Adelphi Street
Description
Up the wide stoop and through the beautiful oak doors,...Fabulous Fort Greene Townhouse. This sensational 4,000 square-foot, 22-foot wide brownstone. Part of a row of seven houses built in 1867, in the Italianate style on one of Fort Greene’s most beautiful tree-lined streets, 311 Adelphi Street is stunning by any standard. This four-story legal three-unit property offers a two-bedroom lower owners duplex with a magical backyard, and two high-income producing floor-through apartments on the upper levels.
Up the wide stoop and through the beautiful oak doors, the vestibule welcomes you with detailed original plaster ceiling moldings and a sweeping stairwell to the upper stories. From here, the extra-wide entry opens to the double parlor of the owner’s duplex which has 11-foot ceilings with wedding cake moldings, oversized historic-landmark windows, and black walnut wide plank floors. This wide-open airy 21-foot-long double parlor allows for a substantial living area and dining that calls for populous dinners that we all miss.
Beyond the parlor, the super contemporary kitchen is a cook's dream with white cabinets and Caesarstone countertops with a center island cooktop and a custom hood. A fresh-faced powder room with a stand-up shower is neatly tucked in just off the kitchen.
Onward outside to the perfectly proportioned deck perfect late-night wine sipping and morning brunches. The lower garden is tasteful with a lovely lawn, beautiful boxwoods, and potted bamboo.
The garden level of the duplex, which is accessible from the backyard has an expansive bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Adjacent, to the bedroom, is an inviting den/tv room and custom walk-in closet. The handsome front bedroom room features original oak floors along with oversized oak window casings and is updated with recessed lighting.
Each of the two rental units, which currently produce nearly $72,000 in annual income, has two bedrooms and one bath. These bright, airy apartments have high ceilings, large windows, original moldings, and hardwood floors. The windowed bathrooms have been outfitted with washers and dryers.
This wonderful property in the heart of the Fort Greene Historic District is surrounded by neighborhood greenspace, including Fort Greene Park. Also nearby are wonderful shops, eateries, and arts and entertainment venues, among them BAM, Theater for a New Audience, and Barclays Center. Transportation options abound with c and G,4/5, B/D, N, Q, R, and LIRR at Atlantic Terminal all nearby.
