Completely rebuilt as a masonry and steel structure in 2014, 65 South Elliott Place is a 20-foot wide mint modern townhouse on one of Fort Greene's treasured Park blocks. The 1850's-style clapboard facade and covered porch are meticulously restored to the specifications of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Configured as a triplex over a garden apartment plus finished basement, 65 South Elliott Place features a total of five bedrooms and four and a half baths, with high end finishes and fixtures throughout. With a large manicured yard and three decks, its design themes include abundant open spaces, both indoor and outdoor. This home's versatile design works equally well for use as a single-family or two-family.

Coming home to 65 South Elliott Place, you'll ascend a wide stoop to a porch where you can sit and relax in the calm of this tree-lined block. Walking through polished oak doors you enter into a loft-style parlor floor with open view lines from front to rear. In the front parlor, you will have the option of making a dining or living room with tall windows and a working gas fireplace. The middle parlor features the spine of the home, a stunning steel and glass staircase that is wide and open, with light that pours down from three large skylights. Moving deeper into the house, you'll find a chef's kitchen with enormous counters and easy circulation built to accommodate easy cooking and socializing. It's equipped with Caesarstone countertops, a Miele double electric oven, a Miele gas cook-top with six burners, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf microwave. The kitchen forms part of an expansive great-room rarely seen in Brooklyn townhouses, with huge windows that bring sunlight deep into the house all day long. A glass door opens to a deck elevated above the backyard: a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city and an elegant place to entertain.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms and three baths. Seven skylights help make these floors feel particularly light and airy. The primary bedroom suite is sunny and private, with a walk-in closet and a large private terrace. Every bathroom is equipped with radiant floor heating. The heating and cooling systems are all state of the art here, and each room is its own zone, so you and your guests will be comfortable year-round.

The garden level is designed to work well as a separate one-bedroom apartment (by locking one door), or as an extension of the house. In the home's current single-family interior design, the garden level features an indoor gym and a home office. The kitchen and living room on this level are graced with high ceilings, a wall of windows, and glass doors to the backyard. The basement, which is accessible from the triplex and the garden apartment, is finished and includes air conditioning, so there's turn-key potential for a media room, a rec room, den, or office.

At 65 South Elliott Place there's an almost bucolic sense of living in the countryside, and yet you're close to just about everything in the heart of Brooklyn. The weekly Fort Greene Greenmarket, BAM, Whole Foods, Barclays Center, and so much more are just a few blocks away. The Long Island Railroad and 11 subway lines are nearby for a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn.

Whether savoring the leafy views from the sanctuary of your third-floor terrace and private backyard, enjoying Fort Greene Park at the end of the block, or touring the neighborhood's cultural landmarks, one-of-a-kind shops, and celebrated restaurants, 65 South Elliott Place is the epitome of modern Brooklyn home living.
