Each of this home's two bedrooms offer generous closet space. Pets are welcome upon board approval in this 5-unit co-op. Bikes are allowed to be stored in the basement and you get to control your own thermostat in this home as well.

Ultra-desirable Fort Greene location! Just 2 blocks to Fort Greene Park and its Saturday farmer's market, tennis courts, playgrounds, and much more. Short commute to downtown and midtown Manhattan via your choice of 11 nearby subways. Come by to visit and see for yourself why Fort Greene is such a great place to live.
