Backhouse is situated one block from the historical Fort Greene Park. Enter through the grand parlor level which boasts ornate original details, vaulted ceilings with classical crown moldings, two elegant marble fireplaces, original pocket doors, hardwood floors and oversized bay windows overlooking the spacious garden.
