Built in 1859, 343 Adelphi Street is a stunning Neo-Grec two-family brick and brownstone townhouse located mid-block on one of the most charming streets in historic Fort Greene. The house has been fully-renovated, meticulously restored and curated by the owners with museum-quality finishes and fixtures dating from the Civil War era. Set back from the sidewalk with a planted and extra-deep front yard, the house is currently configured as an owner's triplex over a large, income-producing 2BR garden apartment. The apartment is used as an AirBnB earning $1600/week but can easily be opened into the triplex for use as a large single-family with a guest suite. The home's fabulous kitchen is inside the home's two-story extension and features a SubZero 36" refrigerator, a Viking 6-burner stove with a grill and pot-filler, and a Miele dishwasher. The kitchen is finished with slate counters and loads of storage space inside custom wood cabinetry. Outside the kitchen is a grilling deck with access to the east-facing rear garden, complete with a koi pond and fountain, and mature plantings of Dogwood and Fig trees, Viburnum, Holly, flowering quinces, and climbing roses. There is central AC on the top two floors and a split system on the parlor level. The top floor is configured as two large, connected offices with a midnight kitchen and a bonus room. Sunny and quiet, it is ideal for an office or recreation room, yet can be easily returned to two large bedrooms by replacing the wall. The entire house is structurally sound and updated from the cellar to the roof with no open permits. The staircase is original with replaced risers and treads, its mahogany inner doors are all re-built, and features four working wood-burning fireplaces with period-specific mantels. The furnace, roof, stoop, and sidewalk have all been recently replaced and restored. There are 11-foot ceilings on the parlor floor and high ceilings throughout house. The location cannot be beaten. The house sits at the center of the Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill Historic District. It is surrounded by all the conveniences and amenities that make this one of the most desirable and charming neighborhoods in Brooklyn. A foodie paradise, some of the best food spots in Brooklyn are a short stroll away in every direction. Supermarkets, cultural venues, friendly cafes, and lounges are everywhere. Atlantic Barclays Terminal with 11 local and express trains and the LIRR is three short blocks away, providing rapid access all over NYC. Barclays Center and BAM are within blocks. Historic Fort Greene Park, with its tennis courts, dog runs, running and hiking trails and farmers' markets are two blocks away. Townhouses with restored original details are increasingly difficult to find in Fort Greene. This lovely and valuable home is a rare and exceptional opportunity to own your own piece of Brooklyn history.
