441 Clermont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

This handsome 19th century Italianate style townhouse in the Fort Greene Historic District has two floors, beautifully designed by the owners for their own use, and two appealing one bedroom floor-through rental apartments above. With an east west orientation, the interiors are bright all day and the distinctive facade with white marble lintels and parlor door surround is bathed in afternoon light. 20 x 35 on a 100-foot lot, the home has a patio on the garden level and a deep parlor level terrace with built-in seating. Corkscrew willow trees provide a dramatic natural screen for the terrace and patio and there are raised planting beds beyond. The garden and parlor levels of the home are strikingly beautiful and serene with a Brooklyn Modern design aesthetic. Mechanicals are updated and rental and owner units are separately metered. Real estate taxes are $573 per month. Fort Greene residents enjoy BAM, a year-round Saturday Greenmarket, 30-acre Fort Greene Park, Barclay's and an abundance of popular restaurants and specialty shops. 441 is between Greene and Gates on Clermont, a few blocks from the C at Lafayette and C&G at Clinton & Washington.
