450 Clinton St

A four-story cooperative conversion of a mid-19th-century Neo-Romanesque church, this 12-unit building occupies a prominent Carroll Gardens corner. Built in 1856 and converted to co-op ownership in the 1980s, the property retains ecclesiastical character in restored elements such as oversized arched windows, domed and vaulted ceilings, and steeple spaces repurposed into distinctive apartments. Unit mix skews toward studios and one-bedrooms, with several multi-level and loft-like layouts that take advantage of high ceilings and original window openings. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, recessed lighting, eat-in kitchens with granite or Caesarstone counters, and generous storage — including private basement storage for each residence. Shared spaces include a long, landscaped private garden with mature trees and lawn, a laundry room with industrial machines, bicycle storage, and an elevator providing access to upper floors. The building is pet-friendly, permits pied-à-terre ownership and sublets with board approval, and occasionally offers rentable underground parking. Financially, the co-op has historically maintained low monthly charges and has managed assessments tied to mortgage payoff in the past. Located steps from Carroll Street F/G service and the retail corridors of Court and Smith Streets, the property is embedded in a neighborhood of parks, schools, and notable restaurants.
