277 Washington Ave

A six-story, 35-unit pre-war cooperative built in 1905 and located in central Clinton Hill. The Romanesque-style elevator building retains period details—high ceilings, hardwood floors, arched windows and classic bathroom tile—alongside modest modern updates. Unit mix is dominated by one-bedroom layouts, many corner or top-floor homes with multiple exposures and windowed kitchens; several units include entry foyers, generous closets (including occasional cedar), private basement storage lockers and soaking or cast-iron tubs. Common areas and services reflect a neighborhood-minded, full-service coop: part-time doorman coverage, a live-in superintendent/porters, two elevators, laundry room, bicycle room and on-site storage. Exterior amenities include a building garden and courtyard plus small private outdoor spaces attached to select units. The building permits pets, allows pied-à-terre ownership in some listings, and in many cases supports flexible purchase arrangements such as guarantors or limited subletting (board approval required). Located one block from Pratt Institute and a short walk to Fort Greene Park, the building sits within a landmarked Clinton Hill streetscape of 19th-century mansions, cafes, cultural venues and multiple subway lines, offering a walkable, village-like Brooklyn setting.
