Listing Notes
Welcome to 71 Clara Street, a sun-drenched, three-story semi-detached brick townhouse that masterfully blends classic Brooklyn character with thoughtful, contemporary renovations, including multi-zone split-unit air conditioning and smart-lock entry. From the moment you arrive, the planted front terrace sets the tone: a true outdoor living space framed by vibrant seasonal plantings and a bold navy front door that announces something special awaits inside. The generously sized main floor, with beautiful white oak floors, flows effortlessly from a spacious living room to a stylish dining area and a chef's kitchen featuring grey shaker cabinets, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a dramatic matte black tile floor. Just off the living room, a dedicated office with floor-to-ceiling French doors opens to verdant treetop views, offering an inspiring work-from-home sanctuary that feels a world apart from the city. Upstairs, a skylit hallway leads to a serene primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms, all served by a beautifully appointed full bath with white subway tile and cobalt hex floors. The finished lower level, equipped with a full-size Samsung washer and dryer, adds exceptional bonus living space comprising a recreation and media room, a bonus room that could be used as a bedroom, and a bathroom. The sun-soaked, ivy-draped rear deck is a private retreat of lush wooden decking, while a garage currently used as an artist's studio adds remarkable versatility to an already spacious living arrangement. Situated on one of Kensington's most picturesque, tree-canopied blocks quiet with little through traffic and free of mid- to high-rise buildings 71 Clara Street sits within a neighborhood celebrated for its architectural beauty, diverse community, and thriving independent restaurant and caf scene along Church Avenue. The F and G trains are minutes away for an easy Manhattan commute, and Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect Park are just around the corner. This is a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own a complete Brooklyn home with outdoor space at every level. Reach out for a tour today!
