$4,000,000 62 Cambridge Place, New York City, NY 11238
Grand Townhouse with Garage in the Heart of Clinton Hill Located on the exceptionally bucolic Cambridge Place in the heart of the Clinton Hill Landmark district. Built in 1863 by William Rushmore, 62 Cambridge Place is a beautiful early example of the French Second Empire style, crafted from brick and clad with stucco, according to its original design. This elegant townhouse retains many historic details, including eight original marble fireplace mantles. The original newel post, staircase, ironwork, and mansard roof design are intact. Three exposures bring light into every room all day long. You'll live in comfort at 62 Cambridge Place, where the owners paid meticulous attention to getting the details right. The renovation was completed with high end fixtures, finishes, and systems throughout, including central air conditioning, a Buderus tankless water heater, and a central in-wall vacuum cleaner system. Coming home, you'll enter through a lovely front garden or across your own private herringbone brick driveway and into a skylit garage or artist's studio. Inside, a mudroom leads to two bedrooms, each with its own fireplace. The garden level also includes a full bathroom and access to the cellar, which is nicely finished and ready to become your media room, play area, or office. The parlor floor is perfectly suited for entertaining and everyday life. The ceilings here soar over 11 feet high, and in the living room magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows frame the view of Cambridge Place. An elegant wood burning fireplace with its original marble mantle is the perfect place to relax on a cold winter night. The kitchen is tastefully outfitted with new cabinets, countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Dual pantries frame an original marble fireplace mantle. Tall windows look out over your expansive backyard, with trees, plantings, and brick-bordered flower beds. Dine al fresco on the large terrace. Stairs lead you down to the garden making outdoor entertaining a breeze. Head on upstairs to the private levels of the home. You'll find a wonderful oasis on the primary bedroom level, where the luxuriously spacious bathroom includes a double sink vanity, jacuzzi bath, large shower, linen closet, and fireplace. The primary bedroom is graced with a marble fireplace. On the top floor, the bedrooms are equipped with wood-burning fireplaces and provide tree-top views ideal for daydreaming. There's a full bathroom with a window and a skylit laundry room, conveniently located right where you need it most, complete with a sink. The backyard here sprawls 25 feet wide by 50 feet deep and is an ideal space for vegetable grower enthusiasts. Access through the driveway and garage/studio make it easy and convenient to bring in your garden supplies and equipment. Imagine having your own organic farm for a true food to table experience for your guests. Close proximity to subways (A, C, G), bus lines, Citibike, bike paths and restaurants (Speedy Romeo, Locanda Vini e Olii, Emily (the original), Aita, Izzy Rose, Peaches, Otway, Sisters, The Fly, Choice Market, Mekelburg's, Guevara's, Clementine, and more), Wegmans, Pratt Institute of Art, and the interesting happenings at the Navy Yard.
