One of Clinton Hill’s carriage house rows is the cluster of mostly single-family homes on Waverly Avenue between Greene and Gates avenues in Clinton Hill, built in the 1800s to serve the tony mansions of the area’s many Gilded Age notables. The former carriage house at 433 Waverly Avenue has more recently been used for television productions while occasional providing movie stars with temporary homes away from home.

The home is spacious at 22 feet wide with three stories and a cellar. It is presently configured as a two-family dwelling, with a two-bedroom unit on the ground floor and a generously proportioned two-bedroom duplex on the top two floors.

Notably, there is ample parking in the interior garage and a private street parking spot.

The interior is luxuriously appointed, with fixtures, fittings and surfaces from Waterworks, Baldwin and Urban Archaeology. The doors in the house are reclaimed 19th century doors that have been outfitted with matte-nickel hardware.

The floors are bamboo and the stair treads and window detailing are Indonesian rosewood. A full bath on the second floor has green majolica tile and limestone floors, as well as a 5-foot-long cast iron soaking tub and an exposed matte-nickel shower and faucet.

The kitchens are equally luxurious and well appointed; features include a six-burner Wolf stove, a Waterworks titanium farmhouse style sink, a wine cooler and French limestone counters.

The building’s original life as a stable is evident from the exposed original pine beams, exposed brick walls and round rings in the wall where the horses were tied.

Outdoor areas include a private roof deck fashioned of ipe wood and a garden with patios made of slate and ipe.

The home is close to the Clinton-Washington Avenue stop on C train and within walking distance of Barclays Center, the Atlantic Terminal LIRR station and Fort Greene Park.

Listed by Kathleen Perkins of Douglas Elliman, the home is asking $4.8 million with monthly taxes of $350.
