Transport yourself to the French Provencal countryside at 112 Washington Avenue.

This spectacular three-family, twenty foot wide, brick townhouse in Clinton Hill, with custom designed owner's duplex and two, 2- bedroom, 1-bathroom market rate rental units, is ideal for either an end user or a savvy investor.

Owner's Duplex (unoccupied):

The moment you enter Unit 1, you know you're in for something special. Greeted by sun from both Eastern and Western exposures as you enter the dining area, the Parquet Versailles, oak wood floors--imported from the village of Macon, France--draw you in, along with the first of several immaculately restored decorative fireplaces. Ahead of you, the sprawl of the parlor floor with its kitchen and living room beckons. Just to your right, you'll find a nearly invisible door that leads to the most charming powder room you could imagine, replete with whimsical designer wallpaper, brass fixtures and a vintage sink.

The wall of mullioned windows and doors at the opposite end of this level--recreated to copy those found in Provence--pull you toward the white and spacious kitchen. An enormous Corian island anchors the room with its deep sink and abundant cabinetry and drawers--all custom made by a cabinetmaker in Quebec--and has ample room for entertaining family and friends. The work space features a stainless steel countertop and another deep sink along with top-of-the line appliances: Gaggenau refrigerator and 5-burner gas stovetop range with vented Zephyr exhaust; a Sub Zero double drawer freezer built into the island; and a Bosch oven, multi-use microwave, and dishwasher.

Flowing into the grand and wide living room that includes another decorative fireplace, the call of your country-like oasis beckons. Open the door to the wide terrace that overlooks your landscaped backyard and enjoy your morning coffee or an after work glass of wine. Head down the stairs (along with your garden partygoers) and onto the pearly pea gravel with abundant room for dining table and chairs and loungers and take in the rear of the yard. It's a gardener's paradise with boxwoods and blooming trees and shrubs.

Access the lower level of the duplex from the patio doors or head back inside and down the interior staircase. The primary bedroom is something to behold, with its beamed wood ceilings and custom designed bed and nightstands and walk-in closet (all by the same Quebecois craftsman). Mullioned doors and windows line the wall and allow you to wake to the sounds of songbirds in the yard. A magnificent walk-in closet has built-in dressers, shelves and hanging areas and is lined with White Lotus-worthy wallpaper.

Right outside, you'll find the jaw-dropping primary bathroom with its restored, freestanding vintage tub, glassed-in shower stall and vintage sink--all with brass fixtures and designer lighting. The imported Moroccan Popham-designed tile floors are a magical indigo with vanilla-colored stars.

Down the hall is the other full bathroom with gorgeous wallpaper and another color scheme of Popham tiles, along with a soaking tub and shower and an extra-long vintage farm sink with brass fixtures.

The second bedroom is no less special than the primary, featuring decorative fireplace, a built-in custom made wall of closets and storage, along with a storybook perfect craftsmen designed set of bunk beds and a wall lined with a Pierre Frey tapestry.

Not to be overlooked is the basement level, with a charming finished and designed rec room--ideal for a play room, home studio or entertainment room--along with a brand new LG washer and dryer as well as the building's mechanical systems.

Separate zoned Nest system for cooling and heating; built-in speakers; Legrand switches, outlets and dimmers throughout; round out this ideal duplex.

Rental Units (Tenants in place):

Both units 2 and 3 are well-designed and maintained 2-bedroom and 1-bathroom, floor-throughs. They each feature central heating and cooling, oversized windows, stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher) and each has a stacked washer and dryer. Unit 2 also includes a very large decked terrace. (Videos of each available by request)

The building also has a very nice roof that could easily be decked to add to the value of the rentals.
