ONE OF A KIND 19TH CENTURY, 2-FAMILY IN PRIME FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN
Showing by Appointment Only. Buyers must provide Proof of Funds or Pre-Approval
Located on charming Fort Greene Place, this 21-foot-wide, two-family home sits on a 100-foot deep lot, and features a large and tranquil garden, sizable rooms with original detail, and multiple fireplaces.
Currently, this well-proportioned home is configured as a two-family residence. You can tailor and modernize the lower duplex apartment into an impressive and large two-bedroom apartment, replete with historical accents and charm, while keeping the upper levels as a separate investment. Or, this is your chance to turn a historic and vacant townhouse into a single-family dream home!
The lower duplex apartment is ideal for entertaining. The garden level has two-full baths and a den featuring a large hearth and separate pantry that open onto a paved patio and the verdant back garden. The front bedroom has a fireplace, walk-in closet and en-suite bath. The stair hall is a charming entry, and has a full-sized bath privately situated in the back end of the hallway.
The parlor level is graciously configured as two generously sized parlor rooms with 11-foot ceilings. A full kitchen with bay window is in the rear and opens to a screened porch with access to the garden. Original details flourish - with windowed pocket doors, crown moldings, and two fireplaces - perfect for restoration to create an elegant and updated space.
The upper level is accessed through the main entry hall and presently houses a four bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment featuring generous dimensions and five walk-in closets. A private two-room living area with eat-in kitchen and spacious living room occupy the third floor. There is a full bath and cozy bedroom or home office off the dramatic stair hall. The fourth floor has two king-sized bedrooms with another cozy bedroom, and a full bath off the hall.
The full-sized basement, accessed through the garden level can be finished to your liking, with the potential for a club room, storage rooms, and laundry. Presently, the unfinished basement is open and ideal for storage. Easily accessed at the very bottom of the stairs is the laundry room with utility sink, washer, and dryer. The water heaters and boilers are housed in a separate room.
Live on a quiet, charming, and historic block in the center of it all! Fort Greene Park is just two blocks north and Atlantic Terminal is one block away with the B, Q, 2, 3, 4, 5, D, N, R and LIRR, as well as the at C at Lafayette and G at Fulton.
There are so many possibilities for this home - with some love and attention, opportunities abound!
