Five-unit pre-war co-op in a 19th-century Italianate brownstone featuring exceptional period details, tall ceilings, and outdoor space. Prime Cobble Hill location near Brooklyn Bridge Park with easy access to Borough Hall transit and neighborhood dining.
199 Clinton Street is a five unit pre war co op in a 19th century Italianate brownstone built for merchant Samuel Richard St. John. The corner building retains an unusually rich collection of period details, including carved moldings, ceiling medallions, pier mirrors, fireplaces, parquet floors, and curved paneled doors.
The apartments are shaped by tall ceilings, oversized windows, and multiple exposures, with south, east, and west light recurring across the layouts. Outdoor space is also part of the building’s range, including a terrace and access to a gated horse walk. One residence is organized as a first floor duplex that extends over two levels, placing part of the home below the building’s entry level.
Resident storage and in unit washer/dryers are among the building’s practical features. The small co op has five residences, and pets require co op board approval.
In Cobble Hill, the building is two blocks from Cobble Hill Park and close to Brooklyn Bridge Park, Atlantic Avenue, and Court Street. Trader Joe’s, Sahadi’s, and DellaPietra’s Meats are within a few blocks, along with restaurants including Colonie, Chez Moi, La Vara, and Hibino. The Borough Hall station, served by the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, is a short walk away, with additional subway and ferry connections nearby.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
