Embrace your Brooklyn Brownstone life in this Historic & Rare 21 foot wide Fort Greene Italianate brownstone on a Historic & Land Marked block. Available for the first time in decades, it was Built in 1880, and has tons of original details such as an entry way stoop, decorative marble fireplace mantels ( that can be made into wood burning fireplaces), mahogany stairways, inlaid floors, historic entry way doors and on the exterior, an intact original carved wood cornice at the roofline. The townhouse is set up as a garden rental and an upstairs triplex that has 5 bedrooms, an office and a bath on each floor. The parlor floor is perfect for entertaining and modern living, it is a double parlor, with floor to ceiling windows looking across the tree lined street. It has two marble fireplace mantels and the heavy sliding parlor doors are there too with unusual and ornate door pulls. The kitchen is in the rear extension with lots of counter and prep space plus there is a large pantry. The kitchen is easily expanded into the dining room for additional space. For access to the garden, there is a door to the good sized deck that's great for drinking coffee in the morning. The garden is huge measuring over 40 feet in length, has a slate patio and two large trees. Heading upstairs, The third and fourth floor have five very large bedrooms and an office plus tons of walk in closets. Most of the bedrooms have marble mantles and one bedroom has the original washstand marble sink,(not working). The third floor has a hallway windowed bath with a modern shower and a glass enclosure. It easily can become a primary suite with a deck on the extension roof.The top floor has a stunning round skylight in the hallway over the stairs creating a beautifully lit stairwell. And the fourth bath is also a hallway windowed bathroom with a tiled tub/shower combination and a washer drier. You have several options with the house; you could redo the entire place and create your own vision. Or on the other hand, because the house has been well maintained ie its mechanicals are in good condition, it could be lived in by its new owners.

It is located between Fulton and Hanson place and it is a very quiet block as it is one way. Taxes are about $12,000. And it does have a Certificate of Occupancy.
