226 Saint James Place is a 1920 pre war limestone condominium in Clinton Hill’s historic district and the childhood home of Christopher Wallace, known as Biggie Smalls. The renovated four story, eight unit building retains its original character while incorporating updated infrastructure and shared amenities. It is a walk up with an intercom.
Apartments at 226 Saint James Place are shaped by the generous proportions of the building’s era, with high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, crown molding, and other period details. Three bedroom layouts recur, often with a flexible den or office and a separate dining room. Kitchens commonly have granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and substantial cabinet and prep space, while bay windows and multiple exposures contribute to the apartments’ natural light.
Shared amenities include a roof deck, a common garden with patio furniture and a grill, central laundry, dedicated basement storage, bicycle storage, and stroller racks. Solar panels installed in 2019 supplement the building’s electrical system. The address is on a tree lined Clinton Hill block near Fort Greene Park, Pratt Institute, Fulton Street shopping, and the neighborhood’s restaurants and cultural venues.
