04 Waverly Avenue | Clinton Hill, Brooklyn


A Rare Historic Carriage House Directly Across from Underwood Park

Own a piece of irreplaceable Brooklyn history. 304 Waverly Avenue is a true carriage house — one of only a handful still standing in New York City — set on one of the most storied blocks in the Clinton Hill Historic District. Built circa 1910, this two-story residence sits on a 26 x 55-foot lot and offers approximately 1,820 square feet of above-grade living space with an additional 365-square-foot unfinished basement, bringing the total usable space to roughly 2,185 square feet.

Step inside to find a thoughtfully laid-out home with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private elevator, and a dramatic top-floor family room spanning over 22 feet wide — a scale and openness almost unheard of in brownstone Brooklyn. The generous kitchen, sun-drenched living spaces, and original architectural character throughout speak to a property that has been cherished, not just maintained. A private indoor parking garage — a nearly extinct luxury in this part of Brooklyn — completes the picture, offering a level of convenience that most city dwellers can only dream of.

What truly sets this home apart is its setting. Positioned directly across from the entrance to Underwood Park — Clinton Hill’s beloved tree-lined green space — you enjoy a front-row seat to one of the neighborhood’s most coveted views. The park, named for typewriter magnate John Thomas Underwood, provides a rare sense of openness, light, and tranquility that no new construction can replicate.

Waverly Avenue’s carriage houses date to the late 19th century, originally built to serve the grand mansions of Clinton and Washington Avenues. Today, they are among the most sought-after residential properties in all of Brooklyn — architectural gems that simply cannot be built again. This block was landmarked as part of the Clinton Hill Historic District in 1981, ensuring its character endures for generations to come.

A private elevator. Indoor parking. A historic carriage house. Directly on the park. Steps to the C and G trains, Pratt Institute, world-class dining along DeKalb and Myrtle Avenues, Fort Greene Park, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Properties like this do not come to market — they come once in a generation.
