Description

Perched on the top floor of a quintessential Fort Greene brownstone, Residence 4 is a bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offering sunny exposures in every direction, 10’+ ceilings, a thoughtful separation of space, and access to a private roof. In April, a magnolia tree blooms just outside the living room window—an unmistakable reminder of the neighborhood’s charm. While the home was originally delivered as a three-bedroom, it's been reconfigured by the current owner as a spacious two-bedroom.

The home opens into an expansive living and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Oversized windows draw in abundant natural light and frame leafy treetop views from neighboring gardens. Beautiful hardwood floors and the room’s generous proportions create an airy, loft-like feel, comfortably accommodating multiple seating areas and a proper dining space. The living area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where ample cabinetry, generous counter space, a central island, and top-tier appliances by Sub-Zero, Capital, and Bosch offer a layout that is both functional and inviting.

The primary bedroom is privately positioned at the western end of the home and features a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with double sinks and a soaking tub. On the opposite side, the second bedroom enjoys soft eastern light and includes its own walk-in closet, with a full bathroom conveniently located just adjacent. This room was comfortably divided into two bedrooms in the original plan for the building. Laundry facilities are also located toward this end of the home.

Above the residence, a full private roof spans the footprint of the home, the entirety of which was just completely replaced, offering exceptional potential. Whether envisioned as a landscaped retreat, an outdoor dining area, or a quiet escape, the space presents a rare opportunity to create a truly special extension of the home.

Situated on a picturesque Fort Greene block, the residence is moments from Fort Greene Park and the Atlantic Terminal–Barclays Center, offering access to numerous subway lines and the LIRR. Fulton Street and DeKalb Avenue are just around the corner, home to some of Brooklyn’s most beloved dining destinations including Miss Ada, Theodora, Sailor, and Roman’s. Neighborhood favorites like Hungry Ghost and Bittersweet are close by, along with Whole Foods Market and The Greene Grape.

With its blend of architectural beauty, vibrant culture, and everyday convenience, Fort Greene-- and especially Fort Greene Place --remains one of Brooklyn’s most complete and compelling destinations.
