Welcome to one of the neighborhood's most distinguished residences, 291 Clinton Avenue, a 5119 SF Romanesque Revival townhouse, masterfully reimagined for modern living. Enjoy a 6-bedroom, 4.5 bath quadruplex over a high yielding 2-bed garden apartment that blends rich historic character with contemporary luxury, and also enjoys a spacious deck and garden, all within a half a block of the best Fort Greene amenities, including Fort Greene Park, Pratt Institute, subways, and award-winning restaurants such as Sailor and Romans on Dekalb. A trophy property on Clinton Hill and Fort Greene's Gold Coast, where history meets modernity. Live large and collect a great income OR take the entire home for yourself and live even larger without doing any work!

Originally designed in 1894 by renowned architect George M. Walgrove, this stately home sits among a row of architecturally significant homes that blend the boldness of Romanesque Revival and Renaissance detailing. Clad in brownstone, brick, and period ornamentation, this 5-story home has been meticulously restored with careful attention to leaving period details intact. The masterful renovation includes brand-new electric, plumbing, mechanicals, sprinklers, windows, kitchens, baths, and re-done chimneys, ensuring long-term durability and immediate move-in. Central AC and redone HVAC provide year-round comfort. Inside, period details are preserved at every turn including hardwood floors, elegant millwork and wainscoting, restored mantels on two wood-burning fireplaces, and a stunning chandelier straight from the Plaza Hotel. The original grand staircase has been restored with new treads, risers, and stringers, preserving the home's architectural centerpiece.

Step through an elegant vestibule into the main living floor, where soaring ceilings & herringbone floors set the tone. An unrivaled triple parlor is divided into a formal dining room; a central kitchen and breakfast nook; and a grand living room in back complete with a wood-burning fireplace, original stained-glass window, and the perfect flow to a terrace. A striking chef's kitchen offers ample custom cabinetry with wood shelves re-purposed from the Domino Sugar Factory, while Statuario marble countertops and a massive island make this the heart of the home. The kitchen is equipped with a professional Wolf 6-burner range & dual oven, 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, wine fridge and pantry. The terrace is perfect for outdoor dining and leads to an easy-to-maintain and infinitely practical Ipe-decked rear garden. A powder room is richly clad in Eskayel wallpaper.

Up the grand staircase on the third floor awaits a spacious family room outfitted with a custom Henry Built credenza. Another large terrace is perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. At the front of this floor awaits a sunlit ensuite bedroom featuring a curved bay window facing west, and a luxurious bath. Head up one more floor to three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The west facing bedroom offers double vanities and another spacious ensuite bath. The other two bedrooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a double vanity with marble countertops and a deep soaking tub. A top floor primary suite offers a sanctuary with an oversized bedroom complete with treetop views through three windows. The bathroom boasts skylights, a cast-iron freestanding tub, large glass-enclosed shower, double vanity & Brass fixtures. A large walk-in closet & dressing room is tucked away past the bath. The additional windowed room on this floor is perfect for a home gym, office, or nursery. Frankly you have your choice of three primary suites! And don't miss the large garden apartment, offering outstanding rental income potential, or an ideal setup for multi-generational living with central air & high-end finishes throughout. This magnificent home is the complete package.
