This three-bedroom Clinton Hill duplex offers a chance to live in a circa 1850 Italianate mansion on a lovely stretch of Clinton Avenue. It’s in the former Galilee Baptist Church at No. 447, which after a long abandonment and decline, was renovated and converted into a handful of rental apartments about a decade ago.

No quick flip job, the renovation won a pair of prizes, the listing notes: the Clinton Hill Historic Society and Preservation Award and the Building Brooklyn Award.

This one’s a lower duplex with three exposures, a side entrance and a private yard in the rear. It’s got some nice original detailing that was preserved in the renovation: note the original banister and newel post, the arched door and window casings, the grand living room with its wainscoting, marble mantel and glorious arch-framed bay windows. There’s exposed brick and new wide-plank oak floors.
