Location! Location! Location! A rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained townhouse on one of the best blocks in Fort Greene! This four-story, one-family townhouse has seven bedrooms and two baths. It has been in the same family for nearly sixty years and is located on a park block in the landmark district! This home is an estate and is in estate condition. It has original details throughout including all original plaster moldings, marble mantels, original woodwork, pocket doors, oversized windows, wide pine plank floors on the fourth floor, original staircase, back-porch and hard wood floors. This property originally had a front porch and a wood shingle facade similar to the neighboring property and the facade was changed in the 1950's. The front garden level entrance has the original iron gate and the facade can eventually be transformed back to it's original historic condition. The back of the property offers an oversized garden and has amazing potential. Wonderful Eastern facing facade and a Western facing backyard. The rubber roof and water heater were installed in 2008. The new boiler was installed last summer. This home is half a block to Fort Greene Park, and is close to 12 subway lines including the Long Island RR, restaurants, cafes, shops, and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Will not last.
