About this home
<p> Nestled on one of Fort Greene's most coveted tree-lined blocks, 250 Cumberland Street is a rare pre-Civil War legal two-family townhouse that blends historic charm with modern comforts. Currently configured as an upper triplex with a garden-level studio, the layout is flexible, warm, and functional. The combined expertise of architects Ben Herzog and Sarah Jacoby has created a residence that honors its past yet lives beautifully for today.</p> <p> Step inside to discover spacious parlor-level living, featuring refinished original wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light pouring through tall windows. </p> <p> The kitchen, last renovated in 2014, is a sunlit haven overlooking the landscaped backyard. It features custom wood cabinetry, Paperstone countertops, Franke sink, and premium appliances including Liebherr, Bosch, Samsung, and Blue Star. Open shelving crafted from original 1852 studs pays homage to the home's roots. The home's original "tea room" extension remains intact and is one of the few surviving in Fort Greene.</p> <p> Upstairs, each bedroom offers built-in closets and excellent light. The second-floor front bedroom retains a fireplace that can be reopened, and plumbing in the primary allows easy addition of an ensuite if desired. The bathrooms feature classic clawfoot tubs and windows inviting natural light.</p> <p> In the front, the property retains its crossetted Greek Revival upper-story window enframements with slab lintels, dentiled transom bar, and Italianate wooden cornice with paired brackets. Complementing these historic details is a landmark-approved facade restoration that includes a new portico and stoop with railings and balusters, lighting, copper detailing, and a bluestone patio that is heated for snow melt in winter. The landscaped back garden provides a simple yet serene place to relax, with storage underneath. </p> <p> Mechanical systems are robust and modernized: upgraded electrical and plumbing, mini-split HVAC units, dual water heaters, recirculating hot water system, Nest thermostats, and a full security and fire monitoring setup.</p> <p> Located just steps from the beautiful Fort Greene Park, 250 Cumberland Street offers the perfect blend of historic charm and unbeatable neighborhood amenities. Spend your weekends at the park's lively farmers markets and community events, or explore the renowned dining scene just half a block away on DeKalb Avenue. You're also walking distance to the Brooklyn Cultural District, home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and a variety of theater, dance, and other cultural institutions. </p>...
