This happy and bright, well-preserved two-family Clinton Hill townhouse emanates charm. Built c. 1863 as part of a quartet of bay-fronted Italianate houses, 91 Cambridge Place has been lovingly upgraded throughout while maintaining its historic details.
Up the brownstone stoop with original cast iron newel posts is the 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath upper triplex. The front parlor features an original marble mantle, parquet floors and a floor-to-ceiling, three-sided bay window. The renovated kitchen is replete with a Lacanche gas range, custom fully-vented Modern-Aire hood and 36-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator. Custom cabinets from Casa Collection by Roberto Gil, marble counters and an island with a Shaws sink complete this chef-designed space. Off of the sunny kitchen is a rear deck leading to the landscaped garden. A discreet powder room off the entry hall is an added convenience to the main level.
The entire second floor encompasses the master suite. The master bedroom enjoys the full width of this approx. 20-foot wide house, and includes a gorgeous bay window as well as diagonal wood floors with inlaid border. To the rear of its walk-in closets is a contiguous sitting room/study with built-in bookcases and decorative fireplace. Alternately, this can serve as a completely separate additional bedroom. A full, windowed bathroom completes this floor.
The top floor of the upper triplex has three additional bedrooms, a full bath and vented LG laundry. Original wide-plank floors, clawfoot bathtub and skylights add to the historic charm and country feel of this bedroom floor.
The income-producing garden level consists of a one-bedroom apartment with a separate, under-stoop entrance and rear patio.
House-wide upgrades include a new boiler, rebuilt stairs, new windows, stoop and facade work, and cellar finishing and waterproofing.
91 Cambridge Place is just three blocks from the C train and four blocks from the G, both at Clinton-Washington Ave stops, and is just off the newly renovated Putnam Triangle. Cambridge Place is a quiet and wide two block street, making it one of the most coveted addresses in the neighborhood. Clinton Hill is known for its numerous dining and shopping spots including: Sisters, Otway, The Good Batch, The Finch, Leon & Son wine shop, Locanda Vini & Olii, along with plenty of terrific places to shop for groceries.
