Imagine making your home in verdant Fort Greene, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. In this peaceful yet vibrant enclave, sidewalks are lined by leafy trees, and stately historic townhouses deliver an attractive streetscape and a glimpse into a bygone era of grandeur and craftsmanship. Available for the first time in 30 years, 359 Adelphi Street is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire the perfect canvas for your Fort Greene dream home. Constructed in 1859, the beautiful Italianate rowhouse offers an expansive footprint for luxurious living and lavish entertaining with 4,760 square feet of living space across four levels and a full cellar.
