About the building
263 Clinton Street is a four-residence brownstone cooperative with a 25-foot frontage and a building depth of approximately 46 feet. The extra frontage gives its floor-through apartments more width across the street-facing rooms than the narrower row houses common in the neighborhood. Four stories rise above the entrance on Clinton Street, within the Cobble Hill Historic District. Its protected exterior includes the brownstone street frontage and the house's relationship to the surrounding row.
The apartments include two-bedroom floor-through layouts with a living area and open kitchen toward the street and bedrooms looking over the rear gardens. High ceilings retain the proportions of the original house. Renovated homes have central air conditioning, in-unit laundry and additional bathroom space. The rear outlook is over the block's interior gardens; garden views do not themselves confer use of outdoor space. The limited number of apartments means there are few repeated layouts to choose among when a home becomes available.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00307-0008) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
Four households support a wide historic house. The cooperative's exterior repair costs are shared across a very small ownership group. Brownstone work must also satisfy the historic district's requirements, making the allocation of façade and roof expenses consequential when a project comes due. Share allocations set each apartment's contribution; four households doesn't mean four equal shares of the cost.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
