Property Description for 159 Carlton Ave, 2-C

This architecturally designed loft will most surely impress you with its dramatic original details, grand proportions and modern-industrial character. Located in the heart of Fort Greene in the converted Feuchtwanger Stables, a landmarked Romanesque Revival building built in 1888 and designated by the National Register of Historic Places, this apartment welcomes you with its 12 foot ceilings and sprawling open living plan. The enormous exposed wood beams, iron garters, cast iron column and exposed brick are just a few of the architectural details that make this home so unique. A striking wood-burning fireplace designed with unidirectional steel and bluestone mantle/hearth plus a wall of west-facing windows complete this must-see home. Currently configured with two bedrooms and a home office with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, the raised, Zen-like master bedroom area has a sunken bed and wall-to-wall, custom built-in cabinetry for fantastic storage. The raised platform bedroom creates a massive amount of storage below. Other highlights include a wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding acrylic doors, gorgeous birch flooring with hand-placed maple accents, and a spacious bath with an adjacent walk-in closet. Washers and dryers are allowed in the unit and this 12-unit condo building is pet friendly too. Near the best of everything that Fort Greene has to offer including Fort Greene Park and the farmer's market, the Brooklyn Flea, Pratt and many restaurants and shops, the location is great!
Additional features of this property include: Exposed Beans and Columns.

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.
