Property Description for 157 Willoughby Ave

A landmarked, legal two-family townhouse built in 1885 in the Clinton Hill Historic District oozing with beautiful original detail. With an angled bay and three south-facing windows complete with their original shutters across the front, this special home features radiant sunlight all day long. The owner's triplex is comprised of four beautifully proportioned bedrooms (all the entire width of the house) and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Each voluminous floor features ceiling heights ranging from 9’8” to 10’5”. Just off the eat-in kitchen, a deck leading to a large, landscaped garden awaits. Rich wood and plaster moldings, original fireplace mantles, exposed brick, and dramatic details are throughout. With its own separate entrance, the one-bedroom garden rental provides a reliable income opportunity that simultaneously maintains your privacy. Several core updates have been made recently including a split, ductless air system and a new sewer main. Situated on a lovely, quiet block, 157 Willoughby Avenue is within a short walk of the gorgeous Pratt Institute main campus, some of Brooklyn’s hottest restaurants and a plethora of shopping options on Myrtle and Dekalb Avenues, Fort Greene Park, and the C and G trains.

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.
