A dry basement with 6'6" ceilings offers additional storage or future expansion possibilities.Set just half a block from Fort Greene Park and surrounded by world-class cultural venues, dining, and boutiques, this home offers the rare blend of tranquility, history, and access. South Portland Avenue has been celebrated by Time Out Magazine as the best block in NYC and featured in Bricks and Brownstones for its intact architectural beauty.For families, creatives, and design-minded buyers looking for their forever home in Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhood, this is the moment.Private showings by appointment only.
