181 Clermont Ave. #201

Designed by Meltzer/Mandl Architects, Clermont Greene is the most unique full-service building in Fort Greene. It has amenities like a WiFi-enabled exercise room, bike storage, and an on-site parking garage; plus it features common outdoor space for all 74 units in its serene interior courtyard with picnic tables, chaises, fountain and reflecting pool. Also, each of the twin buildings (one on Clermont Avenue and one on Vanderbilt Avenue) has its own common roof deck with spectacular views of Brooklyn’s and Manhattan’s skylines, the East River and the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.

Floor-through exposure in this unit provides excellent light throughout the day, and it has an east-facing private terrace which overlooks the interior courtyard and gets incredible morning light. The kitchen features oak rift-cut soft close cabinets, Caesarstone countertops and stainless steel Electrolux appliances including a whisper-quiet dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer with ice and water in the door, gas cooktop and oven, and a Sharp convection/microwave. The bathrooms have Villeroy & Boch basins and cabinets as well as Neptune soaking tubs; and the master bathroom has both a bathtub and a large shower room. The unit has Brazilian teak floors, a stackable LG washer/dryer, and lots of closets. There is also a deeded parking space available in the building’s garage.

Solid financials and a tax abatement through 2025 mean common charges and real estate taxes will remain manageable. With its size, features, and proximity to Fort Greene Park, transportation, and shops and restaurants on Fulton, Lafayette, DeKalb, and Myrtle, there are no properties like Clermont Greene anywhere around Brownstone Brooklyn; and family sized units don’t come onto the market very often. This is a chance to own a rarely-available unit in the best building in New York’s most desirable zip code.
