About This Home

388 Washington Avenue #2

Set along one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally distinguished streets, 388 Washington Avenue is a rare offering on Clinton Hill’s celebrated “Mansion Row.” Occupying the upper three floors of a magnificent 24-foot-wide neo-Grec brownstone built in 1879, Residence 2 combines the scale, character, and privacy of townhouse living with the ease of condominium ownership. A private entry foyer and staircase lead to an extraordinary entertaining floor, anchored by a dramatic 20'4" × 45'6" living and dining room. A remarkable collection of oversized windows frames leafy streetscape and historic architectural views while filling the home with southern and eastern light. Ceilings soar to 12'6", enhancing the sense of volume and grandeur rarely encountered in a condominium residence. The room's generous proportions allow for distinct living and dining areas, with ample space for an additional library, den, or home office without compromising its openness. Two decorative fireplaces, original architectural detailing, reclaimed antique chestnut floors, custom art lighting, Forbes & Lomax switches, and beautiful millwork bring warmth and character to the impressive scale. At the rear, the 20-foot-long chef's kitchen feels both architectural and inviting, with exposed reclaimed timber beams overhead and windows bringing in natural light from triple exposures. Custom European cabinetry pairs with Venetian marble countertops, a substantial center island, a commercial-grade 48-inch BlueStar gas range, a Viking hood, a Liebherr refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. A windowed powder room completes the entertaining level. Above, four generously proportioned bedrooms and three full baths are arranged across two private levels. The primary suite is a serene retreat, with oversized windows overlooking the historic architecture of Washington Avenue, a large customized walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bath featuring an imported Aquatica sculptural soaking tub, dual vanities, Vola fixtures, and large-format tile. The additional bedrooms are exceptionally well scaled, with reclaimed oak flooring and extensive custom closets and built-in storage throughout. A dedicated laundry room with a full-size vented washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. On the uppermost floor, the architecture takes another turn: a dramatic pitched roofline and four Velux skylights draw natural light deep into the bedrooms, bath, and stair hall, creating airy and unexpected spaces beneath the roofline. Outdoor space is equally special. A private 276-square-foot Ipe terrace overlooks the picturesque carriage houses of Waverly Avenue and easily accommodates both outdoor dining and a separate lounge area - a true extension of the home and a rare private outdoor retreat in the heart of historic Clinton Hill. Originally built in 1879, the nearly 7,000-square-foot mansion has been meticulously reimagined as just two condominium residences. Approximately 24 feet wide and roughly 107 feet deep, with a substantial three-story rear extension, 388 Washington Avenue retains the grandeur and architectural character of one of Clinton Hill’s great historic homes while delivering the comfort and functionality of contemporary living. Perfectly positioned in the historic district of Clinton Hill, 388 Washington Avenue is surrounded by some of Brooklyn’s best dining, culture, and green spaces. Fort Greene Park is nearby, along with neighborhood favorites including Sailor, Roman’s, Place des Fêtes, Golden Ratio, Entre Nous, and Aita. DeKalb, Lafayette, Myrtle, and Fulton Avenues offer an exceptional mix of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences, while multiple subway lines and an extensive network of bike lanes provide easy access throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
