Description

Built in the late 1890's by Pratt to be used as a boarding house, this spacious, semi-detached Brownstone is an amazing opportunity to live in a piece of history in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. With over 2,500 sqft of total space, the building is zoned as a 3 family townhouse, and has been used as a one family home for over 30 years. This well preserved dwelling boasts beautiful original details throughout the house, including a working fireplace, hardwood floors, wooden stair railing, and exposed brick giving it endless character and charm. The fully renovated eat in kitchen on the first floor warmly welcomes you with fully functional wood burning fireplace and exposed wooden beams. Outfitted with top of the line stainless steel appliances, ample counter space and plenty of cabinets, it's a beautiful space to relax for your daily meals, a cup of tea, or to entertain friends. You might even invite your guests to join you on the back deck just off the kitchen, or enjoy a quiet breakfast there, overlooking the plush backyard. Japanese maple trees, lilies and strawberries are just a few of the delicious delights to behold and partake from this extensive outdoor space. You can also access your private backyard from the fully finished basement where you have an extra space to do with what you wish, complete with a kitchenette, bathroom, and laundry room, as well as additional storage. The wooden staircase running through the center of the home takes you up to the 2nd floor featuring high ceilings, a spacious living room and a bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom. Large windows let in plenty of natural light and provide a peaceful view overlooking the backyard. As we finish our ascent to the final floor, the stairwell opens up to light flooding in from the skylights above. Here we find the large master bedroom, and a sweet, cozy bathroom featuring a claw foot tub, both with internal windows overlooking the staircase that give the feeling of being outside. There is another well sized back bedroom here, too, as well as tons of additional closet space, since it was once used as a boarding house. Come see for yourself what unique possibilities await to make this your new home! We've included some virtually staged photos to get you started.
