Property Description
Set on one of the most coveted blocks in Fort Greene, just steps from the park, 42 South Portland Avenue is a stunningly restored two-family townhouse that seamlessly blends timeless brownstone charm with modern luxury.
Currently configured as a fully renovated triplex above a garden-level apartment, the home offers remarkable versatility: it can serve as a grand single-family residence, or as an owner's triplex with an income-generating rental unit. A beautifully landscaped backyard completes the picture.
Entering the triplex from your private stoop, you are welcomed into a gracious double parlor featuring 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, elegant crown moldings, decorative fireplaces, and exquisite natural light. Double pocket doors open into a chef's kitchen outfitted with premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, six-burner Wolf stove with vented hood, custom cabinetry, and countertops with a built-in breakfast bar. The kitchen flows seamlessly to a private deck overlooking the garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the second and third floors feature five bedrooms and two newly renovated windowed baths. A skylight crowns the staircase, filling the upper levels with sunlight. Modern comforts include central heating and cooling with zoned controls in each room, plus an in-unit washer and dryer.
The garden apartment provides flexibility as an income property, guest suite, or additional living space, with direct access to the backyard.
Situated just half a block from Fort Greene Park and its beloved Saturday farmer's market, the location is unmatched. Enjoy the neighborhood's boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural destinations along DeKalb, Fulton, and Lafayette Avenues. With 11 subway lines and the LIRR nearby, Manhattan and beyond are easily accessible.
42 South Portland Avenue offers the rare opportunity to own a townhouse that is as practical as it is beautiful, combining history, luxury, and location in the heart of Fort Greene.
