148 Clinton Avenue is a historic Neo-Greco brownstone built in 1879 by architect T.F. Thomas and builder George Washington Brown, originally constructed for Brooklyn's elite. Located in the heart of Fort Greene just blocks from the park, this substantial building sits on an extra wide and deep lot measuring 31 x 125 feet, with the building itself spanning 25 x 90 feet and offering four exposures for exceptional natural light throughout the day.
The building contains three large residential units, each offering approximately 1,700 to 1,800 square feet of flexible living space with soaring ceilings and oversized bay windows. Units feature the ability to be configured as 2, 3, or even 4 bedroom homes, with each including a windowed home office that can serve as a flex space. The garden level unit offers private backyard access, while upper floors provide tree lined views and skyline vistas. Notably, the building offers super low common charges and taxes compared to neighboring properties of similar scale.
The recent renovation showcases high end finishes throughout, including custom walnut kitchens with fully integrated Bosch appliance packages, honed Carrara marble countertops, and Cle farmhouse brick tile backsplashes. Bathrooms feature luxurious materials like Bruno Perla marble, Zellige tiles, and unlacquered brass hardware. Each unit includes substantial basement storage spaces that rival studio apartment sizes, along with sizable laundry and utility rooms with built in cabinetry.
The Fort Greene location provides easy access to award winning restaurants, BAM, and excellent transit options including the G and C trains, plus the nearby Atlantic Barclay transit hub. The building represents both a unique residential opportunity and potential investment property, currently operating as a rental building in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
