Description

Located in the heart of the Fort Greene Historic District, this one bedroom, one bath duplex, currently configured as a two bedroom, blends historic charm, flexible living space, and private outdoor living in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods. The highlight is the private backyard with a stone patio and landscaped garden. A true urban oasis and a rare find in Fort Greene. Perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or hosting friends. The main level features hardwood floors, a bright living area with a decorative mantle, and an open kitchen with clean white cabinetry, streamlined appliances, and an efficient L-shaped layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The bedroom showcases exposed brick, adding warmth and character. The renovated bathroom features bold green tile and modern finishes. The lower level offers a spacious den currently used as a primary bedroom. With exposed beams, a brick fireplace, custom closets, and a separate entrance, this flexible space can function as a guest suite, home office, or media room. This boutique building consists of just three units, offering an intimate and well maintained setting. Moments from Fort Greene Park, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and neighborhood favorites like Miss Ada, Walter’s, and Olea, the location captures the best of Brooklyn living. The C and G trains are nearby, and Atlantic Terminal provides access to multiple subway lines and the LIRR for convenient commuting. A rare opportunity to own a garden duplex in the Fort Greene Historic District with flexible living space and private outdoor access. Please note, pictures have been virtually staged.
