A renovation by MADE adds colorful style to a $13M Cobble Hill townhouse

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. But the brick-fronted Brooklyn residence achieves icon status with a stem-to-stern renovation by celebrated architecture firm MADE, which added a vibrant color palette to design-showcase interiors while preserving the home's history. 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.

Brooklyn townhouse living is long past being a well-kept secret, so when you find a ready-to-move-in home in a neighborhood like Boerum Hill, you can expect it won't be a bargain. But having a charming, renovated single-family home like the one at 363 Warren Street, ready from day one, might just be worth the $3,995,000 ask. With a classic brownstone facade and a large, landscaped multi-level rear deck and yard, the four-story home is both historic and timeless.
