Property Description for 216 Adelphi Street
Welcome to 216 Adelphi Street, a beautifully restored four-story brownstone located in the heart of Fort Greene. This thoughtfully renovated home offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern luxury, with original architectural details, a designer kitchen and bathrooms, and an impeccably landscaped garden.
Measuring 20 feet wide and 45 feet deep, the home offers exceptional proportions and a layout designed for both comfort and style. The parlor floor is especially impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Adelphi Street, restored original floors and moldings, and a powder room. The rear of the parlor is home to a stunning open kitchen and dining room, featuring custom sunflower yellow cabinetry, sleek black countertops, open shelving, and a built-in upholstered banquette. Appliances include a vented six-burner Smeg range, vintage-inspired Smeg refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher. French doors lead to a spacious deck with stairs down to a beautifully landscaped garden complete with new cedar fencing, irrigated planting beds, and a large patio.
On the third floor, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, each with custom closets and beautifully designed en-suite baths. The top floor includes two additional large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a nursery or home office.
The garden level functions as a flexible one-bedroom apartment, perfect for guests or rental income, with a large living and kitchen area featuring walnut countertops, stainless steel appliances, built-in bookshelves, and access to the garden. The finished basement adds even more usable space with a newly poured concrete floor, laundry center, and home gym area.
Additional upgrades include all new windows, new brownstone facade, new mechanicals, new electrical, and a dedicated AV closet connecting indoor and outdoor built-in speakers.
216 Adelphi Street is two short blocks to Ft Greene Park, and moments from adored restaurants Evelina, Colonia Verde, Sailor, Saraghina Caffe and so many others.

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.
