"There is lots of Italianate eye candy on view in this Fort Greene rental and it comes with an equally impressive monthly price. Plasterwork, marble mantels, a curved stair with coffin corner, and more details fill the brownstone at 216 Carlton Street. Other perks include four floors of living space, a renovated kitchen, a second story terrace, updated bathrooms, and a generous number of bedrooms."
"In the Fort Greene Historic District and just around the corner from the park, the 21-foot-wide brownstone is one of a pair built circa 1865 by builder Thomas B. Jackson , according to the designation report. While the brownstone retains an original cornice, the lintels and door surround were stripped between the circa 1940 tax phot o and the 1978 designation of the district. Records show the row house was converted to a five-family dwelling in the 1950s, so it is possible the exterior alterations happened at that time."
"Now it's set up as a single-family with two floors of bedroom space above the parlor level. The garden floor has a guest suite or office with an en suite full bath as well as a family room with access to the rear yard. On the parlor level there are the expected grand proportions with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a massive ceiling medallion."
