309 Vanderbilt Avenue je klasična i povijesna četverokatnica u Neo-Grec stilu, smještena u primarnom Clinton Hill/Fort Greene. S ulice izgleda kao trokatnica, ali je četvrti kat pomaknut unatrag, pa se ne može vidjeti s ulice. Izgradila ga je 1877. godine investitor Benjamin Linikin, a ima klasične vanjske detalje poput visokog stepeništa, ogromnih dvostrukih vrata, okruglih otvora i zabatnih elemenata na ukrašenim nosačima. Ova obitelj je vlasnik više od 50 godina, sve je u dobrom radnom stanju i dobro je održavano. Unutra se može pronaći mnogo izvornih arhitektonskih detalja, mnoge sobe imaju mramorne kamine i dimnjake (nefunkcionalne). Unutrašnjost je sačuvana kao što je bila 1877. godine, svi detalji su ostali: vrata u dnevnoj sobi, detalji stropova u obliku vjenčanog tarta od žbuke, sva originalna ulazna vrata i unutarnja vrata, te rukohvati na stepenicama, da spomenemo samo neke. Neki od originalnih svjetiljki datiraju iz vremena prije električne energije i bili su na plin. 309 se koristio kao obiteljska kuća, iako je pravno dvojna. Bilo bi lako koristiti ga kao dvjesto obitelji i stvoriti najam na prvom katu. Zgrada mjeri 18,7 x 45 stopa, a zemljište je 85 stopa. Smjestaji je otprilike 3200 unutarnjih četvornih stopa s 4 spavaće sobe i potencijalnom 5. spavaćom sobom, 3 kupaonice i velikim stražnjim dvorištem. Prvi kat je razina vrta i ima službenu blagovaonicu i veliku kuhinju s prostorom za objedovanje, s vratima koja vode u vrt. Kuhinja ima ogroman otok i dovoljno mjesta za stol velikih dimenzija, također vrijedi spomenuti i veliku ostavu. Blagovaonica je s prednje strane i gleda prema Vanderbilt Avenue, a ima i mramorni kamin. Postoji mala, ali kompletna kupaonica pored kuhinje s tušem. Drugi kat je kat dnevne sobe koji ima prednju i stražnju dnevnu sobu. Obje imaju mnogo periodnih detalja s raskošnim detaljima stropova od žbuke, ogromnim kliznim vratima i ukrašenim detaljima, dva mramorna kamina (ne rade) i okrenute su prema istoku i zapadu. Treći kat ima tri spavaće sobe i kupaonicu u hodniku s klasičnom kadom na nožicama u stilu Waterworks, s kromiranim tušem i kišnicom. U pravom viktorijanskom stilu, umivaonici i sudopere od mramora su odvojeni od kupaonice u hodniku i nalaze se na svom izvornom mjestu, u hodniku iza kupaonice. Ako netko želi redizajnirati kupaonicu i proširiti/ reorganizirati je, postoji nekoliko ormara koji se naslanjaju na kupaonicu, što čini redizajn prilično pristupačnim. Četvrti kat ima veliku kupaonicu s pločicama i prozorom s tušem i spavaću sobu okrenutu prema istoku. Postoji potencijal za 5. spavaću sobu/igraonicu/kancelariju u prednjoj sobi s kosim stropom koja se koristi kao potkrovlje. Iako je strop šiljast zbog ranije spomenutog pomaka, ima krovni prozor i lako se može pretvoriti u spavaću sobu, ured ili igraonicu. 309 se nalazi na jednom od najidealnijih blokova, usred između Dekalb ave i Lafayette. Blizu je svega, uključujući trgovine, prodavaonice i poznate restorane u tom području. Također je vrlo blizu povijesnog Fort Greene Parka i svih vikend aktivnosti poput Farmers Market-a.

309 Vanderbilt Avenue is a classic & historic four story Neo-Grec style brownstone located in Prime Clinton Hill/Fort Greene. From the street it looks like a three story but the top floor is set back so it cannot be seen from the street. Built in the 1877 by the developer Benjamin Linikin, it has the classic exterior details such as a high stoop, enormous double doors, round-arched reveals, and pediments on incised brackets. Owned by this family for over 50 years, everything is in good working order and has been well maintained. There are tons of original architectural details in the interior, Many of the rooms have marble mantles & fireplaces ( nonworking).The interior reads as it was in 1877, all the details remain: parlor pocket doors, wedding cake plaster ceiling detail, all the original entry way doors and interior doors, and stairway bannisters to name a few. Some of the original light fixtures date back to before electricity and were gas. 309 has been used as a single family although it is a two family legally. It would be easy to use as a two family and create a first floor rental. The building measures 18.7x45 feet and the lot is 85 feet. Size wise it is about 3200 interior square feet with 4 bedrooms and a potential 5th bedroom, 3 baths and a large rear yard.The first floor is the garden level and has a formal dining room and large eat in kitchen with a door to the garden. The kitchen has an enormous island and plenty of room for a large sized table too and also worthy of note, a huge walk in pantry. The dining room is in the front looking out to Vanderbilt Avenue and has a marble mantel fireplace. There is a small but full bath off the kitchen with a shower. The second floor is the parlor floor which has a front and rear parlor. Both have lots of period details with lavish plaster ceiling detail, huge pocket doors and fretting, two marble mantel fireplaces (not working) and face east and west. The third floor has three bedrooms and a hallway bathroom with a classic Waterworks-esque clawfoot bath tub with a chrome exposed shower and rainhead. In true Victorian fashion, the marble topped vanities and sinks are separate from the hallway bath and are in their original location, the hallway behind the bath. If one wanted to redo the bath and enlarge,/reorganize it, there are several closets that back onto the bath, making a redesign pretty accessible. The fourth floor has a large tiled and windowed bath with a shower stall and an east facing bedroom. There is the potential for the 5th bedroom/playroom/office in the sloped ceilinged front room used as an attic. While it has a peaked ceiling as a result of the aforementioned set back, It has a skylight and could easily converted into a bedroom, office or playroom. 309 is located on one of the most ideal blocks, midway between Dekalb Ave and Lafayette. It is close to everything including, shopping, stores, and the areas reknown restaurants. It is also very close to the historic Fort Greene Park and all the weekend activities like the Farmers Market.
