Description

Right around the corner from Fort Greene Park, 96 South Portland Avenue, apt 5 is an oversized one-bedroom, a one-bath gem that can easily be converted into a two-bedroom. Nestled in a quiet, landscaped courtyard, this charming apartment features a rare combination of pre-war elegance and modern amenities. Facing South and overlooking historic neighborhood buildings, a wall of windows filters Southern light throughout the day. There is a wonderful separation of space between living/dining room and the rest of the home, connected through original arches. The bedroom is spacious and inviting, with City Quiet windows recently installed. Other amenities include Bosch washer/dryer, a skylighted bathroom, and a lovely breakfast nook alongside the kitchen. 96 South Portland Avenue is an 8-unit boutique cooperative with a flexible sublet policy. Steps to BAM, Barclay's, and local favorites Fradei, Olea, Head Sounds Records, Greenlight Books, and much, much more. Transit couldn't be more convenient with the G at Fulton, and the C train at Lafayette Avenue. Proximity to Atlantic Terminal makes weekend jaunts to the beach a breeze, or stay home and enjoy the bustle of one of Brooklyn's best neighborhoods from atop your perch!
