411 Classon Avenue, Clinton Hill, , BROOKLYN, NY 11238

Owing to its central location in northwestern Brooklyn, Clinton Hill is almost unfathomably close to neighborhoods that would otherwise feel relative worlds apart. But its proximal position is merely a bonus: Clinton Hill's lush, brownstoned blocks attract on their own terms. Traces of the past help to create a captivating present. Clinton Hill’s coveted 19th-century rowhouses span many architectural styles, including Beaux-Arts, Italianate, and Neo-Grec. Multiple façade arches and a two-story oriel window make the Queen Anne-style Lincoln Club an absolute head-turner. There’s even a collection of winsome freestanding mansions on Clinton Avenue, some of which connect to the industrialist Charles Pratt, founder of the eponymous Pratt Institute. Playing host to Pratt, an internationally-recognized institution for art and design, adds all the more to the neighborhood's good looks and leafy environs.
