The language in the listing for this Clinton Hill townhouse is a bit over-the-top and nonsensical: "A lot of the time the loudest thing you will hear will be the trees whispering through the breeze." (Usually it's the wind that whispers, but you're not likely to hear it on a NYC street). Still, it is a lovely limestone on a street lined with stately buildings, and trees, of course.
