Situated on a lush, tree-lined block in the beloved Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, 140
Clinton Avenue is the best-built home in North Brooklyn. This contemporary two-family home offers generous
proportions, 23.5 ft. wide by 56ft deep and sits on a lot that is 27.5x106. The property also features a shared
driveway which could potentially become private and is surrounded by historic brick and brownstone town
homes, providing the best of both worlds with its modern appeal and picturesque location.
Built from the ground up, this brand new residence offers every amenity you would want including a state-of-
the-art Lutron home automation system, which allows remote heating, snow melt, lighting and shade control
from any computer, smartphone or tablet in the world. Other property features include large, custom windows
(which maximize light at any time of day); high-end, trim-less recessed LED lighting; wide rift
and quartersawn white oak plank floors; radiant floor heating system throughout; highly efficient central heating
and cooling; a back-up system to ensure you are never without heat; spray foam insulation for exceptional
temperature retention; a central vacuum system; cast iron plumbing and much more.
The owner’s section of this 3 bedroom + media room, 3.5-bath residence offers four floors of expansive living
space with 5,240 ft of beautiful finished interior plus a 1,300 ft roof deck and large backyard. On the parlor floor,
natural light floods in through the 11-foot tall, floor-to- ceiling, fully retractable glass wall. You and your guests
can freshen up in the powder room or warm up in the winter by the contemporary linear fireplace. Toward the
rear, you can unlock your inner chef in the custom Italian kitchen by Pedini as you take in views of your lush
backyard. Hosting dinner parties has never been easier with help from the latest in kitchen appliances including
a Wolf double wall oven, cooktop and microwave drawer, Sub-Zero fridge with ice and water
dispenser, Miele coffee maker and dishwasher, Marvel full-height beverage center (which holds 68 wine bottles
and 114 beverage cans), Franke 36” stainless steel farmer’s sink, instant hot water filtration system, pot filler
and garbage disposal. Take a break from cooking and step onto the adjacent spacious deck which leads out to
the backyard where 25 ft. tall bamboo has been planted to ensure your privacy.
On the third floor, retreat to incredibly spacious bedrooms thanks to this home’s wide width and depth as well
as this floor’s 9-feet tall ceilings. The massive master bedroom faces the rear and features an oversized, 14-by-
7 walk-in closet. The master suite also includes a spa-like bathroom featuring Duravit fixtures
and Hansgrohe digital shower, a custom solid surface stone bathtub and double sink by ADM Bathroom
Design, and a DXV AT-200 smart toilet/bidet system that opens, closes and flushes automatically and employs
a night-light, air-freshener, and self-cleaning system. This floor also features two more large bedrooms that can
easily fit queen-size beds, an additional guest bathroom, and a washer/dryer.
The garden floor is equally as spacious as the rest of the home with 8-feet tall ceilings. Toward the front, there is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental while toward the rear, there is a back room directly accessible to the owner’s upper duplex, which can serve as a library/study, media room or bedroom. This home also features a wide-open, fully furnished cellar, a 21-by- 55 uninterrupted space with a bathroom, second laundry area and no columns to interfere with the current or future layout. The owner has not divided this space yet, so you will be able to customize it however you want.
All your needs will be met outside this home as well. Conveniently located, this residence is just steps away from the beautiful Fort Greene Park, quaint cafes, gourmet food and health markets, trendy restaurants and hip bars. Nearby public transportation provides an easy and quick commute to Manhattan, and the new citywide ferry service at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (scheduled to run on the East River route from East 34th to Wall Street/Pier 11 starting in 2018) is also just blocks away.
