House: 19 South Elliott Place

19 South Elliott Place is a beautiful Italianate townhouse which sits on a tree-lined brownstone block just a half block from Fort Greene Park in the heart of the Fort Greene Historical District. Erected circa 1870, this exquisite brownstone is four stories and measures 20’ x 42’. It sits on a 100’ lot.

It retains original interior detail, such as hardwood floors, plaster moldings, marble mantles, medallions, and woodwork. The grand parlor floor offers soaring ceilings, full-length windows, and a full-width rear parlor with original arch and corbels. The staircase retains its original newel post, balusters, and railing that curves gracefully upstairs.

On its exterior, 19 South Elliott retains its original doorway enframement composed of paneled piers and foliate brackets to support a shallow eyebrow lintel. The upper story openings are ornamented by eyebrow lip lintels and molded stills supported on corbels, and the top of the structure features a wooden bracketed cornice.

Sitting within the Fort Greene Historic district, the neighborhood is sure to retain its historic charm. The area is an urban dweller’s dream steps from Fort Greene Park with its year-round farmers market, acclaimed restaurants along DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), quick transport to Manhattan as well as the Barclays Center and a multitude of shops and restaurants in close proximity.
