Ideally situated on one of Fort Greene’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this impeccably restored townhouse offers nearly 4,000 square feet of elegant interiors and curated design that exemplify timeless Brooklyn sophistication. Step into the dramatic parlor level, where 11-foot ceilings adorned with intricate plaster details and molding soar above exquisite herringbone wood floors, and oversized windows bathe the space in radiant light. The formal living room centers around a stately wood-burning fireplace with the original marble mantel, framed by original, restored crown moldings. Pocket doors with original glass panes reveal a grand dining room beneath an ornately plastered ceiling and complete with a decorative fireplace.
