Spanning three floors, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, front and back gardens, and a playroom, this Clinton Hill home could offer a big family a taste of the suburbs on a lovely Brooklyn block. Listed by Stribling for $8,750 per month, the prewar frame house has benefited from some recent renovations, and may be the perfect spot to test-drive living in the neighborhood without committing to buying.

On the first floor, an entry foyer off the front porch (which has a southern vibe) leads you into the sunny living room, which opens onto a spacious dining room and then a den—just try to keep kids from running back and forth in here. The upgraded kitchen, which leads to the backyard, looks fresh and bright with white countertops and backsplash, and includes additional pantry space and a wine fridge.

On the second floor, you'll find three of the bedrooms; the master includes a dressing room, walk-in closet, and recently remodeled, sunny en suite bath. The other two bedrooms, of equal size, each have large closets and share an additional full bathroom.

On the top floor, you'll find another bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath, as well as a large office area that could be used as another bedroom or guest room. Outside are the side and backyards, which the previous homeowners have already set up with a vegetable garden. The listing also notes that on the basement level, you'll find the playroom, along with storage space and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. And if all this space isn't quite enough, the home is about equidistant from Fort Greene and Prospect Parks, meaning no shortage of options for catching some sun this summer.
