Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block in Clinton Hill, this elegant 20-foot-wide, four-story federal-style townhouse offers the perfect balance of privacy, thoughtful design, and historic charm. Beautifully configured as a pristine owner's triplex over a versatile garden apartment, this home is a rare opportunity-blending timeless character with modern comforts.<br> <br> The upper triplex has been meticulously renovated to create a peaceful, elevated urban retreat. Enter through the gracious parlor level, where soaring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, original architectural details, and an abundance of natural light set the tone. Seven marble fireplace mantels, exposed brick, warm 9-inch wide European oak flooring, and intricate moldings all speak to the home's rich heritage.<br> At the rear of the parlor floor, a bright, open-concept kitchen and dining area overlook a lush 60-foot garden-perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero appliances, a Bertazzoni range with dual ovens and professional-grade hood, a custom pantry, and a dramatic quartzite waterfall island with a second sink! Floor-to-ceiling glass doors and casement windows flood the space with natural light and lead directly to a beautifully landscaped outdoor retreat.<br> <br> Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the garden includes a dedicated dining patio, built-in BBQ area, and a trellised lounge ideal for long summer evenings. Framed by roses, honeysuckle, and mature greenery, it's your own private urban oasis in the heart of Brooklyn.<br> Upstairs, the entire second floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a cozy sleeping alcove, and windows at both ends create a calm, light-filled retreat. The spa-inspired bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized pass-through shower with handmade tiles and dual entries-both functional and visually striking, the shower anchors the space with a sense of flow and luxury. The custom marble sink and radiant heated floors complete the experience, blending comfort and sophistication. A separate laundry room is also found on this floor.<br> <br> On the top floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms each with ample walk-in-closets, a dedicated home office, and another beautifully designed full bathroom-the entire house presents ample space to grow, entertain, while you create lasting memories for you and your loved ones.<br> <br> On the garden level, a separate turn-key one-bedroom apartment offers both flexibility and tremendous value. With it's own under-stoop entrance and entry foyer and direct access to the backyard, it's a great income-producing rental, but can easily serve as an in-law suite, guest quarters, or be joined to the upper triplex to create an expansive single-family home. On this level is an additional tucked away powder room. Efficient split systems serve the garden unit independently while a central HVAC system ensures year-round comfort in the triple. All the rest of the mechanical and electrical components have been revamped as part of the entire gut-renovation process and stored in the cellar for easy access.<br> <br> Located on Waverly Avenue in Clinton Hill-one of Brooklyn's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods-this home is surrounded by culture, character, and convenience. Enjoy easy access to a renowned food scene, a weekly farmers market, and blocks lined with iconic row houses and grand mansions. Just around the corner is the car-free stretch of Willoughby Avenue, prized for its walkability and local charm.
