Fort Greene Garden Unit With Laundry Asks $3,850 a Month

"At the rear of the unit is the bedroom with windows that look out to the rear yard. Finishes are all white in the bathroom, with white tile and fixtures. Laundry is outside the apartment, in a closet in the entry hall. A floor plan shows there is more storage in the hallway."

The rental is a compact garden-level unit in an 1850s wood frame house in the Wallabout Historic District. The 22-foot-wide building gained an extra story in 1881, adding Neo-Grec-style bracketed cornice details and transitional Greek Revival/Italianate features. Greek Revival elements include Corinthian porch columns and a door surround with sidelights. Early residents near the Brooklyn Navy Yard worked in shipping-related trades. The apartment’s open-plan living room and kitchen include wide plank floorboards and a decorative mantel, with white walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets. A middle room with a tiny window is set up as an office, and the rear bedroom has windows facing the yard. The bathroom uses white tile and fixtures, and laundry is located outside the unit in an entry hall closet. The rental is listed at $3,850 per month.
