Welcome to 110 Clinton Avenue #2B, quite possibly the most charming and thoughtfully designed studio in Clinton Hill. With exceptional storage, a renovated bathroom, a queen-size Murphy bed, and a private deck, this home offers a level of functionality and comfort rarely found in a studio apartment.
The open living space is centered around a decorative fireplace with a marble mantel, creating a warm focal point for the room. Soaring 10-foot ceilings and two oversized south-facing windows flood the apartment with natural light and enhance the sense of openness. A separate alcove provides the perfect spot for a home office, or could easily be enclosed to create an additional closet and even more storage. Lovely hardwood floors add to the character and charm.
Custom millwork can be found throughout the home, including an entry closet and a hydraulic Murphy bed cleverly integrated into a wall of built-in storage. Thoughtful details abound, from the pull-out bedside table tucked into the cabinetry to the pullout hooks inside the front closet for coats and bags. Just outside the bathroom, a generously sized walk-in closet features floor-to-ceiling shoe storage and tons of space for hanging and folding. There is even a deep storage space above the door.
The renovated bathroom is finished with custom tilework, a substantial vanity offering excellent storage, and a distinctive undermount Kohler Artist Editions Derring Design sink. The kitchen is impressively spacious for a studio, with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch range, Bosch dishwasher, and a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator.
Just beyond the kitchen, a private deck provides a welcome outdoor retreat. Whether you're tending to plants, enjoying your morning coffee, or unwinding with a glass of wine at the end of the day, it's a wonderful extension of the living space.
The well-maintained co-op also features a common laundry room with a free washer and dryer. Each apartment has its own gas-fired boiler and water heater. Ideally located just moments from Myrtle Avenue's vibrant collection of restaurants, cafés, and everyday conveniences, the building is also a short distance from the G train at Lafayette Avenue.
The house was built around 1870 by William E. Bird, owner of a local ironworks business. His son, also William E. Bird, later became a prominent New York City wine importer. The Bird family originally owned six lots surrounding the property. While the architect has never been definitively identified, it is believed the home may have been designed by Ebenezer Roberts. One of the earliest newspaper references to residents dates back to 1870, and the building remains a handsome example of Italianate architecture.
