Description
Built in 1899, this handsome 22-foot wide brownstone on a 100' lot sits just half a block from Fort Greene Park, on one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque tree-lined streets. With timeless curb appeal and an unbeatable location, 294 Carlton offers a rare mix of character, scale, and possibility—ready for its next chapter. Currently configured as a three-family, spanning four stories plus a full cellar, this legal four-family property offers over approx 3,100 square feet of interior space and plenty of flexibility. Whether you're dreaming of converting it into a grand single-family residence, creating an elegant owner’s triplex with income-producing units above, or maximizing value as a high-performing investment, the options are all on the table. The home is filled with original details, including multiple fireplaces, crown moldings, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and a stunning decorative skylight. Soaring ceilings and generously proportioned rooms provide the ideal canvas for a thoughtful renovation. And with potential for an additional 1,474 square feet of buildable FAR (per Property Shark, buyer to verify with their architect), there's even more room to grow. What truly sets this home apart is its proximity to Fort Greene Park, just a few doors down. Access to green space, combined with the neighborhood's best restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions, makes this location hard to beat. The property is move-in ready as-is, offering a buyer the option to enjoy it now while planning for the future. It's a rare opportunity to create a forever home without compromising on location, space, or character. With the right vision, 294 Carlton can easily become a showpiece single-family home or a luxury condo conversion in one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after enclaves. Whether you’re looking to design your dream home or bring a historic beauty back to its original glory, this is the kind of property that doesn't come around often. Could this be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for? Let’s talk..
