25 S Elliott Pl House

Welcome to 25 South Elliot Place, a classic four bedroom and two-and-a-half-bathroom single family brownstone located in the heart of Fort Greene. Built in 1899, this home stands a true testament to turn-of-the-century design, which seamlessly ties... historic architecture with contemporary accents. This is an exceptional rental opportunity for those who value timeless beauty and modern comforts.

Entering through the original mosaic-tiled vestibule, you are met with soaring ceilings adorned with intricate crown molding, original wainscoting and wood work. The double hung windows invite natural light to pour into the dual living spaces. Pocket doors, original to the home, provide an elegant touch of privacy, while the working wood-burning fireplace becomes a warm focal point during cooler months. Every detail of this floor reflects craftsmanship of a bygone era, elevated by the original waxed oak floors that flow throughout the home.

Descending to the garden level, you enter into the formal dining room, which leads to the expansive kitchen, outfitted with Calcutta gold marble countertops and custom cabinetry. Additionally, the kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Bertazzoni six-burner gas range, and a built-in bar complete with a sink and ice maker. Two wood-burning fireplaces imbue the space with a cozy charm, while a built-in sound system and a powder room add to the level's functionality. Beyond the kitchen lies the expansive mature garden, an oasis framed by Belgian waddle fencing. The garden is anchored by a magnificent cherry blossom tree that bursts into bloom each spring, which provides the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The entirety of the third floor is devoted to the primary suite. The bedroom features a gas fireplace, creating an intimate atmosphere. A spacious walk-in closet offers abundant storage, while the en-suite bathroom rivals a luxury spa. Clad in Kenyan black marble, it features a steam shower, a standalone marble soaking tub that is positioned beside its own gas fireplace.

The top floor provides endless versatility. There are two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet. Non-working fireplaces add charm to the rooms. Additionally, a third room, currently used as a study, can easily be utilized as a fourth bedroom. The bathroom on this level, features Blue Savoy marble, complete with a soaking tub.

Below grade, there is a gym/yoga studio, that is equipped with free weights, a rowing machine and floor to ceiling mirrors. Additionally, the laundry, along with a large storage area-maximizes the additional space.

Modern amenities, including central air conditioning, an ADT alarm system, and high-speed internet, ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful. Situated half a block from Fort Greene Park, this brownstone is ideally positioned near the farmer's market, Whole Foods, and an array of boutiques, wine shops, and restaurants that define the neighborhood's vibrant charm.
