Property Description for 266 Saint James Place

A rare chance to create an extraordinary Clinton Hill residence entirely your own. Set along one of Brooklyn’s most beautiful brownstone streets, 266 Saint James Place presents the increasingly uncommon chance to transform an entire townhouse. Offered as-is and ready for a comprehensive renovation, this 5-Family home brings together generous proportions, original character, private outdoor space, and remarkable flexibility for its next chapter. The residence sits on an 18.75' x 100' lot, with an approximately 18.75' x 45' building footprint, and unfolds across four above-grade levels plus a full cellar. At the rear, an approximately 18'9" x 42' garden offers exceptional potential for a landscaped retreat and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Throughout the interiors, surviving period details hint at the home’s history, including the staircase, ornamental plasterwork, decorative moldings and fireplaces. These elements offer a beautiful starting point for a thoughtful restoration that balances classic Brooklyn character with a refined contemporary sensibility. Just beyond the front door, Fulton Street’s restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood favorites are moments away, while Fort Greene, Prospect Heights, Pratt Institute, Fort Greene Park, and Downtown Brooklyn are all within easy reach. The C train at Clinton-Washington Avenues provides convenient access throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Whether envisioned as a one-of-a-kind private home or thoughtfully repositioned as a multifamily property, 266 Saint James Place offers the space, setting, and character to become something truly special. Offered as-is. Square footage is as per 3rd party, to be independently verified. Please note, this is a cash-only opportunity. Delivered Vacant.

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.
