234 Clinton Street, a historic 1884 Italianate townhouse in Cobble Hill, is listed for $12.995 million, more than double its previous selling price. The expansive 5,500-square-foot home, formerly housing four families, has been reconfigured into two units—a garden apartment and a spacious owner's suite. While it features luxe appliances and polished original elements, it distinguishes itself with bold colors, like parsley-green and checkerboard tiles, chosen by the owners for their personal residence. This design approach, emphasizing individuality, contrasts sharply with common renovation trends that rely on muted color palettes.
The work is by MADE, a Red Hook-based shop that seems to specialize in the quiet luxury of architecture - homes with dull façades that hide showy interiors.
Broker Nick Gavin describes the use of color in this townhouse as 'the opposite of this townhouse formula that you're seeing certain architects do again and again.'
The owners chose the bold color palette intentionally, as they were planning to live in the home themselves, not simply as a flip.
234 Clinton Street, an 1884 Italianate townhouse, showcases uncompromising shades of color that challenge conventional brownstone renovations often dominated by more subtle palettes.
