Property Description

Craft Your Forever Home on the Best Block in Brooklyn

68 South Portland Avenue | Fort Greene

Offered at $3,950,000

For the first time in over 50 years, 68 South Portland Avenue is available for purchase, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own and transform a historic brownstone on what is widely recognized as Brooklyn's most iconic block.

Built in the early 1850s, this grand Italianate brick two-family townhouse spans approximately 3,100 square feet across four levels and retains its stately charm, with soaring ceilings, seven original marble mantels, three skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the parlor floor with light. The home is move-in ready yet brimming with potential—inviting the next owner to update or reimagine the interiors to match their vision while honoring its architectural roots.

The upper triplex is currently configured with 4.5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a sun-drenched eat-in kitchen that opens to a private deck and deep, lush garden centered around a mature Japanese Maple. This is a home where mornings begin with light streaming through skylights, and evenings are spent entertaining in timeless surroundings.

The garden-level one-bedroom apartment has its private entrance, original oak floors, and a charming eat-in kitchen with access to the garden—ideal for guests, extended family, or supplemental income. A dry basement with 6'6" ceilings offers additional storage or future expansion possibilities.

Set just half a block from Fort Greene Park and surrounded by world-class cultural venues, dining, and boutiques, this home offers the rare blend of tranquility, history, and access. South Portland Avenue has been celebrated by Time Out Magazine as the best block in NYC and featured in Bricks and Brownstones for its intact architectural beauty.

For families, creatives, and design-minded buyers looking for their forever home in Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhood, this is the moment.
