4 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Brooklyn, New York

A show-stopping 5 story single-family Carriage House with terrace and rear garden in the heart of the Fort Greene / Clinton Hill Historic District. Built in the architectural style of the area’s historic homes, this exceptional 4 bedroom+ /4 bath & 2 half bath property was constructed in 2006 by architect Ben Ellis as a tribute to the area’s celebrated mansions.

Upon entering, a charming and wonderfully practical mudroom gives way to a sizable foyer and step-down dining room and renovated kitchen where no detail was spared. It features honed Carrera marble countertops, a solid-wood butcher block kitchen island, a vented 4-burner Viking range with griddle, wall-mounted pot-filler, Subzero refrigerator, 48-bottle wine refrigerator, Miele dishwasher—even a garbage disposal. All of this extends out to a deep and gorgeous private garden for pitch-perfect entertaining and relaxing during warmer months. You’ll also find a whimsical powder room and large, windowed laundry room with a commercial-grade washer/dryer on the ground level.

Up the sky-lit staircase, the second floor leads to an elegant mezzanine that separates a bright and spacious study from the stunningly wide and breathtaking living room, equipped with a gorgeous marble fireplace. Pocket doors separate the study from the living area, offering tons of privacy--there is also a powder room on this level.

On the third floor you’ll discover a large master suite and walk-in closet with a sunny, windowed bathroom that boasts a custom mid-century double vanity, cast iron clawfoot tub, Rohn fixtures, a separate shower with marble subway tiles and radiant-heated floors. Across the hall beyond the staircase landing and additional stacked washer/dryer + laundry closet, is a guest bedroom currently configured with a built-in divider creating two charming, cheerful rooms with a shared bath and California Closets. Perfect for kids who want to be close but also appreciate their own space.

Two additional bedrooms and one full bathroom crown the top fourth floor, along with a cozy den and wet bar overlooking an enormous terrace with beautiful southwesterly exposures over Clinton Hill's historic landscape. Flourished with a double-drawer refrigerator, it's THE perch for sunset cocktails.

And not to be forgotten is the lower level Rec Room which serves multiple functions, thanks to the convenience of a full bathroom. Whether you need a kids’ playroom, home gym, guest space, media room, home office or all of the above, your needs are easily accommodated. Ping-pong table and Peloton bike are at your disposal!

Thoughtful designer details run throughout this magnificent home to include matte black Peruvian Walnut floors, French hand-painted wallpaper, generous wall space for displaying artwork, and custom millwork and wainscoting. System upgrades include a whole-home intercom system, SimpliSafe security and flood-sensors, radiant heat in the basement, dining room and kitchen, commercial-grade hardwiring for wi-fi, a Nest system, and irrigated garden & terrace.

The Clinton Hill Historic District is a vibrant and largely residential neighborhood consisting of buildings built between the 1840s and 1930s (or in that vein). Points of interest in and around the area include Pratt Institute, Ft. Greene Park, and numerous shops, restaurants, markets and schools. Public transit is also nearby. You are 10 minutes from downtown Brooklyn, 15 mins from Williamsburg Brooklyn, and of course, Manhattan is just a hop skip and a jump via train or Uber.

Brooklyn is home to this vacation home. Brooklyn Bridge and One World Trade Center are notable landmarks, and some of the area's popular attractions include Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum and American Museum of Natural History.
