About this House

Located on quiet, L-shaped Downing Street in the heart of Clinton Hill, this stunning floor-through two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is available for rent in one of Brooklyn's most distinctive boutique condominiums.

At roughly 20 feet wide and 65 feet long, the apartment lives like a loft with oversized windows at both ends flooding the space with light, high ceilings, and more square footage than your typical two-bedroom. The layout stretches from the calm of Downing Street on the east to tranquil townhouse garden views on the west.

A foyer entry with a floating coat closet and chevron stone floor tiles opens into an expansive living and dining area featuring quarter-sawn white oak floors, an exposed brick wall, and a decorative fireplace. The sleek, renovated kitchen is outfitted with Bosch and Fisher-Paykel stainless steel appliances, custom above- and below-counter cabinetry, Corian countertops, a marble tile backsplash, wine fridge, garbage disposal, and a generous pantry closet.

Down the hall finished in the same elegant stone tiling you'll find a dedicated home office area, linen closet, and in-unit washer/dryer. A full bathroom with a deep soaking tub and floor-to-ceiling subway tile serves the second bedroom, while the en-suite primary bedroom features a glass-walled shower, marble-topped vanity, and a double closet. Dual-zoned ducted HVAC keeps both ends of the apartment comfortable year-round.

Built in the 1880s, reimagined as the legendary "Broken Angel" in the 1980s, and thoughtfully redeveloped as a boutique 8-unit condominium in 2015, 4 Downing Street is a building with genuine character. Residents enjoy elevator access, bike storage, and a spectacular common roof deck with a grill, lounge seating, and sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines.

Perfectly situated in prime Clinton Hill, steps from the C and G trains and a short distance to Franklin Avenue, Fort Greene, Prospect Heights, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Atlantic Terminal, and Barclays Center.
