Clinton Hill Parlor Unit With High Ceilings, Fancy Plaster, Garden Asks $4,500 a Month

The rent is not exactly low, but this one-bedroom in the Clinton Hill Historic District does have some attractive features, including spacious rooms, a carved wood mantel and a well-equipped kitchen. It’s on the parlor floor of a circa 1868 brownstone with soaring ceilings and fancy plasterwork.

There is a long and spacious front parlor with wood mantel with dark red tile. The rear parlor has a bay window and impressive decorative plaster details. An extension houses the kitchen and bathroom, a floor plan in an old listing shows.

There are two closets and a stacked washer/dryer. A petite metal deck with stairs down to a backyard can be seen in a photo in another old listing. The garden is not shared with any other unit, according to the listing.

Listed by Dan Chen and Andre Mastrogiacomo of Corcoran, the apartment is priced at $4,500 a month — a $550 increase over the $3,950 it was asking in 2021. Worth it?
