657 East 26th Street, 5V - The Clinton House
There is a particular kind of apartment that Brooklyn buyers spend years looking for - one where the prewar bones are intact, the light is generous, and the scale feels like a home rather than a compromise. Residence 5V at The Clinton House is exactly that.
Set on the fifth floor of this beautifully maintained Art Deco elevator cooperative, the apartment offers a sense of proportion that is increasingly rare at this price point. The layout flows naturally from a gracious entry through a dedicated dining area - a true luxury in today's market - into a spacious living room anchored by east-facing windows that draw in light from late morning through the afternoon.
The updated kitchen faces south, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. With new appliances, including a brand new dishwasher, and plenty of counter space, it is both functional and inviting - a kitchen that works as hard as the rest of the apartment.
The primary bedroom is genuinely oversized, comfortably accommodating a California king with room to spare. The second bedroom is perfectly sized for a child's room, guest room, home office, or creative studio. Prewar details throughout give the apartment a warmth and character that newer construction simply cannot replicate.
The Clinton House is a sought-after cooperative on a quiet, tree-lined block in Midwood, offering a manicured courtyard, serene garden, modern card-reading laundry room, basement storage, a bike room, and a live-in super and porter. Cats permitted.
The B/Q at Newkirk Plaza and the 2/5 at Flatbush Junction are both within a short walk, putting Lower Manhattan approximately 30 minutes away. Brooklyn College, the Brooklyn College Performing Arts Center, and a robust retail corridor - including multiple grocery stores, Target, HomeGoods, and Pure Gym - are all nearby.
