110 Clinton Ave #1A Brooklyn, NY 11205

110 Clinton Avenue, 1A was originally part of the grand parlor floor of a former 1870 Clinton Hill home. This spacious two-bed, one and one-half-bath duplex offers abundant charm with great proportions - retaining its high ceilings, two marble mantles and access to a large, private front porch. With some cosmetic attention, 110 Clinton Avenue, unit 1A will be a wonderful home - already offering modern upgrades like AC, dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer and hardwood floors. This romantic unit offers a large living/dining room featuring an original marble mantle with a pretty leaf motif and an arched iron firebox. Two big windows overlook the front porch surrounded by evergreens, and French doors lead into an ample bedroom. The kitchen is adjacent to the living room and features an antique copper sink and oak countertop, two-drawer dishwasher, small induction cooktop and a side-opening wall oven. Two "hidden" pantries offer extra storage. The primary bedroom features a second marble mantle, two large windows, and a renovated ensuite bath with classic Brownstone-Brooklyn finishes. It has three closets and is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, armoire, desk, bookcases, and other furniture. From the living room, a spiral staircase leads to a den that may be used as a second bedroom. It receives natural light from two south-facing windows and has a half bath with a stacked washer/dryer. The well-maintained co-op also has a common laundry room with a large washer/dryer that is free to use, and storage is available. Springtime displays the beautifully planted grounds and the front garden offers a pretty place to sit on nice days. Each unit has its own gas-fired boiler and water heater. 110 Clinton Ave is located steps away from Myrtle Avenue with its myriad of restaurants and other conveniences, and is a short walk to the G train on Lafayette Avenue. Maintenance is $1,223pm plus utilities. Please note the images have been virtually decluttered. The house was constructed around 1870 by William E. Bird, who operated an ironworks business. His son, also named William E. Bird, went on to become a prominent wine importer in New York City. The Bird family initially owned six lots around this property. While the architect's identity isn't confirmed, there's a good possibility it was Ebenizer Roberts. The earliest newspaper mentions of residents in the house date back to 1870, and it showcases Italianate architectural style.
