Description

This lovingly restored 5-story, 2-family 1880s townhouse in a perfect Fort Greene location has recently been remodeled with careful attention to detail and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Boasting an original mahogany center staircase, four fireplaces (two of which are wood-burning), inlaid hardwood floors, original plaster moldings, oversized double-hung windows, custom built-ins and central A/C, the upper-level owners' quadplex offers approximately 3,000 sq. feet of flexible living space. With recently renovated full bathrooms and an updated cook's kitchen, this charming home is currently configured with 4 well-proportioned, bright bedrooms (flex 5 or 6 beds possible), 3 full baths and 2 half baths, plus a den/home office/library flex room and/or additional bedroom option. Direct access off the open, parlor-level kitchen leads to the private deck with an extra-deep landscaped yard. The oversized, modern, eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry throughout, Caesarstone countertops, a center island with an overhang for stools, a subway tile backsplash, high-end stainless-steel appliances from Bosch, double ovens with a separate cooktop, floor to ceiling windows and generous amounts of storage and counter space. Enjoy immediate rental income from the market-rate, one-bedroom, garden-level apartment with separate entrance, or take over the whole house to create nearly 3,700 square feet of personal living space plus basement storage. Conveniently situated on a charming, tree-lined block in the dynamic neighborhood of Fort Greene, this home is just a short distance from Atlantic Terminal Mall, Barclays Center and the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, Q, and C subway lines. (Some of the bedroom shots are virtually enhanced with furniture.)
