Property Description
A Rare Corner Brοwnstοne Οpрοrtunіty in the Heаrt οf Cаrrοll Gardеns
Welcome to 485 Clinton Street, a unique corner brownstone offering exceptional outdoor space, flexible living arrangements, and endless potential in one of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods.
Set on a prime corner lot, this special property is distinguished by its lush private side garden featuring true green space and grass-an increasingly rare find in Brooklyn. The side garden is a signature feature of historic Carroll Gardens. Like the iconic front gardens that define the neighborhood's picturesque blocks, this city-owned green space is protected from future development, preserving the open streetscape while allowing homeowners to landscape, plant, and enjoy it as a beautiful extension of their home.
The duplex residence spans the garden and parlor levels and has been maintained with stone countertops, center island and split-unit systems throughout. The garden-level kitchen opens directly to the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living-perfect for entertaining, dining al fresco, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by greenery. Upstairs, the parlor floor offers two spacious bedrooms connected by a versatile office, sitting room, or nursery, providing flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.
Above the duplex, two separate one-bedroom apartments offer excellent income-producing potential while presenting future opportunities for expansion, customization, or conversion to suit your needs.
Owned by the same family for more than 60 years, this property presents a rare chance to put your personal stamp on a home with tremendous potential in one of Brooklyn's most desirable brownstone neighborhoods.
Enjoy the very best of Carroll Gardens just moments from your doorstep, including Luana's Tavern, Frankies 457 Spuntino, Caputo's Fine Foods, Lucali, and Court Street Grocers. Residents also enjoy convenient access to the popular PS 58 farmers market, the F and G subway lines, NYC Ferry service, Citi Bike stations, and an easy commute to Manhattan, offering the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and city convenience.
