Top-Floor Brownstone Charm in the Heart of Clinton Hill

Old-world character meets Brooklyn authenticity in this sunny, top-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence located in a landmark brownstone on one of Clinton Hill''s most picturesque tree-lined blocks.

Unit 4 at 280 Saint James Place features a classic floor-through layout with high ceilings, tall windows, and true architectural warmth-including a wood-burning fireplace and an oversized skylight that floods the living and dining area with natural light. The apartment offers a peaceful, pin-drop quiet ambiance, with generous closet space and pre-war proportions.

This is Brooklyn brownstone living at its most genuine-full of texture, character, and calm. While the interiors lean traditional and show some age, they offer a lived-in elegance and room to make it your own. Shared laundry is available just next door.

Located just off the Fulton Street corridor, 280 Saint James is surrounded by the best of Clinton Hill: cozy cafes, iconic restaurants, boutique shops, and easy access to A/C and G trains. You're a stone's throw away from neighborhood favorites like Aita, Locanda Vini e Olii, Sisters, and so much more-making this not just a place to live, but a place to be part of something truly local.
