Built in 1856 and perfectly situated on a coveted landmarked block steps from Fort Greene Park, 219 Carlton Avenue is an elegant, 20-foot-wide, early Italianate townhouse offering an inspiring setting for gracious living and entertaining. Renowned dining, BAM and other cultural institutions, independent shops, and numerous subway options are moments away.

The parlor floor features soaring ceilings, full-length windows, plaster medallions, parquet floors with ribbon inlay, and a sleek contemporary gas fireplace. To the rear, the chef’s kitchen integrates modern millwork and minimalist flat-panel cabinetry with an eat-in Carrara marble island and dedicated dining area. An expansive multi-pane picture window and glass door fill the kitchen with natural light and leafy green views and open to an outdoor retreat: an elevated Ipe wood deck capturing tree-canopy views and a neighboring Gothic steeple, stepping down to a stone-paved garden enveloped in greenery.

Across the upper floors, serene bedrooms feature tall sash windows, hardwood floors with ribbon inlays, delicate medallions, curved archways, and marble mantels with cast-iron arched fireboxes. Updated full baths offer crisp subway tile, mosaic tile flooring, soaking tubs, and heated towel warmers.

Currently configured as an expansive owner’s triplex over an income-producing garden rental, the layout offers a straightforward single-family conversion, plus approximately 800 square feet of unused FAR (buyers should verify landmarks and zoning feasibility). The full basement includes a dedicated wine cellar and provides extensive storage space. Updated plumbing and electrical systems are complemented by central air and radiant heating, alongside a new roof and recently replaced boiler.

Constructed by prominent Brooklyn builder and first president of the Mechanics’ and Traders’ Exchange, Henry Harteau, the home was executed with graceful proportions and classic Italianate restraint. Today, the handsome facade retains its high brownstone stoop, cast-iron railings, foliate-bracketed door lintels, and finely carved cornice. A 2007 renovation led by The Brooklyn Studio updated the home’s infrastructure while honoring its 19th-century character.

219 Carlton is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic townhouse with timeless proportions in a leafy historic district defined by Fort Greene Park, world-class arts, dining and neighborhood charm.
