Property Description for 268 Cumberland Street, 4-B

A sun-filled two-bedroom duplex with two terraces, flexible bonus space, and breathtaking views just steps from Fort Greene Park. After passing through a private entry foyer, one immediately notices natural light pouring through floor-to-ceiling glass doors of the living room leading to a terrace with layered views of lush treetops, classic Brooklyn townhouses, and the skyline of Downtown Brooklyn. The open-concept living space includes a chef’s kitchen equipped with quartz countertops, a marble island, ample cabinetry, stylish open shelving, and stainless-steel appliances including a counter depth Fisher and Paykel fridge, Jenn-Air range, and Beko dishwasher. A corner bedroom with two exposures on the lower level is the recipient of the same beautiful views and light as the living room, making it the perfect place to begin and end your day. The adjacent spacious bathroom features a deep soaking tub and a Carrera marble-topped vanity with copious storage. A windowed wrap-around staircase with cleverly hidden storage leads to an expansive open upper floor with an additional balcony. This amazing level is currently used as a massive shared bedroom, but could easily be divided into two spaces and could accommodate a separate home office, play area, or artist’s space. Gleaming hardwood floors, central AC, and ample closets are throughout the residence, and an in-unit vented washer/dryer is an added convenience. A 421-A tax abatement is in place until 2025. Please note this is a walk-up (three flights). Situated on one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after tree-lined streets just one block south of Fort Greene Park, this pet-friendly boutique condo is in the heart of it all. With B.A.M and other major influential cultural institutions, some of Brooklyn’s finest restaurants, swanky cocktail lounges, and a ton of shopping nearby, this amazing location offers a fantastic marriage of lifestyle and convenience. Nearly every subway in NYC is accessible including the C and G trains two blocks away, and all of the options of Atlantic Terminal (LIRR, 2, 3, 4, 5, B, Q, D, N, R, and W) and DeKalb Avenue (B, D, N, Q, R, and W) nearby.

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.
