Description

In the heart of Fort Greene, a half a block from Fort Greene Park, this inviting one-bedroom apartment on South Portland Avenue (voted the best block in all of NYC in 2006 by Time Out NY) features a private garden oasis out the back door. On the garden-level of a beautifully maintained, 25' wide, five-story, nine-unit brownstone, this apartment offers great space with an open floor plan and large bedroom. Shoji screens in the living room mask a wall of great storage including built-in bookshelves, the wall of reclaimed wood "wallpaper" and dark-stained wood floors give the apartment a Zen-inspired feel. Free laundry and storage is one-flight down in the basement. Located near everything-- multiple subway lines, the park, the weekend Farmer's Market, all the shopping and restaurant of Dekalb, Fulton and Lafayette, BAM, and he Brooklyn Flea, the location cannot be beat. Pet friendly too! First showing at the open house on October 16th.
