About This Home
Introducing 208 Vanderbilt Avenue, a rare architectural gem in the heart of Fort Greene - a modern 22-foot wide, 4 story single-family residence seamlessly designed as both a private home and a working artist's studio. With soaring proportions, thoughtful flexibility, and stunning natural light, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect canvas for inspired Brooklyn living.
Anchored by a dramatic double-height great room, the home exudes openness and light. A floor-to-ceiling glass wall frames the peaceful, serene garden, offering a tranquil escape and effortless indoor-outdoor flow -- ideal for both creative work and refined entertaining.
The layout is exceptionally versatile, with potential for multiple bedrooms, dedicated offices, and studio/flex spaces that can easily adapt to your lifestyle. Whether you need a live/work setup, a private gallery, or room to grow, this home provides the space and scale to accommodate it all. Every detail has been curated with both design and function in mind, from the concrete kitchen to white porcelain mosaic-tiled bathrooms, to custom storage and gallery-ready walls. Above the great room is a book-lined bedroom retreat, and the third floor features a dramatic mezzanine level framed with skylights - the perfect library, study, or additional creative zone. Up the sculptural stair is the fourth floor office, creative space or bedroom and sky-lit bathroom. Modern systems include central air conditioning and radiant heated floors.
This remarkable property sits just moments from Fort Greene Park, BAM, Pratt, and many of Brooklyn's best dining and shopping destinations. 208 Vanderbilt offers a rare blend of privacy, presence, and possibility - a true sanctuary in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods.
