Property Description
388 Washington is a rare offering found on the architecturally significant Washington Avenue in the Clinton Hill Historic District. This 7000 square feet neo-Grec style brownstone was designed by Amzi Hill in 1879 for prolific developer Bernard Fowler. This extraordinary mansion is 24 45 feet deep with a 27-foot extension on three floors and sits on a 107-foot lot. Inside you will find two exceptional homes: A 3,100 square foot three-bedroom three- and one-half bath lower duplex and a 3800 square foot four bedroom three- and one-half bath upper triplex. Perfect for a live and invest lifestyle with the ability to collect a substantial rent from either property. The lower duplex last rented for $9,200 per month. The upper triplex has never been a full-time home and is in near perfect condition.Throughout the two homes, you will find reclaimed antique chestnut and oak flooring, an array of custom European millwork including kitchen cabinetry, vanities and medicine cabinets and ingenious fully built-out closets and storage solutions. Both homes have the ultimate chefs' kitchens with Venetian marble countertops, commercial grade BlueStar gas ranges with Viking hoods, Liebherr refrigerators and Bosch dishwashers. The luxurious bathrooms contain Duravit, Toto and Bola fixtures with custom cement and ceramic tiles. The primary bath of the triplex is replete with large format cement walls and an imported freestanding sculptural tub.

The dramatic lower duplex is 45 ft deep with soaring ceilings, six oversized windows and three exposures that provide an abundance of light.

The extension on the parlor floor houses the 5 windowed kitchen that overlooks the private garden area. On the lower level there are three graciously sized bedrooms with en-suite baths.At 3800 square feet, the upper triplex is itself a townhouse in the sky. It begins with a one-of-a-kind multi-level triple parlor with the kitchen in the extension.
