315 Adelphi Street
Description
Begin with...This stately 22-foot-wide brownstone at 315 Adelphi Street offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space and a rare mix of historic character, thoughtful updates, and strong rental income. Built in 1867 as part of a row of Italianate-style homes, it sits on one of Fort Greene’s most beloved tree-lined blocks and is configured as a legal three-family with an owner’s lower duplex and two renovated floor-through apartments above. Keep as is or convert to a magnificent single family home.
Begin with a classic entry hall featuring black-and-white marble floors, original plasterwork, and a sweeping staircase. Inside, the double parlor features 11-foot ceilings, oversized landmark-approved windows, 7-inch wide-plank oak floors, and original details including arched doorways, mirrored pocket doors, and a striking coffered oak ceiling. The space comfortably fits both a large seating area and a full dining table.
The kitchen is fully outfitted with high-end appliances, including a Wolf range with grill, Wolf microwave drawer, Miele dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator/freezer. Floor-to-ceiling oak cabinetry includes a rolling library ladder, and the oversized Carrara marble island doubles as prep space and breakfast bar. A powder room is tucked just off the kitchen, and custom French doors open to a beautifully landscaped 1,056-square-foot garden. There is an irrigation system in both front and back gardens, and the outdoor kitchen includes a Wolf grill, Sub-Zero refrigerator, sink, and cast concrete countertop.
Downstairs, the garden level includes a spacious primary bedroom with a full wall of custom lacquered closets, a hallway lined with additional storage (including a hidden home office), and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double marble pedestal sinks. A second original fireplace adds charm. Additional features in the duplex include central air, original radiators with custom covers, custom-stained oak doors with Nanz hardware, Yamaha in-ceiling speakers, O’Lampia lighting, Forbes & Lomax switches, and a full LG washer and dryer in the laundry room.
Modern upgrades include a Leak Defense System that monitors water flow for the entire property and can help reduce insurance costs. A whole-house water purification system has been installed, along with an HVAC air purification system for the owner’s unit. The building also features a full alarm system and intercom covering all units.
Upstairs are two bright and spacious rental units with high ceilings, original moldings, and hardwood floors. Both units have been recently renovated with split-system air conditioning, updated kitchens and baths, Liebherr refrigerators/freezers, Miele washer/dryers, and all-electric ranges and cooktops. Together, they could generate nearly $100,000 in annual income.
315 Adelphi is located in the heart of the Fort Greene Historic District, surrounded by green space including Fort Greene Park, and close to BAM, Barclays Center, and local shops, restaurants, and cafes. Easy access to the C, G, B/D, N/Q/R, 4/5 trains and LIRR at Atlantic Terminal makes commuting simple.
