Property Description for 159 Carlton Ave, B

Boasting over 2000 square feet of living space on two floors, this sprawling Fort Greene duplex offers fantastic space in a fabulous location-just one block from Fort Greene Park! With a lofty main floor featuring 12' ceilings, a spacious living room with a WOODBURNING FIREPLACE, a suburb-sized open chef's kitchen, a large dining area, three bedrooms, two-baths and a family room, this sprawling apartment checks all the boxes.

A handcrafted custom armoire helps create an impressive entrance while providing wonderful closet space. The large chef's kitchen centers around the massive island, complete with seating for four. Renovated with Caesarstone counters, GE Profile stainless steel appliances, and storage and counter space galore, the kitchen opens onto a spacious dining area which seamlessly flows into the living room. The home is truly an entertainer's delight! A built-in desk sits conveniently next to the kitchen creating the perfect home office area. With a wood-burning fireplace, its easy to imagine cozying up and relaxing on an autumn night in the inviting living room. The adjacent bedroom is remarkably spacious with a walk-in closet that leads to the full bath, featuring a deep soaking tub and modern finishes and fixtures.

Downstairs on the lower level you'll find the expansive family/rec room. With a wall of built-in, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and shelving providing amazing storage, a ton of room to relax, play or work, this flexible space is what so many of us dream of! Two remarkably spacious bedrooms sit off the family room, each over 20 feet deep with exposed brick and custom closets. Also on the lower level is the stacked washer/dryer and the second full bath. With a deep tub, an extra-large vanity, and floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile, this roomy bathroom feel spa-like and luxurious.

One of 12 units in the converted Feuchtwanger Stables-a landmarked Romanesque Revival building built in 1888-- near the best of everything that Fort Greene has to offer including the farmer's market, Brooklyn Navy Yard, City Point shopping center, and BAM, and surrounded by great restaurants, bars, cafes and shops in all directions, the location is second to none! Pets welcome. (Please note, while currently used as a three-bedroom home, this property's legal description is as a one-bedroom with lower rec-room.)

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.
