Property Description for 256 Carlton Ave

The bookend of seven Italianate houses built 1866 on one of Fort Greene's most desirable Landmarked blocks, 256 Carlton Avenue is a grand, well-preserved 3-family 21.5x48' house on a 100' lot spanning approximately 4,200 SQFT. Above its rusticated base and ample stoop, find an intact entry and double parlor resplendent with original detail: mantels, pocket doors, wide plank wood floors, uninterrupted moldings, floor-length windows, pier mirror and 13' ceilings. Configured as a garden-parlor duplex with two full-floor apartments above, this brownstone has the potential to create a substantial single family home or upper triplex with a garden rental. This home could also become a high income producing rental property in its current configuration (please request a setup). Well maintained by its longtime owner and having already undergone a landmark approved facade restoration, this home is delivered vacant and ready to be restored to its original grandeur. In the heart of the Fort Greene Historic District, 256 Carlton Avenue is proximate to the neighborhood's sundry amenities: Fort Greene Park, acclaimed restaurants along DeKalb Avenue, BAM, Barclays Center and quick transport to Manhattan. Off-street 24/7 luxury parking is available for purchase as well.

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.
