Step into classic Brooklyn charm at The Griffin, a distinguished Art Deco cooperative in the heart of Fort Greene.

Description

Step into classic Brooklyn charm at The Griffin, a distinguished Art Deco cooperative in the heart of Fort Greene. This spacious east-facing studio has expansive views across brownstone Brooklyn and features original hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and striking steel casement windows that fill the space with natural light. A large separate eat-in kitchen with a window and butcher block countertops offers rare functionality, while the sleeping alcove, dressing area, and two oversized closets - including a walk-in - provide excellent storage and flexibility. Additional features include a new AC unit and pet-friendly living.

This home is located one treelined block from Fort Greene Park and the Saturday farmer's market and is surrounded by some of Brooklyn's best restaurants including Theodora, Sailor, and Roman's, plus cultural destinations like The Brooklyn Academy of Music. The Navy Yard, City Point, Barclays Center, Whole Foods, and the Apple Store are also within easy reach. Transportation is exceptional with the C and G trains right there and Atlantic Terminal just a few blocks away, with access to the B/D/N/Q/R/2/3/4/5 trains and the LIRR for a quick commute to Manhattan and beyond.

Originally built in the 1930s as a grand hotel, The Griffin retains its pre-war elegance with an ornate facade with terra-cotta details creating a dramatic entrance to the thoughtfully preserved Deco lobby. Full-service amenities include a 24-hour doorman, superintendent, two elevators, laundry room, and bike room (wait list). Co-purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, subletting, and up to 80% financing are permitted with board approval.
