Description
Originally built in 1911 by a physician who used the ground floor as his medical office, the house was constructed with a specific type of brick and mortar, chosen to support the Virginia Creeper Ivy that elegantly drapes its exterior. That same level of intention is evident throughout the home today.
Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet, the current layout includes a finished English basement and three gracious levels above, plus four separate studio spaces-each with a private entrance-including one perched above the garage. These ancillary spaces were once part of the doctor's office, maid and service quarters, but now offer great flexibility of use. Inside, the main floor unfolds with an elegant parlor, a generously sized dining room, a warm and inviting kitchen, and a richly appointed billiard room. The living room is a true great room-grand in scale, yet intimate in feel-with original casement windows, shutters, intricate crown moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors. Western light bathes the space in golden afternoon sun.
The formal dining room is equally impressive-spacious enough for large gatherings, yet still full of charm, with original leaded-glass-front built-ins and classic wood paneling. Just beyond, a wide center staircase crowned with leaded glass windows guides you to the upper floors.
The billiard room is a showstopper, lined with windows on two sides and anchored by a built-in bookshelf, it's a space that feels lifted from another era-one made for leisurely afternoons and good company.
The kitchen offers a harmonious blend of old and new. Overlooking the garden, it features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom wood cabinetry-all chosen to honor the home's architectural roots while delivering modern functionality.
Upstairs, the second floor offers a flexible layout. A family room (easily converted back to a bedroom) connects to a sunlit library and windowed office overlooking the lush gardens. At the front of this floor, a spacious bedroom with an en suite bath and ample closets serves as a serene retreat.
The top floor, currently used as a sprawling primary suite, includes two large bedrooms-one with a dramatic skylight-another en suite bath, and access to the roof over the rear extension, where adding a private deck would be effortless.
Downstairs, the English basement provides even more versatility, with a powder room, abundant storage, and space ideal for a home office, home gym, or second library.
Throughout the home, timeless details abound-rich woodwork, beautiful original floors, and four exposures that flood the interior with natural light. The four detached studio spaces, including the garage loft, create endless possibilities for creative use.
Perfectly positioned just a block and a half from the C and G trains, 431 Washington Avenue is moments from the cultural and culinary richness of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene-Fort Greene Park, BAM, and countless shops and restaurants.
