is a truly rare amenity - one of the many in this apartment. The finished basement level of the apartment is perfect for a sleeping alcove or work studio where there is a large, walk-in closet, outfitted with a custom-built shelving system, and a subway tiled bathroom with a large walk-in shower. It's rare to find a garden apartment layout with a flexible alcove and full bath located on a separate floor, creating a duplex experience.
