372 Dekalb Avenue   Unit 1I

A perfect blend of old-world Brooklyn charm and Dwell-worthy modern design, this 2BR/2BA co-op in the pre-war Clinton Mews is full of thoughtful touches: from the handsome dining booth with wraparound bookshelves, to the gut-renovated kitchen opened to convey to the light-filled living room (exposing an original beam in the process) to the multiple built-ins providing ample stylish storage including built-in shoe drawers that delightfully recall the building's history as a shoe factory circa 1910 (tagline: "Born and bred in Brooklyn"). Talk about history!
A generous foyer is flanked by a renovated bathroom featuring a glass stall shower, marble finishes, dramatic wallpaper, and unique tiled floors and the spacious open kitchen with generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances from Bertazzoni and Fisher & Paykel, and a pantry/laundry room with a suburbia-sized stacked LG washer and dryer. The living room is smartly separated from the dining nook and provides ample space to gather and relax. The king-size primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, along with a foyer offering possibilities for extra storage, a dressing room, or a conversion to an even larger walk-in on the way to the second bathroom. The second bedroom is generously proportioned and equally inviting as a spare or child's bedroom, home office, or studio, with built-in storage and warm light all day long.
The Clinton Mews was converted from a pre-war shoe factory to 78 residential lofts in 1987. The unique layout of 1I is rare within the building; common amenities include brand new elevators, on-site security, bike storage, a landscaped courtyard, a live-in super, and full-time porters. Ultra-convenient, gated parking is literally right out the back door and available for $177 per month.
Across the street from the Pratt Institute and its gorgeous sculpture garden, a few blocks from Ft. Greene Park, and a 20-minute walk to BAM, Barclays Center, and City Point BKLYN, 372 Dekalb is a calm oasis in a storied neighborhood. Abundant green space, cultural outings, and delectable dining at local favorites like Evelina, Miss Ada, Imani, Speedy Romeo, Mekelburgs, Peaches, and Roman's means you'll never want to leave the neighborhood but if you have to, the G train is around the corner, and the A/C is just a ten-minute walk away.
