About This Property
On one of Fort Greene’s most coveted brownstone blocks, just nine houses from the park, this distinguished 1864 Italianate brownstone with soaring floor-to-ceiling parlor windows presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn history and reimagine it for modern life.
The 20-foot-wide home sits on a generous 100-foot lot across four stories plus cellar and is currently configured as two duplexes. The large, west-facing fenced backyard is open, free of obstructions, and enjoys excellent sunlight. Original details abound, including the entry vestibule, gracious stairs and banister, period moldings, original fixtures, and a parlor floor graced by two matching marble mantels that speak to the home’s 160-year legacy. The façade remains in excellent condition, offering a strong canvas ready for transformation.
This is a great opportunity to create your dream single or two-family home with an incredible backyard in the best location Fort Greene has to offer. Bring your architect and contractor and shape every detail around your vision. The Certificate of Non-Harassment has been issued.
Fort Greene Park is just outside the front door, and the view from the stoop is spectacular. The park is also home to beloved weekend farmers and artisan markets, and subway access puts downtown Manhattan just ten minutes away.
Bring your vision. The foundation for something extraordinary is already in place.
