216 Carlton Ave

216 Carlton Avenue is an authentic Italianate-style brownstone dating from the mid-19th century, thoughtfully restored and renovated into a modern oasis while preserving the integrity of its original design and craftsmanship. Set on a 21’ x 100’ lot and spanning approximately 4,000 square feet across four stories plus a cellar, the home features a grand parlor with soaring 12-foot ceilings and pristine original details, a terrace off the primary bedroom floor, and a deep rear garden. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and excellent sunny exposures, this single-family residence is a rare rental offering on one of Fort Greene’s most desirable blocks. 216 Carlton is just one block from Fort Greene Park, the beloved Olmsted-designed green space featuring dog runs, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Brooklyn residents from near and far flock to the Saturday farmers’ market for local produce from small farmers and fishermen across the Northeast, and to the Michelin-level restaurants lining DeKalb Avenue. Close by, the offerings are abundant—coffee at Bittersweet or Amanda’s Good Morning Café, pastries from Peck’s, or dinner at a number of top-tier Brooklyn establishments, from Sailor to Roman’s to Miss Ada to Theodora, to name a few. Fort Greene may be Brooklyn’s most exciting neighborhood.
