A rare property presents contemporary details, all new hardware, and a culmination of proportion, location, and light that will turn heads and excite.
Introducing 37 South Portland Ave. Your new upper triplex is the result of a bespoke renovation of an historic brownstone on a block known for stunning architecture and centuries of soul that permeates the senses.
Imagine a 22' wide stately home with 12'8" ceilings on the parlor floor. As you enter the home, the East / West exposure creates a sensation of light and air. You have a versatile and well laid out home above you on three levels, and also including a handsome deck of the rear parlor and a landscaped garden surrounded by mature trees.
37 S Portland has been meticulously reimagined. Your three and one-half new bathrooms have natural lime plaster and fixtures from Waterworks in polished nickel and unlacquered brass. All the stone work is natural marble, limestone and quartzite. The owner maintained the original details throughout the property, with original hardwood in many places, master craftsman scultpted plaster, and marble mantelpieces. What is new, are details like central air and much more.
Your new Brooklyn estate beckons. We are the key.
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.
