Sa isang sikat na puno-linyang kalye ng Fort Greene, ang 250 Cumberland Street ay isang bihirang pre-Civil War legal na townhouse para sa dalawang pamilya na pinagsasama ang makasaysayang alindog at modernong kaginhawaan. Sa kasalukuyan, ito ay nakakonpigura bilang isang upper triplex na may studio sa antas ng hardin, ang layout ay nababagay, mainit, at functional. Ang pinagsamang kadalubhasaan ng mga arkitekto na sina Ben Herzog at Sarah Jacoby ay lumikha ng isang tahanan na nagbibigay-pugay sa nakaraan ngunit maganda ang pamumuhay para sa kasalukuyan.

Pumasok ka at matutuklasan ang maluwang na pamumuhay sa parlor-level, na nagtatampok ng na-renovate na orihinal na sahig ng kahoy, isang fireplace na nag-aalab ng kahoy, at saganang likas na liwanag na dumadaloy sa pamamagitan ng mga mataas na bintana.

Ang kusina, na huling na-renovate noong 2014, ay isang maliwanag na kanlungan na nakatanaw sa landscaped na likod-bahay. Ito ay nagtatampok ng pasadyang cabinetry ng kahoy, Paperstone countertops, Franke lababo, at mga premium na appliances kabilang ang Liebherr, Bosch, Samsung, at Blue Star. Ang open shelving na gawa sa orihinal na mga studs mula 1852 ay nagbibigay-pugay sa mga ugat ng bahay. Ang orihinal na "tea room" na extension ng bahay ay nananatiling buo at isa sa mga kaunting natitirang ganito sa Fort Greene.

Sa itaas, bawat silid-tulugan ay nag-aalok ng built-in na closet at mahusay na liwanag. Ang silid-tulugan sa harap sa ikalawang palapag ay may naiwang fireplace na maaaring buksan muli, at ang plumbing sa pangunahing silid ay nagpapadali ng madaling pagdagdag ng ensuite kung nais. Ang mga banyo ay nagtatampok ng mga klasikong clawfoot tubs at mga bintana na humihikbi ng natural na liwanag.

Sa harap, ang ari-arian ay nagtataglay ng crossetted na Greek Revival upper-story window enframements na may slab lintels, dentiled transom bar, at Italianate na kahoy na cornice na may mga paired brackets. Ang mga makasaysayang detalye na ito ay pinapuri ng isang facade restoration na aprubado ng landmark na nagsasama ng bagong portico at stoop na may railing at balusters, ilaw, copper detailing, at isang bluestone patio na pinainit para sa pagkatunaw ng niyebe tuwing taglamig. Ang landscaped na likod-bahay ay nagbibigay ng simpleng ngunit tahimik na lugar upang magrelaks, na may storage sa ilalim.

Ang mga mekanikal na sistema ay matibay at modernisado: na-upgrade na elektrikal at plumbing, mini-split HVAC units, dual water heaters, recirculating hot water system, Nest thermostats, at isang buong security at fire monitoring setup.

Matatagpuan lamang sa ilang hakbang mula sa magandang Fort Greene Park, ang 250 Cumberland Street ay nag-aalok ng perpektong halo ng makasaysayang alindog at hindi matatalo na mga amenities ng kapitbahayan. Gamitin ang inyong mga weekend sa buhay na farmers markets at mga kaganapan ng komunidad sa parke, o tuklasin ang kilalang dining scene na kung saan ay kalahating bloke lamang ang layo sa DeKalb Avenue. Ikaw din ay nasa distansyang maaring lakarin patungo sa Brooklyn Cultural District, tahanan ng Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) at iba't-ibang teatro, sayaw, at iba pang mga institusyong pangkultura.

Nestled on one of Fort Greene's most coveted tree-lined blocks, 250 Cumberland Street is a rare pre-Civil War legal two-family townhouse that blends historic charm with modern comforts. Currently configured as an upper triplex with a garden-level studio, the layout is flexible, warm, and functional. The combined expertise of architects Ben Herzog and Sarah Jacoby has created a residence that honors its past yet lives beautifully for today.

Step inside to discover spacious parlor-level living, featuring refinished original wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light pouring through tall windows. 

The kitchen, last renovated in 2014, is a sunlit haven overlooking the landscaped backyard. It features custom wood cabinetry, Paperstone countertops, Franke sink, and premium appliances including Liebherr, Bosch, Samsung, and Blue Star. Open shelving crafted from original 1852 studs pays homage to the home's roots. The home's original "tea room" extension remains intact and is one of the few surviving in Fort Greene.

Upstairs, each bedroom offers built-in closets and excellent light. The second-floor front bedroom retains a fireplace that can be reopened, and plumbing in the primary allows easy addition of an ensuite if desired. The bathrooms feature classic clawfoot tubs and windows inviting natural light.

In the front, the property retains its crossetted Greek Revival upper-story window enframements with slab lintels, dentiled transom bar, and Italianate wooden cornice with paired brackets. Complementing these historic details is a landmark-approved facade restoration that  includes a new portico and stoop with railings and balusters, lighting, copper detailing, and a bluestone patio that is heated for snow melt in winter. The landscaped back garden provides a simple yet serene place to relax, with storage underneath. 

Mechanical systems are robust and modernized: upgraded electrical and plumbing, mini-split HVAC units, dual water heaters, recirculating hot water system, Nest thermostats, and a full security and fire monitoring setup.

Located just steps from the beautiful Fort Greene Park, 250 Cumberland Street offers the perfect blend of historic charm and unbeatable neighborhood amenities. Spend your weekends at the park's lively farmers markets and community events, or explore the renowned dining scene just half a block away on DeKalb Avenue.
