Carlton Mews Townhouses Now Renting

The five brand new townhouses at Carlton Mews in Fort Greene hit the market Tuesday, each with a triplex and a two-bedroom garden apartment. We took a tour in person the same day, and they look as incredible in real life as they do here in the listing photos.
We speculate these were built to sell, not rent, but issues stemming from the collapse that killed a construction worker in 2012 may make that difficult or undesirable for now, at least.
Kudos to the architect, who is Darrin Krumpus of Boro Architects, according to the permits.
For $12,000 a month, the triplexes feature four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a den, large living room and basement storage. The 3,200-square-foot homes have bronze cabinet handles, Viking Stoves, gas fireplaces, zoned central heating and cooling and five-inch-wide oak plank floors. There’s also a deck and landscaped backyard shared with the garden apartment.
Downstairs, the two-bedroom garden apartments are 1,000 square feet and asking $3,750 a month. The finishes are not as nice as the triplexes, but they still sport white oak floors, stainless steel appliances and central heating and cooling. Five of the 10 units — two triplexes and three garden apartments — have already been rented, agent John LaRocca of Arena Real Estate told us.
The Landmarks-approved townhouses at 225-233 Carlton Avenue were built in a traditional 19th century style that mirrors the rest of the block. We’ve been watching them since construction began two and a half years ago, as well as the adjacent church, which was converted to 12 rentals and began leasing last month.
More photos after the jump! What do you think of how they turned out?

And a look at the garden apartment:
Hi, I see that the listing for 231 went up on Tuesday, but I think the broker/agent is doing something screwy to make it appear as a new listing. They, initially listed 233 Carlton back in January, and have been doing open houses ever since. Cate, as I mentioned in my previous post, I stuck my head into an open house weeks ago.
these did not hit the market Tuesday. they have been doing open houses for well over a month. It does seem like an ad, which is weird. But, to be fair, these are pretty cool. If you want townhouse living, and are ok to not have the character of an old townhouse, these are pretty top of the line. I stuck my head in an open house two weeks ago, and the Triplexes are hot. The kitchen and bathrooms are nicely done, and you are on a great fort greene block.
They are going to rent for 5 years and then sell at the top of the fort greene market.
by the way, nothing special just good photos and well staged. take a closer look at the photos and you will see they are actually average. no heart or soul here.
These are owned by Dixon or the like and they are holding them for 5-10 years before selling. Dixon generally holds for 5 years.
surprised if someone with that kind of money would rather rent than buy.
The highend rental market isn’t huge but there are plenty of people coming from Manhattan who can afford the rent and want to “try out” Brooklyn before buying or have already bought a house here and need somewhere to live while they finish their multi-million reno
Nice job with the stoop and railings.
