Property Description for 300 Lafayette Ave

Clinton Hill Brownstone four family Delivered vacant with Approved Plans for two family conversion with 13-Foot Extension! Rare opportunity to create a custom four-story brownstone in the Clinton Hill Historic District with Landmarks approval secured and Department of Buildings approval delivered at closing. Approved plans call for conversion to a two-family residence, including a 13-foot rear extension at the garden and parlor levels, expanding the home to approximately 19.5’ × 55’. The extension meaningfully enhances the scale of the primary living spaces while preserving the integrity of the historic facade. Inside, an exceptional amount of original architectural detail remains intact. Grand proportions — including soaring 12-foot ceilings at the parlor level — provide remarkable volume and light. Classic townhouse scale and preserved period elements create the ideal foundation for a thoughtful, high-end restoration. The proposed layout features a spacious owner’s triplex spanning the parlor, third, and fourth floors, complemented by a separate garden-level rental. Plans also include a generous private terrace off the primary bedroom, offering a rare outdoor retreat within a landmarked district. Located moments from Pratt Institute, the garden apartment presents meaningful supplemental rental income potential, providing flexibility and long-term value for an end user. With approvals in place and DOB approval delivered at closing, the next owner can proceed directly toward construction — avoiding the typical delays associated with landmarked renovations.

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.
