Description

Charming townhouse in Prime Fort Greene, 2 blocks from Fort Greene Park.


Newly renovated and updated with all new mechanicals, while keeping the classic charm of a townhouse. Beautiful original hardwood pine floors that have been brought back to its original glory, marble fire place mantle, and skylights that flood this 4 story townhouse in natural light. 4 large bedrooms that each fit a king size bed with nightstands, with a legal bedroom/living room on the ground floor with an office space overlooking the garden, and exposed brick walls. The impressive master bedroom features high ceilings with windows looking over the roof and skylights, and direct Downtown Brooklyn Views from the bedroom windows.


The garden is an oasis in itself, beautiful evergreens with facing a wall of vines, with a reading nook with access from the ground floor or through the terrace on the 1st floor kitchen. Basement has been gutted and cleaned out, it has a washer and dryer, and is a good space for extra storage.


Direct access to the roof with views of Downtown Brooklyn, with possibility to build a roof deck.


1,900 sq.ft of all livable square footage with no wasted space, stairway also designed to take up minimal space plus a 428 sq.ft basement and a beautiful 485 sq.ft garden and a terrace 12x5ft, not added in the square footage.


Fort Greene, known for its beautiful brownstones and tree-lined streets is also a transportation and cultural hub. Barclays Center, BAM, & Mark Morris Dance Center are just down the street along with Atlantic Center which offers 9 subway lines, the LIRR and a plethora of major stores and markets. The Q train on Dekalb Avenue station is only 1 stop to Canal Street! The C train at Lafayette & the Fulton G trains are just a few blocks away as well. Restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and artisanal shops abound in this lively neighborhood, and if its outdoor activity your after, Fort Greene Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux is a true Brooklyn treasure.
