Wow, it’ll have to be some kind of record for Fort Greene if the top floor of the brownstone at 4 South Portland Avenue sells for the asking price of $1,059,000. As far as we know, no single floor has ever cleared the million-dollar mark. This is a handsome apartment to be sure and it’s located in the first house in from the park so location is premium too. It’s clearly just been rehabbed, and with mostly positive results as far as we can tell. The prewar details have been preserved and the new bathroom looks nicely done but the kitchen looks as generic as they come. Strange choice. Why not spring for some nicer cabinets when you’re shooting for over $1,000 a foot?

  1. You are comparing apples and oranges. A co-op in a financially challenged building is a dive. This apartment that I love is a CONDOMINIUM. I cannot speak of the financial of this building because I do not know. The apartment in the building next door may be okay but the building needs a lot of work including new carpet in the halls and a paint job. That is the simple things.

  2. This apartment is beautiful. People can alway change the cabinet to a style of their choice. The apartment is gorgeous. The view of Fort Greene Park is hypnotizing. I am scheduling an appointment to view this apartment next Tuesday.
