Welcome to 96 Ft. Greene Place, situated in prime Fort Greene, this showpiece presents the extremely rare opportunity to live in a turnkey townhouse dripping with original detail found only in the most exquisite homes in Brooklyn and painstakingly updated to meet all modern standards.

Expertly renovated and restored, this 22’ wide light-flooded brownstone built approximately 1853 is a masterpiece of Italianate architecture standing a grand 4 stories plus basement, with 5+ bedrooms and 5 ½ bathrooms. The home is a legal two-family, currently configured and updated as a single-family of oversized proportions.

Enter up the stoop through the original double doors into the magazine-worthy parlor sitting room with soaring 11’ ceilings and herringbone laid wood flooring featuring perfectly restored ornate plaster moldings and original marble working fireplace, adjacent dining room also with a marble fireplace, perfectly intact original decorative trim, as well as a conveniently located powder room. The parlor has previously been the backdrop for ad campaigns and productions by Bon Appetit, British Vogue, and Anthropologie Home.

At the rear of the parlor level is the spectacular kitchen with 10’ wide marble island, oversized windows, 48" Smeg range with double ovens, a double-drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, and wine fridge.

Enjoy al fresco dining off the kitchen overlooking the immaculately maintained garden from the steel deck covered in Ipe wood with custom retractable Parisian style awning. The deck also offers access to the perfectly manicured yard featuring brand new turf, stunning planter boxes, blue stone patio off the garden level, and most notably, the Scandi-style cedar clad hot tub.

Upstairs on the 3rd floor is the extra-large primary suite with 3 massive windows, separate seating area and ensuite bathroom of classic marble and brass details along with a giant walk-in closet. Toward the rear of the 3rd floor is another oversized bedroom with access to the hallway bathroom finished with simple white tile and a bathtub.

The 4th floor has two additional oversized bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other with access to a separate hallway bathroom also with classic white subway tile and original clawfoot tub. The top floor also features a 5th bonus bedroom that is currently being used as a suburban-sized, windowed, walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The main laundry room for the home is also found on the 4th Floor.

Finally, the sprawling garden level underwent a recent transformation to function as an extension of the primary living space (rather than a separate rental unit) with a kitchen at the rear, a newly renovated bathroom with washer/dryer, and an oversized great room perfect for lounging or as a separate suite with private, garden level entrance for guests as well as easy access to the stone patio and backyard.

The home retains an abundance of original detail including the most exquisite plaster moldings, grand staircase, decorative woodwork and wainscoting, wood shutters, wide-planked original pine flooring on the top two floors, and 6 fireplaces with marble mantles throughout, yet has been completely overhauled and renovated with new wiring, ductwork for the four-zone heat and AC system, new plumbing, restored original plaster, original wood floors repaired and stabilized, all new custom windows, full exterior renovation in front and back, repointing in the garden entrance and cellar, restored ironwork, new bluestone in front and backyard, new roof and all new mechanicals.

Located in one of the most sought-after and coveted neighborhoods in all of Brooklyn, Fort Greene known for its ultimate beauty, is a cultural hub and home to BAM, BRIC and Mark Morris as well as Ft. Greene Park and Atlantic Terminal with 9 subway lines and one of the easiest commutes to Manhattan along with some of the best dining and retail in the entire borough.
