$10K/month townhouse triplex in Fort Greene mixes historic details with boho accents

October 31, 2017

This classic Fort Greene brownstone at 23 South Elliott Place holds an attractive triplex apartment inside. The rental, which covers the parlor floor, second floor and third floor (and includes access to the backyard), is on the market for a cool $10,000 a month. On display across every floor are those exquisite original brownstone details, while a renovation managed to open up the floorplan and bring more light inside.

A long hallway along the parlor floor leads to the living room, in front, and kitchen and dining area, in the rear. The elaborate moldings and ceiling medallion that decorate the high ceiling are easily the highlight of the space.

By opening up the kitchen in the renovation, light flows through the entire floor. Modern details, like open shelving and new appliances, blend nicely with the original parlor floor design. The back door leads out to a large deck, which has stairs down to the backyard.

The second floor holds two bedrooms and one bathroom; the third floor holds the master bedroom, another bedroom, and a study. The master is decked out with two windows, a skylight and a huge walk-in dressing room.

At least one of the bathrooms still has its original clawfoot tub.

The backyard spans an impressive 1,000 square feet and includes the perfect, green nook to hang a hammock.

South Elliott Place is considered by many to be one of Brooklyn’s most desirable blocks, due to its tree and townhouse-lined street. It’s also adjacent to Fort Greene Park, located at the end of the block, as well as the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Barclays Center, both a short block south.

Isabella Rossellini’s Daughter Buys Eerie $2M Fort Greene Townhouse

By Annie Doge

Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, daughter of famed Italian actress and model Isabella Rossellini, has just picked up a $2.2 million Fort Greene townhouse, according to city records. And the beautifully historic, yet slightly disheveled home at 23 South Elliott Place would make the perfect backdrop for a fashionably eerie photo shoot (or some really good Instagrams). Built in 1870, and part of the Fort Greene Historic District, the five-bedroom home is currently configured as a two-family residence, but we're guessing Ms. Rossellini isn't going to be looking for roommates and will likely convert it back to a single-family dwelling.

Tired of roommates? Here are 5 studios in NYC renting for under $2,500/month

By Devin Gannon

Sharing space with roommates in a small New York City apartment has never been easy. But doing so during a pandemic while many are still working from home? Almost impossible. As winter approaches and takes safe outdoor activities with it, now may be a good time to look for your own apartment. And with average rents still down compared to the same period last year, you're more likely to scoop up a decent deal. For those ready to ditch the roommates, we've found five studio apartments perfect for one, from a sunny Sutton Place rental for $1,538/month to a $2,479/month junior one-bedroom with amenities in Gramercy Park.
