Brownstones on South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene don’t become available all that often—if you lived there would you really want to move? This house at 30 South Portland has been in the same hands for 30 years. The house, which appears to be in tip-top shape, has had a number of alterations over the years, especially on the rear of the house. The house was shown for the first time yesterday, according to the broker. How do you think the asking price of $2,600,000 will go over? It can’t be too far off the mark given that a house on nearby Washington Park went for more than $3 million earlier this year; another one was listed for $3,100,000 a few weeks with Corcoran but is no longer on the market. Anyone know what happened to that one? Update: Make sure you check out the very detailed description that one commenter who knows the house very well made at 6:50 pm.

  1. Parlor has crown moulding.

    Has a “hidden 5th story”: Full story in the back and roof slopes down to the front so it appears as four stories from the street. Look at the floor plans on the sale site. You’ll see the upstairs duplex has a loft that looks out over the livingroom.

    Is everyone here curious or actually thinking of buying?

  2. Can someone PLEASE explain why this brownstone is described as a 5-story building when it only has 4 stories? I am new to this subject and I am completely baffled by this. From the Property Shark picture, you can clearly see the garden level and then 3 floors–total equals 4 stories. There is no basement. What is the deal ??

  3. Does anyone, especially 6:50 pm commenter, know if the main parlor has the original details intact, i.e., crown and dental moldings? I’ve seen the houses right across the street from 30 South Portland and the parlors are absolutely beautiful and full of original moldings.

    Thank you…
