About this home

Apartment for sale in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. Asking price $800,000. Built in 1929.

From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

6D is a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking pre-war character paired with modern conveniences - from a virtual doorman system to elevator access, all within a well-managed 65-unit building. Flexible purchase structures, including co-purchasing and parents buying for children, subletting after two years of ownership, along with a welcoming pet policy for both cats and dogs, open the door to a wide range of buyers. Home 6D Inside, the apartment showcases classic pre-war charm elevated by thoughtful updates, such as stainless steel appliances, a granite countertop open kitchen with barstool seating, and custom automated Roman shades that convey with the sale. The apartment has sought after original details like the cast iron tub in the bathroom, picture molding, and brass sconces in the living room - a true testament to the workmanship and longevity of materials from the pre-war era. The apartment is a one of four units on the very top floor ( penthouse level) of the co-op, with a proper entry way foyer, dining table space in the living room, and four deep closets. The corner exposure fills the home with light throughout the day - the kitchen faces north, the bedroom faces east, and the bathroom and living room face west - while the top-floor vantage point delivers sweeping views spanning both Downtown Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline. Practical comforts round out the layout, including a dishwasher, steam radiator heat with through-window air conditioning, and a private storage locker included with the unit. Current ACs will remain in the sale. They are 1 year old. The Building & Neighborhood Francine Towers has stood as a Clinton Hill fixture since 1905, and today offers residents an elevator building with two wings, a virtual doorman, bike room, laundry room, and two private courtyard spaces, plus a building-wide composting program. Recent building improvements include a freshly repainted and cleaned lobby and roof repairs, with a prior reserve-fund assessment already settled by the seller. Ideally located between DeKalb and Myrtle Avenues, the building sits within the Fort Greene Historic District, moments from Fort Greene Park, Pratt Institute, and convenient access to the G train - offering the best of Clinton Hill's tree-lined, culturally rich streets.
