Overview

Fort Greene Restored Townhouse

Located on a coveted block in Fort Greene, steps from the park, 42 South Portland Avenue is a restored two-family townhouse blending brownstone charm with modern luxury. Configured as a renovated triplex above a garden-level apartment, the home can serve as a grand single-family residence or an owner’s triplex with a rental unit. A landscaped backyard completes the property. The triplex entry from a private stoop leads to a double parlor with 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, crown moldings, decorative fireplaces, and natural light. Double pocket doors open into a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and six-burner Wolf stove with vented hood, custom cabinetry, and countertops with a built-in breakfast bar. The kitchen flows to a private deck overlooking the garden. The second and third floors feature five bedrooms and two renovated windowed baths. A skylight crowns the staircase. 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 half a block from Fort Greene Park and its Saturday farmer’s market, the location offers access to neighborhood boutiques, restaurants, and cultural destinations along DeKalb, Fulton, and Lafayette Avenues. With 11 subway lines and the LIRR nearby, Manhattan is easily accessible. This townhouse combines history, luxury, and location in Fort Greene.
