Rental of the Day: 50 South Portland Avenue
Last year this Fort Greene townhouse was put on the rental market for $10,500 a month. While it’s unclear whether or not it rented for that price, the five-bedroom beauty is back up for grabs, listed for $12,500 a month. That’s a big number for the neighborhood but it’s a pretty stunning house so you…

“So, I guess the part of the parlor floor that doesn’t exist anymore, is not traditional.”
Ha, I’m funny. I didn’t mean that to be funny when I wrote it.I’m a comic genius. Clearly.
Fantastic house and overall a wonderful integration of modern elements within a traditional brownstone. Folks this kind of clean crisp architecture is not only very expensive but very hard to accomplish period!
The location speaks for itself “best block in NY” according to TimeOut NY and we suspect this is gonna rent for the asking or very close to it….quality is n’t cheap!
Noki you are correct:
“Also, $12,500? Isn’t that incredibly steep for 3,900 sq. feet in Brooklyn?”
~ I like this version of “ripping out part of the parlor floor” better than I did the one on Lincoln Place or St. Johns Place a few months back. It looks nice and feels good, navigable and bright.
That said, NO DOGS? That garden floor practically weeps for one. Also, $12,500? Isn’t that incredibly steep for 3,900 sq. feet in Brooklyn? Maybe I’m out of touch with the rental market, but my GOD.
The architecture is very well done. I don’t care for their furniture and decorating choices, but those are temporary.
It’s not traditional but it is pretty nice. I guess the portion they opened up was to the rear of the rear parlor as I see two fireplaces in the photos. The 2-story space does help to connect, at least visually, the living area with the dining/kitchen area. Very sumptuous and expensive to do this sort of structural intervention in a rickety old brownstone I’m sure.
This kind of luxurious house needs a dog (or two) in residence.
“nomi, the upper part of the “atrium” used to be the rear parlor.”
Right, yes. So, I guess the part of the parlor floor that doesn’t exist anymore, is not traditional.
agreed the dog ban is unacceptable at that price.
Two rooms are modern… the rest is just white, but full o’ details.
$150,000 a year — I’ll take two!
Can I just say, you want someone to give you $150,000 every year and you don’t allow them to have a damn dog — that’s a big ol’ “Fuck you. Who do you think you are?!”
yup – baller fo sho
