120 Cambridge Place: Your Very Own Little Peace of Clinton Hill
A 12.5-Foot-Wide Brownstone with 6 Fireplaces, Updates & Approved Plans on Cambridge Place!
Here's a rare chance to make a classic brownstone your very own. 120 Cambridge Pl is a legal singlefam home on a 12.5' x 100' lot. Its original details are remarkably intact: high ceilings, deep bay windows, carved marble mantels, inlaid parquet floors and one of the most impressive original staircases. All of it sits in an intimate 45' deep footprint made for beautiful vertical, and slightly whimsical, living. The house needs renovating, and it comes with approved architectural plans, a brand-new deck, a brand new roof and new windows, so the hardest parts of the journey are already done. You will take over for design, decor and customization only.
