About This Home

As of December 2018

The bookend of seven Italianate houses built 1866 on one of Fort Greene's most desirable Landmarked blocks, 256 Carlton Avenue is a grand, well-preserved 3-family 21.5x48' house on a 100' lot spanning approximately 4,200 SQFT. Above its rusticated base and ample stoop, find an intact entry and double parlor resplendent with original detail: mantels, pocket doors, wide plank wood floors, uninterrupted moldings, floor-length windows, pier mirror and 13' ceilings. Configured as a garden-parlor duplex with two full-floor apartments above, this brownstone has the potential to create a substantial single family home or upper triplex with a garden rental. This home could also become a high income producing rental property in its current configuration (please request a setup). Well maintained by its longtime owner and having already undergone a landmark approved facade restoration, this home is delivered vacant and ready to be restored to its original grandeur. In the heart of the Fort Greene Historic District, 256 Carlton Avenue is proximate to the neighborhood's sundry amenities: Fort Greene Park, acclaimed restaurants along DeKalb Avenue, BAM, Barclays Center and quick transport to Manhattan. Off-street 24/7 luxury parking is available for purchase as well.
