Property Description for 157 Waverly Ave, 2-D

In the vibrant heart of Clinton Hill, discover 157 Waverly Avenue #2D-a dramatic one-bedroom coop that epitomizes loft living. Soaring ceilings, bold exposed brick, gleaming hardwood floors, and brilliant natural light streaming through oversized west-facing windows set the stage. At its heart, a working wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, creating a warm and inviting centerpiece perfect for both entertaining and unwinding.

A brick-lined entry foyer welcomes you home, complete with a spacious coat closet for easy storage. Sunlight draws you forward into the expansive living and dining area, seamlessly connected to the kitchen. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, a butcher block counter, and a versatile stainless steel island, the kitchen offers both function and flexibility, flowing effortlessly into the entertaining space.

Distinct living and dining zones are thoughtfully proportioned, while the cozy fireplace lends character and charm. The renovated bathroom features a deep soaking tub, sleek chrome fixtures, modern tile, and a generously sized, lighted medicine cabinet. Tucked away from the living space, the tranquil bedroom features charming exposed brick, built-in shelving, and plenty of storage with two spacious closets.

Set within Clinton Hill's leafy, historic streets, 157 Waverly carries a storied past and architectural pedigree. Its rare cast-iron facade once graced the Golden Key Hotel and Lenruth Hall in the 1940s. Converted to a boutique 14-unit coop in 1989, the building has recently been refreshed with a new roof, restored facade, and newly renovated hallways and common areas. Amenities include bike storage and rentable storage lockers (subject to availability).

Just outside your door, Myrtle Avenue buzzes with boutique shops and eateries, while Fort Greene Park and its lively farmers market, the BAM Cultural District, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the NYC Ferry are moments away. Wegmans is also nearby for all your grocery needs.

Please note, dogs are permitted with approval.

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.
