January 28, 2006 — Fort Greeners already have a fab tennis court. Now buyers at Cumberland Greene, a new four-story townhouse, will get a pool too. Opening near the park, at 237 Cumberland St., the brick building will offer four units, all three-bedrooms ranging from 1,800 square feet to 2,200 square feet for the duplex penthouse. In the back, there’ll be a landscaped garden and a waterfall, while a pool and fitness center will be available in the basement. Prices are expected to start at $1.5 million. If Fort Greeners are notoriously protective of their neighborhood, Suzanne Debrango, licensed sales agent at Brooklyn Properties, notes that the developers are two local artists who happen to live right next door to the building. Still, Cumberland Greene is likely to draw the moneyed crowd. The units will be marketed to Manhattan buyers, according to Debrango.

Comment: Could this be the same artist couple that built this Studio-cum-gallery building on Vanderbilt? Supposedly they own a brownstone in Fort Greene…
