House of the Day: 237 Carlton Avenue
When 237 Carlton Avenue was on the 2006 Fort Greene House Tour we called it “probably our favorite of the tour.” Looking at the photos of the Greek Revival townhouse on the new Corcoran listing, we can see why. The 5,000-square-foot semi-detached house, which was once a church rectory, has original wide-plank floors, beautiful woodwork…
When 237 Carlton Avenue was on the 2006 Fort Greene House Tour we called it “probably our favorite of the tour.” Looking at the photos of the Greek Revival townhouse on the new Corcoran listing, we can see why. The 5,000-square-foot semi-detached house, which was once a church rectory, has original wide-plank floors, beautiful woodwork and, most unusually, a width of 40 feet. The house needs some modernizing, to be sure, so it’ll be interesting to see what the reaction is to the $2,500,000 asking price. Another question mark that is bound to impact the sale is what the future holds for the large empty lot next door; there are LPC-approved plans for a townhouse development that never got built, but right now it’s just a plywood fence and a field of weeds.

OK, this place is really interesting. Is there a yard? Couldnt make out the floor plan.
Finally, $2.5MM that looks like $2.5MM. This is awesome.
Very cool. I’m assuming the gothic lower level was added by the rectory and wasn’t part of the original design. It looks very churchy!
BHO, guess you’ll be bidding and bidding strong on this one
Lot or no lot, this one’s an outlier. Envy is priceless. Above ask EZ.

It is simply a stunning historic manse.
If someone is looking for a very roomy mansion (that includes you, Gwyneth) This is it! I hope it stays a single or two-family home. It is unique.
Wow.
Wow! Quite spectacular. I love the detailing like the iron work in front and the door and window surrounds inside. But I wonder, if the lot next door gets built, what happens to the bay window on the side?
This is an incredible example of Greek Revival and Gothic residential architecture. Not many of these.
