This property offers a rare financial opportunity. While the home is in need of renovation, at this price there is room to create a unique 1- or 2-bedroom home, tailored to your lifestyle, for far less than you would pay for a renovated apartment in this cooperative. Apartment 2D is a large convertible 2-bedroom in a highly desirable location on the border of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. It is currently configured as a spacious 1-bed with a dining room and features five oversized windows with two exposures for plenty of light, five closets and a pantry for excellent storage, and original hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has a window and room for a dishwasher. The bathroom has the original 1930s tile and the bedroom is enormous, with room enough for a king-sized bedroom set and also a sitting area or home office. Plus, the dining room has two windows with two exposures and can easily be enclosed to create a den, office, or guest room. The well-maintained Clinton Hill Apartments were originally built as housing for the Brooklyn Navy Yard and they remain the best value in this highly desirable location. The building has renovated laundry facilities, elevators, an on-site maintenance staff, 24-hour security, bike storage, a package room, and a common landscaped courtyard. The G train is close, and the C train is just two-blocks farther, plus there are buses on the corner to take you downtown and to all other trains in the system in just a few stops. The neighborhood is rich with green spaces, like the Pratt Sculpture Garden, and amenities that include acclaimed restaurants like Sailor, Roman's, and Theodora.
