This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most beautiful, perfectly renovated townhouses right at the intersection of the best parts of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. This spectacular, turn-key brownstone has over 3500 SF above ground, plus a cellar of 800 SF. It is currently configured as a three-story owner’s triplex, with a luxurious garden apartment, but has been designed to also function seamlessly as a single-family home.

Flawlessly constructed to a high standard and delivered in mint condition, this extraordinary house combines the elegance and charm of a 19th century townhome with modern aesthetics and comforts. The owner’s triplex boasts 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. An exquisitely restored sky-lit staircase floods the center of the house with natural light. Most rooms take advantage of the full 20’ width of the house, and there are exceptional ceiling heights throughout, reaching 11-feet on the parlor floor, as well as new wide-plank solid walnut flooring. Unlacquered brass hardware with a beautiful patina is featured throughout the house, including the Forbes and Lomax light-switches, and each floor has a separate zone of HVAC.

Ascend the stoop and enter the house through the double-door vestibule, where a large entrance hall greets visitors and leads to the grand parlor room, with a wood burning fireplace, with original marble mantel, and ample space for multiple seating areas. The sleek chef’s kitchen is sun-filled, with an entire wall of modern glass floor-to-ceiling windows and doors overlooking the beautifully landscaped and verdant garden. Featuring blue polished concrete flooring, custom white-oak cabinetry, concrete countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a suite of stainless steel appliances (including a Viking range, Liebherr refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher), the kitchen also offers a huge open dining area that could easily accommodate intimate or large dinner parties. Double doors open to a balcony running the entire width of the house, and stairs leading down to the garden. Built-in audio speakers and a powder room complete the parlor floor.

The kitchen terrace’s stairs lead to a perfectly designed south-facing garden, with stone pavers, and planted borders. Beautifully landscaped with a combination of deciduous and evergreen mature shrubs and trees, providing privacy and shade in summer, but beautiful southern light in winter, the garden offers a private and tranquil green space.

From the elegant entry hall, the gracious and refurbished staircase leads up to the primary suite. An oasis of calm, the primary bedroom is ideally positioned at the rear of the house. A grisaille mural of a pastoral scene sets the tone for the room, while a glass door leads to a private terrace overlooking the peaceful garden. The luxurious en-suite bath features an oversized double vanity, a marble-tiled walk-in shower, and Waterworks fixtures. Beyond the bath is a large walk-in closet/dressing room. Down the hall is a library/den that doubles as a fourth secondary or guest bedroom, with a built-in murphy bed, and 3 windows overlooking the tree-lined street. Another full bathroom and large closet are off the stair hall.

The top floor has two equally large bedrooms, a skylit bathroom, extensive storage, and a laundry room.

Returning to the parlor floor, the stair leads down to the garden level, which can be used as a perfect den/family room and a guest bedroom, or locked off and used as a luxurious 1 bedroom/1 bath garden apartment. Similar to the parlor floor, a wall of glass windows and a door floods the open living area and kitchen with light, and provides a beautiful view and access to the garden. This floor also has direct access to the street from the under-stoop entrance to a common hallway.

Built in 1876, 298 Dekalb Avenue is a brownstone-faced Italianate townhouse on a 20’ wide by 100’ deep lot. This is truly a remarkable offering at the border of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene, on a quiet residential
