Clinton Hill Co-op With Renovated Kitchen Asks $825K

"The prolific Cohn Brothers designed two brick buildings for developers the Clinton Construction Corp. The complex extends through the block to Vanderbilt Avenue with a shared courtyard in the center. The red brick buildings have some Colonial Revival details like arched windows with keystones, corner quoining, and the building entrance on Clinton Avenue sports pilasters and a canopy with dentil molding. Plans were filed in 1940 and construction wrapped in 1941."

"This unit has largely kept its 1940s layout as seen in the original floor plan, with the living room off the foyer and a short hall leading to the bedroom on the other end of the unit. The foyer, which is large enough for a desk or a piano, as shown in the listing photo, has arched doorways and a wood floor that extends into the living room."

"Sliding glass doors have been added to the renovated kitchen, closing the space off from the foyer, but allowing light to enter the cooking space. There are white cabinets, a blue tile backsplash, and the appliances include a petite dishwasher. The hall to the bedroom includes three closets while the fourth is in the bedroom itself. The room has two exposures, a wood floor, and the concealed radiators noted in the brochure."
