Two-bedroom loft in Clinton Hill is for sale for $1.5 million

Located in a 1920s industrial building, this apartment complex features high ceilings, two bedrooms, and a bonus storage loft. The building at 110 Clifton Place, on the corner of Classon Avenue, has been known as the Ping Pong Building since it was converted into housing in the 1980s.

The developer who bought the land in 1981 chose the name after noting that the building was occupied by a sporting goods company, but it was originally built to manufacture shoe lasts. Plans for the building were submitted in 1922 and show it was a small-scale project by architect and engineer William Higginson, who also worked on many industrial buildings in Dumbo and the Bush Terminal complex. The building was built by Turner Construction Company, a leading Brooklyn builder of reinforced concrete structures. The application describes the Clifton Place building as a three-story reinforced concrete and brick factory being built for the United Last Company. Although the windows have been altered, tax photos from around 1940 show the basic shape of the building has remained the same.

This unit features an open floor plan with a central living, dining and kitchen. The bedrooms are located on either side of the living space. There are wood floors and baseboard heating throughout.

Mushroom-shaped columns in the main living space give it a slightly industrial feel, and large windows line one wall. The remodeled kitchen features blue up-and-down cabinets, adding a pop of color to the white walls, and a marble-topped island offers bar seating.

The smaller of the two bedrooms has an en suite bathroom and two closets, and there's additional storage space in the loft space, but it appears to only be accessible by ladder.

While there is no in-house laundry, there is an in-building laundry, a rooftop deck, an elevator, and a live-in manager. Maintenance fees for this apartment are $1,514 per month.

When the property first hit the market in 1989, The New York Times reported that two-bedroom units were priced between $149,000 and $185,000, with maintenance fees of around $360.

Corcoran's Meris Blumstein, Sidney Blumstein, Harriet Kaufman and Madeline Leibowitz are marketing the property, with the apartment listed for $1.5 million. What do you think?
