Property Description for 157 Waverly Ave, 1-B
Welcome to 157 Waverly Avenue #1B-a beautifully renovated, loft-style duplex in the vibrant heart of Clinton Hill. This two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home spans 1,000 square feet and exudes architectural charm and character throughout.
Step inside to find soaring 12-foot ceilings accentuated by a striking exposed wooden beam, a decorative fireplace framed by built-in shelving and cabinetry, exposed brick and rich hardwood floors. The spacious living area blends form and function seamlessly, with built-in benches along the wall that offer additional seating and hidden storage.
Adjacent to the spacious dining area, illuminated by a chic mid-century sputnik chandelier, is the renovated kitchen. With walnut lower cabinetry, crisp white upper cabinets, Silestone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen offers abundant work and storage space, creating an ideal space for both cooking and entertaining.
The bedroom, situated off the dining area, boasts more exposed brick, a large window, and a generous walk-in closet with a custom organization system. The stylishly renovated bathroom includes modern finishes and fixtures, elevating the home's sophisticated aesthetic
Downstairs, you'll discover a versatile lower level perfect for a den, TV room, or home office. The primary bedroom is well-proportioned and includes an exposed brick wall and additional built-ins for ample storage. A conveniently located powder room adds extra comfort, and while the unit allows for in-home laundry, the building's common laundry room is easily accessible from the lower level.
Set within the historic, tree-lined neighborhood of Clinton Hill, 157 Waverly has a unique past and architectural significance. The building's rare cast-iron fa ade once adorned the Golden Key Hotel and Lenruth Hall in the 1940s. Now a 14-unit boutique coop, it was converted in 1989 and recently underwent a comprehensive renovation, including a new roof, updated fa ade, and freshly revamped hallways and common areas. Additional amenities include bike storage and storage lockers available for rent (may be waitlisted).
boutiques and eateries line Myrtle Avenue and you're just a few blocks from Fort Greene Park and its bustling farmers market, the cultural richness of the BAM Cultural District, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the NYC Ferry. The area also offers easy access to Wegmans grocery store.

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.
