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…

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.

Noklissa – if you have a really large loft, why do you want to sell at all?
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?
We’re in that weird price point place where we can’t sell at stratospheric/super luxury prices, but we’re not in the category of those homes selling well and within 10% of peak either. Its a really large loft we bought in Manhattan in 1999. We renovated the whole place in 2005. So we’re one of those potential buyers most on Brownstoner don’t take into account when figuring the numbers.
Anybody know what top price was in Ft greene???
Pictures suck, I agree. The exposed brick needs a plaster job. I know a few very talented illegal immigrants who do spectacular work.
“extention”
You mean extinction like they’re not building anymore?
***Bid half off peak comps***
The location is nice and convenient, but the school zone is terrible in that corner of FG. Who wants to cross major highways with little kids every day?
Also, the reno is a bit dated if not tired. Or maybe the pictures are grainy and dark.
Anyway, not to start a neighborhood war, but there are better houses at this price point, either a better school or better renovation.
Loo on parlour floor, check
Room for senior in garden apt, check
I actually like the brick wall here, usually don’t.
All in all lovely.
Though not sure about the $2800 for the garden apt, seems a little high for these times.
Oh DitmasSnark — Is it like when One Observatory Circle was blurred out on the satellite view when Cheney lived there? It’s visible again!
But, for some reason, the Google Street View cart can’t get any closer to the house than this… http://bk.ly/Wc Seems to be a large barricade and a military guard booth in the way.
