A Rare Fort Greene Landmark, Offered for the First Time in 45 Years

A remarkable piece of Fort Greene history, 288A Vanderbilt Avenue is a beautifully preserved four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom townhouse within the Fort Greene Historic District. Designed by architect William Tubby, architect to the Pratt family, the home was built in 1889.

Lovingly maintained by the same owners for 45 years, this gracious residence retains an extraordinary collection of original architectural details, offering the character and craftsmanship of a 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse alongside the comforts of modern living.

A pocket door connects the parlor rooms, creating gracious spaces for entertaining, including a dining room that provides a wonderful setting for gatherings with family and friends. A graceful original staircase with historic newels and decorative fireplaces throughout the house speak to its remarkable period craftsmanship.

Renovations have been carried out with a light and thoughtful hand. The kitchen features an electric range, radiant-heated floors, and a floor-to-ceiling picture window overlooking the magical garden, with direct access to the garden as well. The bathrooms include Toto bidet toilets, a deep soaking tub, and a large shower. Double-pane windows improve efficiency while preserving the historic character of the façade.

The home unfolds across four levels: the parlor floor, two upper floors, and a renovated garden level. The upper floors offer four generously sized bedrooms, with a bathroom on each floor. The garden level is currently configured as an office and opens directly to both the garden and the street, offering flexibility as more living space or guest quarters.

Beyond, a private and peaceful garden features a natural-gas grill and an inviting setting for morning coffee, leisurely afternoons, and long summer dinners.

After 45 years in the same hands, 288A Vanderbilt Avenue is being offered for the first time in a generation. This is a special opportunity to own a piece of Fort Greene's history - and to make it your own.

Outside, the house sits on one of Fort Greene's handsomest tree-lined blocks. Fort Greene Park is moments away, and its Saturday greenmarket is a neighborhood ritual. BAM is close by for opera, film and dance, and the Pratt Sculpture Park turns an afternoon walk into a gallery visit. The streets in between are full of cafés that know their regulars, restaurants worth crossing the river for, and shops with real personality. The C and G trains are nearby, with easy connections to the A, B, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
