Property Description for 26 South Portland Ave
FINAL OPEN HOUSE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
TUESDAY JANUARY 13TH 12pm-1pm.
Once you walk down Fort Greene's coveted South Portland Avenue, you will immediately understand why Time Out NY voted it the best block in New York City. Serene and tree-lined, this corridor has the most beautiful brownstones that Brooklyn has to offer. It's very rare that a South Portland townhouse comes on the market, however, the opportunity to own one has just arrived.
This 4000 SF townhouse consists of a two BR owner's duplex, plus three rental units. Its dimensions are 20' x 50'. The duplex has an island kitchen with a dining area, a master bedroom with an en suite and one and a half additional bathrooms. The living room has 12' ceilings with a medallion, crown molding, a marble gas fireplace, pocket doors and large floor to ceiling windows. The second bedroom has French doors that provides access to the garden.
Each of the rental units are quite charming and will rent immediately. Upon entering the apartments, you will get the impression that the tenants have cherished their homes. Two of the units have one bedroom, while the third has two bedrooms. All three of the tenants have leases that expire in May 2015.
At the foot of South Portland Avenue is Fort Greene Park, where Brooklynites go to play soccer, tennis, jog, enjoy outdoor concerts, meet friends and walk their dogs. The neighborhood has a plethora of restaurants to brunch or dine within, the beloved Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Flea, a weekly flea market with a vast selection of vendors. As for transportation, the 2/3/4/5/C/G/N/R/Q/B/D trains will transport one to Manhattan within minutes, while the Long Island Railroad, grants easy access to Jones Beach or The Hamptons for a weekend getaway during the Summer.

Fort Greene | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Conveniently situated just north of the beautiful and lush Prospect Park, Fort Greene is rich with history. Representative of an aesthetic that Brooklyn is often associated with--the brownstone and row house architecture being an institution of the community--Fort Greene is decidedly singular in visual style. As part of the National Register of Historic Places, this South Brooklyn neighborhood offers unique charm and plenty of character.
Beginning with its early military-oriented inception (the territory was central to the Battle of Long Island), Fort Greene has always been recognized for its spaciousness and a sense of openness. Filled with nature and greenery, it is also home to its very own eponymously named park in addition to being in close proximity to Brooklyn’s largest recreational area, Prospect Park (containing the beloved Prospect Park Zoo within it).
Many residents come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and commute to their workplaces in Manhattan, while keeping Fort Greene as their separate haven. The diversity of the area has proven to be one of the few examples of a Brooklyn neighborhood maintaining its roots in part thanks to its protected status.
