Property Description for 66 Downing Street

Set on a tree-lined, landmarked block in Clinton Hill, 66 Downing Street is a 20-foot-wide, five-story brownstone that marries historic character with bespoke modern design. Measuring 54 feet deep on the first two levels and spanning nearly 5,000 square feet, the home is both substantial and refined-crafted for grand entertaining as much as for the ease of everyday living.
A gracious vestibule with restored original entry doors, coffee-brown marble slab flooring, and designer wallpaper sets the tone, leading into the parlor level where soaring ceilings over ten feet high and 10-inch-wide white oak floors establish a warm, modern-classic aesthetic. The sweeping living and dining space features an original decorative fireplace and flows seamlessly into a custom eat-in kitchen. Anchored by a built-in banquette breakfast nook, the kitchen is finished with Calacatta Vagli marble countertops, integrated cabinetry, and a full suite of Miele appliances-opening directly to a west-facing deck and tranquil garden.
A jewel-box powder room on this level features a Calacatta Capri marble floor and a custom-carved stone sink.
The upper three floors have been thoughtfully designed, including a full-floor primary suite with a private terrace, expansive custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath clad in mocha-hued Arte Museum porcelain. With its travertine-inspired texture, soaking tub, oversized shower with bench, and double vanity topped with a sculptural marble countertop, the suite balances timeless elegance with modern serenity. A study, laundry, and linen closet complete this level.
The top two floors provide four additional bedrooms, each generously proportioned with access to beautifully finished baths featuring travertine-style flooring and playful colored tile accents. Thoughtful extras-multi-zone ducted Mitsubishi heating and cooling, built-in Sonos sound system, abundant storage, and a finished basement with laundry-allow the home to adapt gracefully to a variety of lifestyles.
On the garden level, you'll find a fully independent two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with its own private entrance tucked beneath the stoop-ideal for guests, extended family, or income potential.
Outdoors, multiple private terraces and a landscaped backyard invite al fresco dining, gatherings, or quiet retreat.
All of this is framed by the architectural beauty and cultural vibrancy of Clinton Hill, just moments from the A/C trains at Clinton-Washington and Franklin, and the G at Franklin Avenue. Neighborhood favorites like Otway, Sisters, and Locanda Vini & Olii are at your doorstep, making this both a timeless home and a quintessential Brooklyn lifestyle....

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.
