Property Description for 162 Washington Park, 2

Welcome to your Brooklyn dream home in Fort Greene offering the best of all worlds - stylish brownstone living with private yard in a renovated condominium with low monthlies on prime park front property - why not have it all? With over 1000sf of interior square footage and 660sf of private outdoor space, this is a rare and unique opportunity to own a spacious and character-filled 1BR/1.5BA brownstone condo duplex in a prime location right on Fort Greene Park. Located on one of the most coveted, charming and picturesque brownstone blocks - this property is quiet and tranquil, with abundant natural light, an incredible volume of space, and unique charm. The first floor of the duplex features a massive living room with a decorative fireplace, 10’ ceilings and three over-sized (nearly 8’ tall) East-facing windows overlooking the lush greenery of your own private garden. The duplex features hardwood floors throughout, exposed and whitewashed brick walls, and decorative moulding, all with an abundance of closet and storage space. Just off the entry hall there is a perfect home office nook, a large double-wide coat closet, as well as a full bath. The renovated bathroom features a classic aesthetic with a contemporary touch, a porcelain pedestal sink, vintage floor tile, and a walk-in shower. Framed by a semi-round arched opening, the farmhouse chic kitchen opens onto the living room with white Shaker-style paneled cabinetry, butcher block counter-tops, a double sink with garbage disposal, full sized GE appliances, polished nickel hardware, and a large pantry closet. A wonderful entertaining space, the open style kitchen and abundance of living room space allows for a dining area and the perfect setting for dinner parties or a place for friends and family to gather. The lower floor of the duplex is currently used as a king-sized master bedroom suite. Equal in scale to the floor above - this garden level oversized bedroom has three large closets, under stair storage, a renovated half bath (with potential to convert to full bath), an in-unit washer dryer, two half windows and door access to the private outdoor space. From the master suite one accesses the pièce de résistance of this property - your very own 660sf private yard. Basked in sun, the two-tiered lush outdoor space is a gardener’s dream fitted with blue stone pavers, mature trees, and a perimeter garden with an irrigation system. Quiet and serene, the abundant outdoor space allows for outdoor dining, grilling, lounge area, and more. Originally built in 1885 and converted to condominium in 2004, 162 Washington Park is a well maintained 17’ wide brownstone condominium with 5 residences located directly across from Fort Greene Park. Located in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods, you have convenient access to multiple subway lines (C/G trains in closest proximity, but also easy access to B/Q/2/3/4/5/LIRR at Atlantic Terminal and a multitude of other lines nearby), a plethora of restaurants and shopping nearby on DeKalb and Myrtle, as well as Trader Joe’s, Wegman’s, Whole Foods, and the weekly farmer’s markets all within walking distance.

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.
