House of the Day: 119 Fort Greene Place
Other than the exposed brick on the parlor floor, this brownstone at 119 Fort Greene Place in Fort Greene has a nice feel to it. Plenty of original details, nice width (21 feet) and an extention; we’d be surprised if you could actually get $2,800 a month for the garden rental but it’s probably not…
Other than the exposed brick on the parlor floor, this brownstone at 119 Fort Greene Place in Fort Greene has a nice feel to it. Plenty of original details, nice width (21 feet) and an extention; we’d be surprised if you could actually get $2,800 a month for the garden rental but it’s probably not far off. The asking price is $1,995,000. Not insane if you factor in the expected 10% discount in this market.

“Can I ask you guys how it works with garden access in this set-up? Does the owner share the garden with the tenant? And allow gardening, entertaining, etc by the tenant? Or does the owner give up access to the garden?”
Denton–at least for me the way I have worked it is sharing the garden with my tenants. I think it would be a case by case basis but I went into the process of finding a tenant with the concept that we would get along and share the gardening duties and socialize sometimes and that is the way its worked out. IF I didn’t like my tenants so much I would probably keep it to “you guys have your private patio and we have the yard” or whatever but I would much rather have a good relationship and share everything.
Noki, don’t be bothered by bklplebe, a lot of what you want is here. It’s still urban, but much less noisy and congested in the neighborhoods you’re considering than where you are in Manhattan. We do the bstone trick or treating, play in the parks, grill outside, the whole deal, an really like it. It’s still the big city though…
Ok, not surprised dinobot. I just didn’t recall off the top of my head any brownstones breaking 3MM in FG. I remembered a few unique places that qualified as old mansions…
BTW, The Minsker’s got this listing. It moves at usual premium over widget until big banks start collapsing again.
***Bid half off peak comps***
there were some 3+mm transactions in fg – i can think of at least 2 of them. 1 on wash park and 1 on south portland. probably were more.
“because we have grown tired of the very busy part of downtown Manhattan in which we life, the traffic, construction, over-development, crowds, the Gaps,”
Seriously??
Like brooklyn does not have its share of gaps, jackhammers, traffic, etc. You describe a family paradise but a paradise isn’t. I would never send my kids to trick or treat torental brownstones, nor play in the streets. You describe a fantasy…
Not much of a sales pitch for your current house, Nokilissa. Hope your area has lots of potential buyers that don’t read Brownstoner …
jeez noki, is there anything you DONT want? hahaha
*rob*
Noki, you need to move to Brooklyn my friend…
