73 Downing St is brimming with possibilities. Built in 1890, this 4 story, 3-family is one of five in a row of Queen Anne style buildings designed by architect George P. Chapell. With gorgeous, intact facade details, such as carved woodwork and scalloped-shaped shingles, and a clay tile roof – this townhouse stands out. Most recently used as a two family home with a garden rental and triplex above, this house can easily transform into a single family home or even a double duplex.
Infrastructure updates have been completed already, including upgraded electrical panel, the installation of central AC as well as stunning triple-pane energy efficient windows throughout. The parlor level features oversized double doors leading to an ipe deck and with steel stairs to the lush backyard. While modernization has been done, this house features lovely details, such as beautiful wood mantles with period tile surrounds and decorative cast iron fireboxes. Original wood floors and unfinished wood newel posts, banisters and balusters are found throughout. The parlor floor is currently set up as a full floor of living space with a full bathroom and bar. On the floor above, you will find a full kitchen as well as additional living/dining space, a bedroom and full bathroom with laundry. The top floor brings you to two additional large bedrooms and a recently renovated full bathroom with heated floor, a spa-like shower and period 6ft cast iron tub. Oversized energy efficient skylights bring in loads of natural light and the unique peaked roof adds charm to the top floor.
The garden level has its own private entrance and hallway, but is also accessible from the parlor floor. It is currently set up as a well-sized 1 bedroom apartment with access to the backyard, including a covered patio. A full cellar provides more usable space as well as abundant storage, a second laundry hook up, and mechanicals.
At only 3 blocks long, Downing street is a quiet one way street situated in beautiful Clinton Hill Brooklyn, a 5 minute walk to the C train. Known for great restaurants, shops and bucolic streets, this property is surrounded by the best of Brownstone Brooklyn.
