"The two-family presents an opportunity for a new owner to remove some later alterations, restore period details, and make some design upgrades. The estate condition row house contains plenty of typical Italianate details worth restoring."
"On the exterior, No. 29 still has its stoop, lintels, and a Neo-Grec cornice intact. A look at the LPC records shows that there are some outstanding violations from 2008 for the replacement of windows and the front door without permits."
"In the entry, the original staircase with its newel post is still in place, surrounded by a modern checkerboard tile floor. An arched doorway leading to the front parlor has lost its similarly arched doors and the flooring is a patchwork of carpet and parquet."
The two-family brownstone at 29 Clifton Place, built in 1876, presents an opportunity for restoration and design upgrades. It features typical Italianate details and some Neo-Grec elements. The exterior retains its stoop, lintels, and cornice, though there are outstanding violations for unpermitted window and door replacements. The interior includes an original staircase, moldings, and a carved stone mantel, but many details have been painted over. The layout consists of a duplex and a top-floor apartment, previously used as a multi-generational residence.
