Pre-War Sun-bathed 1 bedroom! Perfect pied-a-terre!
Welcome to Apartment 5J in Francine Towers at 277 Washington Avenue - an elegant Pre-War building located in Prime Clinton Hill on a gracious tree-lined block. This pre‑war elevator building exudes timeless charm.

Step into the gracious foyer and be drawn into the open living and dining area, where soaring ceilings, exquisite basket‑weave hardwood floors, and original trim and picture moldings set a classic tone. Sunlight pours in throughout the day along with verdant views of the Pratt Institute campus.

The serene bedroom easily accommodates a king‑sized bed, dresser, and a cozy workspace, while the windowed bathroom delights with a cast‑iron soaking tub and elegant herringbone‑tile flooring. The recently renovated kitchen is equipped with brand-new cabinetry and appliances. Storage is plentiful, with a cedar closet in the foyer and a private basement unit.

Francine Towers is a lovely, well-maintained elevator building that provides a laundry room, a bicycle room, PT Super, and live-in porters. Come spring, the cherry blossoms on either side of the entrance burst into bloom—pure magic.

Located within the Clinton Hill Historic District, you’re within reach of cafes, shops, Pratt’s campus, and Fort Greene Park, complete with its Saturday farmers’ market and the vibrant BAM Cultural District. Commuting is seamless with G and C trains nearby, plus Citi Bike stations and bus routes.

Local culinary highlights include celebrated spots like Sailor, Roman’s, Evelina, and Theodora. New offerings at the Navy Yard—such as a ferry terminal, Russ & Daughters, and Wegmans—add to the neighborhood’s appeal.

Neighborhood Info:

Clinton Hill, Brooklyn

When it comes to Brooklyn neighborhoods, Clinton Hill is a gem. Celebrated for its diversity of people, restaurants, and proximity to Fort Greene Park and to the BAM Cultural District, Clinton Hill caters to Pratt Institute students, ambitious professionals and long-term residents alike. Artsy but not over-the-top and cool but not unapproachable, this laid-back neighborhood deserves its amiable reputation. Enjoy 2 of my favorites:  happy hour at Brooklyn Public House on DeKalb Avenue or the earthy atmosphere of Putnam's Pub & Cooker on Myrtle Avenue.
