234 Clinton Street

In the heart of Cobble Hill, this magnificent 25-foot-wide Italianate townhouse captures the quiet grandeur of Brooklyn’s most coveted historic blocks. Reportedly built circa 1884 from a design by architect Fred Lockwood, the home presents the kind of architectural presence rarely replicated today: a high stoop, handsome double doors, decorative entry pilasters, and distinctive stained glass that speaks to the craftsmanship of another era.
Spanning approximately 5,500 square feet, the residence was thoughtfully updated and configured as a grand four-story quadruplex above a two-bedroom garden rental or guest suite. The scale is immediately felt. Wide proportions, historic detail, and flexible living space create the feeling of a private townhouse compound in one of Brooklyn’s most established residential enclaves.

Historic townhouses demand more than standard brokerage.

As the selling agents, Brandon Bogard and Bogard New York helped connect this rare Cobble Hill Italianate townhouse with the market through design-led positioning and luxury real estate expertise.
