Welcome to this bright and spacious residence at The Griffin, a distinguished Art Deco cooperative ideally situated on one of Fort Greene's most picturesque tree-lined blocks.
Oversized steel casement windows with eastern exposures flood the home with natural light while framing beautiful views over historic brownstones, lush treetops, and the striking Gothic spires of Queen of All Saints Church, one of Fort Greene's most recognizable architectural landmarks. Beautiful hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and timeless prewar details create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
Thoughtfully designed with an exceptional layout, the home comfortably accommodates separate living, dining, sleeping, and work-from-home areas, allowing each space to feel distinct while maintaining an open and airy feel.
A welcoming foyer with two generous closets provides excellent storage before opening into the expansive living area.
The windowed kitchen has been tastefully renovated with sleek white cabinetry accented by rich burgundy lacquer finishes, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and abundant natural light. Its contemporary design adds warmth and character while remaining highly functional for everyday living.
The bathroom features timeless marble tile, classic black-and-white mosaic flooring, and an original Art Deco soaking tub that reflects the building's historic character.
