At 25 feet wide with five stories and a separate garden flat, the 1884 late-Italianate-style townhouse at 234 Clinton Street would be a dream home for just about anyone.

Asking $12,995,000, details like pale mint green stairs, a modern kitchen clad in emerald tiles, and a top-floor studio make this one of the neighborhood's most exciting offerings.
