Property Description for 268 Cumberland Street, 4-B
Welcome to one of the most magical spaces you will find in Fort Greene. The Classic Modern boasts exquisitely finished apartments with unique architecture and a small building community.
Enter through a cozy private entryway of this 4th floor walk-up to a sunlit living room that is made even more expansive by one of two large outdoor spaces that is easily accessed by large, dual sliding doors. The luxurious kitchen boasts quartz counter tops and a Carrara marble center island for entertaining and working on your favorite recipe. As you enter the first bedroom, what comes to mind is the perfect balance of modern and classically historic. The hardwoods, woodwork, and windows are elegant and inviting. The spa-like bathroom is on the first floor with stunning modern features such as a deep Lacava sink, stone counter tops, and an extra-large soaking tub that steals the show!
The second floor is accessed by a wide, wrap-around staircase with storage ingeniously built in to the steps. The bright and open second bedroom has gleaming hardwoods and built in storage that is made even more perfect by the large private terrace accessed by sliding glass doors with spectacular views of the historic Ft. Greene church spires and downtown Brooklyn skyline. The additional room upstairs is bright and cheerful with room to be an office, entertainment room, or ensuite space.
268 Cumberland 4B is in the perfect location, one block south of Fort Greene Park and two blocks from either the Lafayette Ave (C) or Fulton St (G) subway stations. Ft Greene is listed on the New York State Registry and on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a New York City designated Historic District. Fort Greene contains many examples of mid-19th century Italianate and Eastlake architecture, most of which is well preserved. It is known for its many tree-lined streets and elegant low-rise housing.

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.
