The main garden level opens into a generous open-concept living and dining area anchored by hardwood floors, crown molding, and a striking white-painted exposed brick accent wall. The layout flows seamlessly into a renovated kitchen featuring white shaker-style cabinetry, gold hardware, open shelving, a glass hood vent, stainless steel French door refrigerator, dishwasher, and gas range, all beneath recessed lighting and a subway tile backsplash with decorative accent band. Also on this level: two separate rooms currently configured as a bedroom and home office, a full bathroom, and direct access to a private rear patio.
That patio is the real differentiator. A covered, brick-paved outdoor retreat enclosed by bamboo privacy screening with string lights overhead. Private outdoor space like this is rare in apartment living.
A custom glass-and-dark-wood spiral staircase connects the main level to a sprawling lower-level recreation room with recessed lighting, offering exceptional flexibility for a media room, home gym, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Dedicated in-unit stacked washer/dryer and additional storage round out the lower level.
Mini-split climate control runs throughout. Abundant storage at every turn.
Clifton Place sits right at the seam of Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill, two of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods, with a strong sense of community and block pride. The dining and retail corridors along Bedford Avenue, Franklin Avenue, and Myrtle Avenue are all within easy reach, alongside local coffee shops, grocery stores, and fitness studios. Trad Room, Chez Oskar, Peaches, and Cafe Rue Dix are neighborhood staples. The G train at Classon Avenue and the A/C at Franklin Avenue put downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan minutes away.
Quick Profile
Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood.
Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue.
At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
