Plan to add garage to 149 Clinton St. in Brooklyn Heights
Eye on Real Estate
Garages are an oh-so-coveted amenity in brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods.
The new owner of 149 Clinton St. in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District plans to build one beside his five-floor brick house.
First the city Landmarks Preservation Commission must sign off on his plan.
The house stands on a corner lot with a side yard. There’s a garage door on the Schermerhorn Street side of the property, but no garage behind it.
Designs drawn up by Joseph Vance Architects and submitted to the preservation agency show a new single-car garage and call for the replacement of the existing garage door and the addition of a new brick parapet wall and stone coping above it.
