## Property Overview

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. You're also walking distance to the Brooklyn Cultural District, home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and a variety of theater, dance, and other cultural institutions.

Based on house sales in Fort Greene with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3021010057. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
